I haven’t talked about my professional life on here much but its one of the best and craziest parts of my life right now. I work in a very fun environment where we embrace the differences of in our team and even encourage them. We work with children and its my opinion that exposing childrenContinue reading “Fun Facts”

I love it when I feel like I don’t have any weird/funny stories to share with you and God looks down and says ” I got you boo.” (Queen Latifah voice remember.) Last night I excitedly fed the twins PURPLE baby food. I can’t even remember what was in it but I was so excitedContinue reading “Purple Baby Food”

I’m very fortunate as a new Mom to have found some awesome Mom friends who I can turn to when things are insane (which is pretty much all the time). One of these dear friends is Hillary. We connect on many levels. As she says, “While I’m sure most working Moms live a life ofContinue reading “Some Traditions Are Meant To Be Broken”

Since its been an interesting week already I thought I’d share some of the crazy with you. Here are a few of the ridiculous things that have happened this week in chronological order. 1) The Girls Took Their 1st Christmas Pictures… Our family photographer is infinitely patient thank God! They spent most of the timeContinue reading “My Wacky Week…So Far”

Dear Tiny Babies, Please, please slow down. You are the first and last children that I will carry in my body and while I love to celebrate your every milestone I also selfishly mourn because they are milestones I will never get the chance to celebrate again.
