There are many unknowns when you have a premature baby. Will there be NICU time? Will your baby be behind developmentally or will they meet regular milestones? And what about growth spurts and wonder weeks? There are many things I could talk about regarding the topic of premature births, but today I want to focus …
Woohoo, you’re pregnant! Congratulations!!!! Whether this is your first pregnancy, or you already have kids, having a baby is a huge deal. As much joy as pregnancy brings (hello, darling little baby!), it also brings a freaking lot of pain. It’s totally worth it and pregnancy is a blessing… but it’s an even bigger blessing …
Most of the time, upon learning that I have twins, I’m met with unpleasant commentary. “Better you than me!” “You’ve got your hands full!” or “Double trouble!” If I were to generalize, I’d definitely say that the general consensus (at least at the Target checkout line) is that twins are NOT something to try for. …
I’m sure every parent has experienced a time when their child was completely out of control. Meltdown city. Temper tantrum. Pitching a fit. Whatever you want to call it, we have alllll been there.

When I was pregnant with my first, I remember people telling me to sleep while I could, because once the baby came, I wouldn’t have the luxury!

I remember when I first found out that I was going to be a mom of twins and let me tell you… my emotions were all over the place. There was some joy, but honestly? My first reaction was to completely freak out. Once I got over the initial shock, I was able to calm …
So you’re pregnant with your second (or third!) pregnancy! First of all, HUGE congratulations! Watching the sibling bond develop between my children is one of my favorite parts of parenting. They love each other so fiercely and it absolutely warms my heart. But, I will warn you that being pregnant with a toddler has its …
I need to start with this post with a very important piece of information: I am not a naturally organized person. Time management and staying organized is something that doesn’t easily to me, and it’s something that I’ve had to work really hard at. In my time as a stay at home mom, I’ve worked …
A question I’ve been getting a lot is how on earth do you keep your marriage alive after you have twins? Obviously Ben and I aren’t perfect. We have flaws, we get into dumb arguments, he loads the dishwasher wrong and I let it go for 37 days and yell at him on the 38th …
Christmas is my absolute favorite time of the year! There is absolutely nothing like snuggling up in front of the lights of the Christmas tree and reading some Christmas books. My mom has always given my children a new Christmas book every year, plus we check some out from the library, and I inevitably pick …
