5 Questions: Casey from TLC’s “Quints by Surprise”

I’m excited to introduce my brand new PopMommy feature, “5 Questions.”  Special thanks to super mom Casey Jones from the TLC show Quints by Surprise for being my very first guest.

Ethan and Casey Jones were grade school sweethearts who married after college and had their first daughter, Eliot.  When they were ready to give Eliot a baby brother or sister, they were surprised to find out they were having quints!  They soon welcomed girls Brooklyn, Ryan, Britton, Lila and their first son, Jack.  They currently live in Austin, TX and the show is all about the challenges and joys of raising five new babies, especially in this challenging economy.

5 Questions: Casey Jones from TLC’s “Quints by Surprise“

1. Hi Casey. Your show is called “Quints by Surprise.” What has been the biggest surprise since you’ve had the new babies?

CJ: I would have to say that the biggest surprise is how much you can handle when you have no other choice! I never would have guessed that I could handle having so many kids and I never knew it would be so much fun…in spite of the craziness!

2. What is the best thing about doing the reality show “Quints by Surprise?”

CJ: We have a great time with the show! It’s a lot of fun working with the crews and getting to know them all and we have great videos of all of our family’s adventures!

3. What is your best advice for new moms of multiples?

CJ: Have fun!! Don’t let the stress and the worry and the work of it all win! If you do, you’ll miss out on some amazing times with your babies!

4. Besides your own show, what is some “must watch” television (or children’s DVDS) in the Jones’ house?

CJ: We don’t really get to watch much TV anymore, but we used to love Lost, 24, and DWTS (Dancing with the Stars.) For the kids, Baby Einstein is a must! Though now they are really into Blue’s Clues, Sesame Street, and Barney.

5. Finally, we all know the success of the pop group the Jonas Brothers.  Well, how about the Jones Sisters and a Brother? Are the kids musical?

CJ: The kids do love to dance…especially Jack and Brooklyn!! Who knows??? 😉

Casey and family have just wrapped up their very first season of Quints by Surprise and I’m crossing my fingers for season 2.   If you love the show, like I do, help bring it back to TLC by clicking here.   Also leave a comment for me below.
