Hi! I’m Chelsea, the brain behind The French Lemon.  I live a pretty crazy life most of the time.  I am a mom to five kids (two sets of twins!!) and a wife to a pretty amazing guy!  Daniel and I were high school sweethearts and I happily married him at the tender age of eighteen.  We’ve been married fourteen years and are still going strong.  We welcomed our first daughter in September of 2007.  Our first set of twins, a boy and a girl, joined our little family two years later in October of 2009.  We took a bit of a hiatus from having babies to finish college.  We welcomed our second set of twins, another boy and girl, in August of 2016.

When I’m not trying to keep up with my kids and working as teacher, you can find me trying to find a few quiet minutes to read a book or finish one of my many craft projects.  I also love baking and dream daily of finding a sustainable way to travel the world while still providing for my family.  I believe that some of the finest things in life include a big mug of coffee, fuzzy socks, and cozy blankets.  I could survive on BLT sandwiches and vanilla coke.

The French Lemon is my little piece of the Internet to muse on how we run our family and how I survive as a mom of multiples.  You will find my ideas, thoughts, and opinions on everything from home decor to traveling with children. I hope I can share tips on how to manage a big family on a budget and how to give your children more experiences and less stuff. I can’t wait to share our lives with you!
