I’ve been putting off writing about this because it’s all pretty new and exciting and we needed to make sure we told grandparents and parents first. After talking with The Hubs he’s agreed that it’s time to share our happiness. We now officially have FIVE children! No, I’m not pregnant! Haha! You see we’ve alwaysContinue reading “And Then There Were Five…”

“Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome!” This phrase means oh so much to me. It has become my mantra. So much so that I often wonder if I should have it tattooed on my butt cheek in block letters. “This body is property of the Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome way of life!” I couldn’t tell you whereContinue reading “Improvise, Adapt, and Overcome!”

Today I unlocked a new Mom Achievement. Today the Twins and I went to the grocery store without ANY help. I’m elated! I can’t tell you the last time I was so proud of myself! It was beautiful and so freeing! I spent the entire time grinning like a fool. I never thought I’d beContinue reading “Mom Achievement Unlocked!”

Before I had kids I never thought that things like birthday parties would make me feel insecure. Suddenly I’m planning the Twin’s first birthday party with my Mom and I’m overwhelmed. I want so badly to be one of those crunchy Moms that doesn’t let her kid have screen time or eat processed foods. IContinue reading “Pinterest Worthy”

Dear Reader, I sincerely apologize for the infrequency of my posts lately. It seems that being a working Mom is getting the best of me. I am overwhelmed and stressed and ready to explode.

It will be fine!” I knew my body well enough to know that I could make itContinue reading “Dance, Mommy Dance!”

Well it’s Wednesday so I guess it’s time for another poop story. (Seriously people it’s ridiculous how much of my life involves poop in some form of another.) About a week ago I trudged through my Mom’s muddy yard in the dark while carrying the twins in their car seats. I wasn’t looking at myContinue reading “Same Crap, Different Boot”

Dear New Bonus Parent, Welcome to the wild world of weird parenting! I’m going to tell you some things that I had to learn the hard way. You see when I became a Bonus Mom I thought I’d be great at it and that it would be easy peasy. I thought this because my BonusContinue reading “Dear New Bonus Parent”

I often have to remind myself that my life is made up of millions of moments and not just the ones that I am living. Sometimes its for a beautiful reason. I feel myself rise above the scene that is unfolding and do my best to soak it in and take a mental snap shot.Continue reading “Deep Breaths”

As The Twins approach their first birthday I find myself reflecting a lot on our journey. People sometimes ask me how I reacted when I found out we were having twins. I’d love to say that I reacted with grace and excitement but it was more along the lines of outright horror. We weren’t tryingContinue reading “Twins?!i”
