After splitting from estranged ex-husband, Jim Edmonds, last last year, Meghan has been raising their three kids, 21-month-old twin boys Hayes and Hart, and daughter Aspen, 3.
The RHOC star took to Instagram to let her fans know how she survives looking after the three kids while in quarantine.
She said: “Quarantine day (??) and mama’s still hangin’ in there!
“I get by with a little help from my friends, AKA, a hydrating face mask and a glass of red wine (that I’m hiding in my @disneyjunior cup ).”
She continued: “I’ve been getting a lottt of messages from people saying ‘omg I don’t know how you do it’ or ‘you make single mom life look easy!’
“… well… it’s NOT and I don’t want to portray the idea that I’m breezing through this weird and crazy time.”

Meghan added: “I have 3 young babies and I’m so blessed to be able to share this extra time with them but at the same time, it’s been tough.
“There are times where I have to depend on screen time more than I would like to or give the kids snacks that I usually wouldn’t just to get them to stop screaming or crying.”
She admitted that she works hard to keep herself healthy and practices self-care.
She wrote: “Right now, doing these things are essential for me to get through each day and feel sane, along with taking my liver pills, colloidal silver, and elderberry daily to make sure I’m staying on top of my health game.”

She continued: “Other than that I’ve been #treatingmyself to face masks, some robe-time, facetiming with my friends, giving myself a little happy hour, or binge watching new shows (or just rewatching @loveisblind).
“After talking with some of my friends in our #momsquad group, we realized how many people probably think our lives are SO easy right now so we all wanted to come together and share what each of us are doing to get through our days, whether it’s by showing some of our at-home essentials or sharing the best way to #treatyourself at home.”
The star revealed how she would be handling custody of the kids during coronavirus quarantine with her former baseball playing ex-husband, Jim.

The reality star said another Instagram video: “At the advice of our pediatrician, we have decided that our kids are going to stay where they were when this whole ‘safer at home’ started.
“And it was with me, so they’re going to stay with me until this passes. Stay safe guys.”
Jim recently came under fire for “hoarding” food after going on a $2,000 shopping spree at Costco.
He told fans on Instagram: “Costco was ready for me yesterday, looks way more impressive in person.”

He filed for divorce from Meghan – his third wife – in October last year.
In June 2019, Jim came clean about having a “lapse in judgement,” and sexting with a woman well-known in the baseball world while Meghan was pregnant with twins.
The reality star also accused him of an inappropriate relationship with the family’s young nanny.
