Welcome to The Wild and Wonderfour

Hi! I'm Tori and this blog is dedicated to my four wild and wonderful boys!

I've gone back and forth over the last few years about starting this journey and I've inevitably put it off or talked myself out of it because of lack of time and energy. But this summer really put into perspective how much I not only needed to document these moments for myself, but honestly for others. You know how sometimes you get onto Facebook or Instagram and randomly there is this blog post that just hits home for you. It speaks to you, it fits your life and what you're feeling at the time. Well, I hope to provide that to others as well. I spend my days, dedicating all of my time to not only my children, but my family, my husband, everyone around me, just like so many others. I want this blog to be a space for readers to feel connected, to know that everything they are feeling, others are feeling it too.

However, what I feel like so many blogs are lacking is sheer honesty. I want to provide a diary like feel to my blog. A way for me to document my days with my children. Not only what happened throughout the day and the silly, cute things the boys did, but also the bad. I want to share with everyone the constant fighting between the boys, the broken furniture and the temper tantrums and meltdowns. Why? Because I know I'm not the only one experiencing these things and I think so many of us are trying to portray these perfectly put together lives that we aren't just embracing every part of motherhood, of parenthood, and we should be. I want this blog to help other parents know that it's not easy and it's okay that it's not easy. I want parents to know that they're not alone in this journey, no matter how lonely it may feel sometimes. Not only do I want to share the crazy chaos that is our life, but I want to do it through laughter, because trust me, we have plenty of laughter in our house. I hope that through my posts and my stories readers can take comfort in knowing that every parent has just as many good days as there are bad.

I started this blog so that I could document my day to day life as a mother of not just four children, but four boys. They keep me on my toes, they push me to the edge, and they even make me question myself has a mother every single day. However, they fill my life with laughter, with joy and with purpose! The same things that I know all of your children give to you.

So, although we may not travel far or go on fancy journeys, everyday with these boys is a true adventure and I cannot wait to share them with you!

Tori
