Before her fourth kid arrived, Samm Davidson was pretty sure it was time for a more permanent method of birth control.

And I encourage that time together, since I have the kids most of the time during the school year,” she writes. “It requires patience and flexibility from me, though.” Today, she’s talking about how they make it work.
