On a typical day, Divina Joseph's life is filled with the laughter and energy of her five young daughters, including quadruplets Lyanna, Lisa, Lara, and Libby, as well as her eldest daughter Lana and her niece Jasmine.

As a mother of quadruplets, Divina has learned to cherish the special bond she shares with her children, and she encourages aspiring mothers and new mothers not to fear motherhood, as babies are 'angles who will never let you get low.'

Divina's eldest daughter Lana, who is often referred to as the 'big sister,' has had to adapt to her new role, but she has found a way to make it work. 'It has not been as conducive as it had been before my quadruplets arrived,' she admits, 'but I love them and always look forward to spending time with them after school.'
