A Sprinkle Of Individuality

One of the most common questions Jess is faced with is, “How do you make time for each child?” Like any parent [no matter if you have one child or a dozen], the answer is simple—they just do.

They look for everyday opportunities to be with each child one on one. Often, this means bringing a little one along for quick trips—whether it’s to the convenience store or the mall. Jared’s specialty is the gas station where he might buy a candy bar and a special drink for his tot of the day. Jess prefers hitting the road, with a brief stop at West Acres, for her bonding time. “I love me some Orange Julius with a pint-sized date! Some of the best talks are had when I turn off the radio and put down my cell phone and just talk to my children. They make me laugh more than anyone and although some days I feel like pulling my hair out strand by strand, I know I will never regret our choice to have this many children.”
