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. These are the parts that I would love to hide. It would be amazing if I could post only the happy,Continue reading “Overwhelmed”

A couple months ago a friend asked if I could belly dance for a group she is a part of. I replied full of enthusiasm and energy thinking “Sure I can give a 30 minute presentation on that! 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.)

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”

My Mom and I have always been close. Even when I was a shitty teenager and pretended to hate her for a while. (Its embarrassing how much you learn when you “grow up” and your head is no longer up your butt.) She is usually the first person I call if there is a crisisContinue reading “Mom’s Best Advice”

A while back I read the kids all of the posts that I’d written. The Boy made me promise that I’d write one about him. When I told him that everyone had a nickname instead of a real name he tried to convince me that his nickname should be “Naked Boy” because he doesn’t likeContinue reading “The Boy”
