On a typical day, Divina Joseph's life is filled with the joy and chaos of raising five young girls, including quadruplets Lyanna, Lisa, Lara, and Libby, who are now three years old.

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

Divina's eldest daughter, Lana, has taken on a new role as a big sister, and while it has its challenges, she has adapted and found common ground with her younger siblings.

'It has not been as conducive as it had been before my quadruplets arrived,' Lana admits, 'but I love them and always look forward to spending time with them after school.'

Watch the video to see a day in the life of Divina and her family.
