• Mommy of Multiples




    Welcome to my blog! My name is Liz ~ first and foremost I am a child of the living God, saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ. I am also the wife of an amazing man named Donny. I'm a stay-at-home mom to five little miracles named Logan, Hudson, Madison, Candice and Samantha. Motherhood has always been a part of my vision for the future. Little did I know what God had in store – carrying quintuplets, bringing four babies into the world at once, and raising five. Here is a place we share our challenges, truimphs, joys and sorrows.

  • Words from Mom:

    "Being a mother has taught me more about the grace of God and my own shortcomings than any other experience in my life. I see God’s grace every morning as they wake up healthy and strong, as they laugh and giggle, as they run and play, as their minds develop right before my eyes. My biggest lesson learned is to cherish every moment with your children -they grow too fast. God never gives you more than you can handle…and I am going to do all that I can for my little ones -especially when they face challenges." "True, some of the lessons they’ve taught me were not very fun as they were happening, but the good moments mix up with the not-so-good moments in a wonderful curriculum ordained for me by God Himself. And since the lessons my children teach me were lovingly designed for me by my Father in Heaven, I will choose to embrace each moment and study these lessons that I may one day hear from the Teacher, “Well done, good and faithful Mommy.”" -Liz Dixon

    "I honestly can say that being a mother is the most powerful and important feeling in the world. How lucky I am to be blessed with this opportunity to raise five children of God. I feel so deeply in love with each of my beautiful children. I crave their smiles, their smell, their hugs and kisses. They are my every reason for being. They are part of me, and of my husband, and yet each one is their own little person; a person that God created and I carried. They were a part of my body and then our physical bond was separated but that intimate and emotional bond will always be there. A bond between a mother and her children is so complicated and yet so simple at the same time. I love the calling I have been given in life. I love being Mommy to Logan, Hudson, Madison, Candice and Samantha."- Liz Dixon

    "So much is involved in raising five children. We have already experienced so much in just over the last three years. I can’t believe it’s only been three years. In some ways I feel like half a lifetime has gone by. Through it all, many things have been uncertain, but one thing has stayed the same. Our Heavenly Father, Christ Jesus, has been watching over our family, keeping us safe and guiding us each day. We want our children to have hearts full of love and a strong faith in God. We are a Christian family desiring to raise our children with the primary focus of training their hearts!"- Liz Dixon

    "God gave me strength when I couldn’t go on, life when my body was trying to shut down, encouragement to my broken heart, meals when the refrigerator was empty, a place to live when ends did not meet, peace in the midst of turmoil, and a contentment that went beyond my circumstances. Sure life gets hard now and then. My heart may still become anxious and my mind may begin to assume the worse, but today I know that contentment comes from within. I have learned to be content regardless of my circumstances because God is faithful to me. I am so very blessed." – Liz Dixon

    "This is the place I come to share my stories, thoughts, prayers, battles, struggles, and victories as a Christian mom. I’m not saying that I’m a perfect mom, just an honest mom in need of God’s grace everyday as I try to live out the calling that he has given me as a mother."- Liz Dixon

    "Thanks to the help and prayers of everyone, inside and outside the hospital, and all over the world we once again have triumphed over this trial. God is good! For each and every one of you…we are ETERNALLY GRATEFUL!"- Liz Dixon

    "My children have taught me the sweetness of cuddles, hugs, kisses, and hearing a little voice say, “I wanna play with my Mommy,” as Logan climbs into my lap. My children have taught me the joys of dancing in the living room, running through the sprinkler, and taking puddle walks barefoot after it rains. My children have taught me to find pleasure in simple things like stickers, lollipops, and balloons. It is entirely possible to “read” your kid’s favorite book to them in the car while driving. They will correct you if you “skip a page”. Popsicles and fruit snacks cure just about all ailments. Mommy makes an awesome superman machine and an equally awesome airplane. Thanks to the Little Einsteins the Eiffel tower is where Logan’s ticket for the musical pet train is found. Walls make especially good canvases for crayon and permanent markers. So do doors and walls. Fortunately, Mr. Clean makes the magic eraser which cleans things up in a snap. My children are teaching me how fleeting life is as each year goes by in a blink already and I know time will move faster the older they get. Being a mother has taught me more about the grace of God and my own shortcomings than any other experience in my life. I see God’s grace every morning as they wake up healthy and strong, as they laugh and giggle, as they run and play, as their minds develop right before my eyes. My biggest lesson learned is to cherish every moment with your children -they grow too fast. God never gives you more than you can handle…and I am going to do all that I can for my little ones -especially when they face challenges. True, some of the lessons they’ve taught me were not very fun as they were happening, but the good moments mix up with the not-so-good moments in a wonderful curriculum ordained for me by God Himself. And since the lessons my children teach me were lovingly designed for me by my Father in Heaven, I will choose to embrace each moment and study these lessons that I may one day hear from the Teacher, “Well done, good and faithful Mommy.”"-Liz Dixon

She Loves With All Her Heart

Posted on October 21, 2007 by Liz

Today, is my little sister’s birthday. Although, she is one year younger than me, it does not feel so. It never has. I have always looked up to her so much. If you don’t know my sister well, she is very smart, although she may not feel that way, she is. Her mind is amazing. The way it works. I’m constantly in awe of her. Her thoughts come out like velvet on a page and she can create a masterpiece from nothing. She is beautiful. She has a heart of gold and loves with all her heart. She loves me so much that it hurts. This is not a bad thing, just true. It broke my heart to see my sister seeing me in the hospital as she would visit and knowing how scared she was to lose me. I hate to put you through that sis. I’m so thankful for having a sister that is not only an amazing person, but a role model, and a best friend. I love you sis!

    Liz -

    I’d cried reading this. Thank you for all your kind words and praises, and for your confidence in me. I’m most touched by how you know me, how you see me, and how you see and understand even the things I don’t say aloud. We sisters are connected to one another is some grand, cosmic way. It brings both joy and pain. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world.

    I’m so glad I was able to see you and spend time with you and your family on my birthday.

    All my love,
    Mere

    As evident these two sisters have and continue to have a special bond. Both of you are weaving a tapestry of love, and caring, with some tears and many smiles that keep you close and touch other lives.
