I had 3 kids in under 3 years. I wanted my kids to have the childhood I never had.

I'll never forget the day my mom told me she was pregnant. It was after school, and we were all in her minivan: me, her, and my stepfather. She wanted to tell me in the van because she thought I might be upset, and there was nowhere to storm off to in the car.
