Welcome to Tried & True Mama, a space where we acknowledge all of the challenges that life throws our way, while staying true to who we are.

 

My name is Molly and I’m a 28 year old stay-at-home-mom of six kiddos. My journey of motherhood has been one filled with many plot twists and surprises, along with more love and joy than I ever knew possible. I have four biological daughters – Presley (6), Sawyer (5), Lennon (4), and Halen (4) and one biological son, Bowie (1) with my husband, Tim.

 

Our older two are brunettes with dark eyes and olive skin, while our twins have been so lovingly dubbed the “white walkers” due to their fair skin, blonde hair, and crystal clear blue eyes. Our twin girls are identical, although very easy to tell apart from personality alone. Our baby boy, Bowie is a toss up still! We aren't sure what he will look like quite yet. We didn’t start naming our children with the intention of famous last names as first names, but here we are!

 

We also adopted my half-brother, Easton (5), when he was just two years old, after the father we shared passed away. He’s technically the uncle to all of his sisters, which I’m sure will make for a fun prank on others one day!

 

We live with the intention of a simplistic childhood, not focusing too much on materialistic things but rather experiences and memories. We believe in eating meals together around the table as a family and learning as much as well can from one another.

 

When I’m not lathering sunscreen all over my Irish babies or sneaking veggies in my picky eaters’ meals, I write. I would love to publish a children’s book one day and maybe even an autobiography. Writing has always been therapeutic for me and I hope to inspire you to create memorable childhoods with your own children, through my words.
