Three is definitely a crowd for this single mother. Total anarchy reigns. But this turmoil is the best.

After giving birth to three children in the span of a year—and they are not Tʀɪᴘʟᴇᴛꜱ—Stephanie Hansen is making headlines. After a tumultuous start to parenting that she never anticipated, Hansen is somehow ᴍᴀɴaging three young tᴏᴅᴅlers on her own.

Daphne, Stephanie Hansen’s first child, was born on January 28, 2020 in Washington state. Hansen had recently started a new relationship at the time. She began using birth control, but she didn’t anticipate being able to conceive again so soon. But less than three months later, the new mom was sʜᴏᴄᴋed to find she was expecting ᴛᴡɪɴꜱ with her new boyfriend. On December 8, 2020, she gave birth to her children Rubie and Penelope.

Hansen regularly uploads TikTok videos on raising her daughters, who are now 2 and 15 months old, and has developed a fan base. The mother has learned that wonderful things really do come in threes even if she wasn’t expecting her ᴛᴡɪɴꜱ. I am the happiest I’ve ever been in my entire life, she exclaimed. The finest thing that has ever occurred to me is these kids.
