First, let's be clear. I am NOT the woman from California who has recently had octuplets and has a total of 14 children. I only mention this because a few visitors have experienced a case of mistaken identity and are here looking for information on that family. This site has been in existence far longer that her 15 minutes of questionable fame. While I am not pleased that the mainstream media has used my blog name (though with a different spelling) to tag this woman, I'm still claiming proprietary rights for myself and my incredible readers. It is my hope that through coming to this site you will be blessed, will share a laugh, will be inspired to write and to dabble in some photography.
Please feel free to contact me at octamom@octamom.com or simply use the contact form on the right side bar. I look forward to hearing from you!
