Wife, mom of 6 (with TWO sets of twins!), Tara is one of the most encouraging people I have met. She lets go of perfection with ease, and has a calm about her that people are so drawn to.
Tara went from being a mom of 1, to a mom of 3, then 18 months later a mom of 4. When she and her husband tried for #5, they were surprised by #5 AND #6! Of course, she gets many questions from well-meaning people, like, “how do you do it?” and, “you must be a saint!” Tara talks about her response to those questions and the challenges of having a large family.
She and I talk about the logistics of managing a household and family of 8 people. I absolutely LOVE her hack to get her kids to help around the house!
We also get very real about the “whens” of life: ‘When my house is clean, WHEN I get older, WHEN all the laundry is done…’ and how important it is to celebrate in the mess.
Even though the end result was 6 kids, Tara and her husband struggled through an infertility story. Tara may shock you with her perspective on infertility and miscarriage. It is incredibly inspirational to me, and I can’t wait for you to hear about it!
Tara is an encourager. She makes everyone around her feel important and encouraged. She talks about how she does that and how to use the gifts that are given to us.
One of my favorite parts is Tara’s six month rule. In motherhood, seasons can be rough, but things change so fast. She talks about how everything can change in six months: it gets easier or it gets different. I absolutely love this perspective and plan to apply it more in my life!
Tune in for more from Tara, including how she finds time to herself, what she does, and a wannabe confession that we can all appreciate!
Good stuff!
Thank you, Sharon!
Tara used to “pet my head” in college. I was blessed to have her by my side as my BFF. I am who I am today because she loved me. She is a true encourager. I miss you LL! Love your LB
She is so comforting and amazing!
I haven’t seen Tara since she was a little girl. I remember her being so welcoming and friendly and making me feel so important to her. So I am thrilled to hear she is that way as an adult. So many times the struggles and disappointments in life can suppress our beautiful spirits from childhood. I can see, hers grew.
She’s still that way!
