You may have noticed things have been a little quiet over here, and for good reason! Maybe you’ve noticed that the pictures I share on Instagram, I’m mostly hiding behind the kids. For good reason… I’m super busy growing a baby, which of course, means a growing bump and lots of naps! It’s true, it’s …

3 year old twins Josie and Margo are 3! I think we are officially out of both the baby and toddler phases! How crazy is that? Parenting toddler twins has been a delightful challenge (YES, it has been both delightful and challenging!), and I am so excited to watch my little girls personalities develop as …

YOU GUYS! I typed the title of this post as “Theo’s 4-year update.” Except I had to fix it because he’s 5! The most mind-boggling part of motherhood is how time can simultaneously stand still and fly by. Like when you’re pregnant and uncomfortable, time drags. When you’re sleep training and your baby has been …

We met our photographer, Melissa, during a mini Christmas photo shoot we did last year. I love mini shoots because 1. they’re affordable, and 2. they’re short. By the time my kids start melting down, it’s time to go. If they act a total fool or end up gashing their head open and dripping blood …

Every time I write personal posts, several things hold me back. I know my life can sometimes resemble a circus, but it’s really not that interesting. I know that. Who will want to read about everything I do? Well… I will. My husband. Our children. We’re gonna want to read about everything when we’re old …

4th of July is probably one of my favorite Holidays. I mean, I love Christmas and Thanksgiving, don’t get me wrong. But there is just SOMETHING about the summer weather that puts me in my happy place. The beginning of July in Rhode Island is usually perfect weather. Plenty of sunshine, but not too hot …

It’s here. The last day of summer. I mean, technically it’s still summer, but school starts tomorrow so it’s the end of summer for us, aside from maybe one or two last weekend beach days if we’re lucky. I suppose I’m being dramatic because my son, Theo, is only entering pre-k. He’ll be in school …

Theo is turning four this month, and I have never written about his birth story! Since I started blogging when he was 3 and my girls were 1, I feel as if there is a huge void in my blog from the first few years of parenting. I learned a TON in those years and …

I hate the idea of setting New Year’s resolutions, but I love the idea of setting goals for the new year. Why? Let me explain. A goal is a desired result. It is measurable… you either accomplish it or you don’t. A resolution is a permanent change to your life. That’s pretty intense, and it …
