Healthy Snack Idea: Banana Nut Salad
Jake and I are a day and a half into our Whole30 challenge and so far I’m enjoying the process of teaching my mind to be more intentional about the food choices I make. What I’ve come to realize is that I was doing quite a bit of mindless snacking through the day. Mostly when …
Good Ideas For 2014
2013 has been a crazy one. We settled into our new life in Minnesota, started this blog, welcomed two beautiful baby girls, transitioned Jake into a new job, celebrated Baylen’s second birthday, and survived it all! As I look toward 2014, I’ve been thinking about some areas I’d like to be intentional about. Overall, I’m …
Twin Mom Reflections: It Gets Better
I’ve been a twin mom now for nine and a half months. Truth be told, during those first weeks and months I wasn’t confident I’d make it this far. As much as I had tried to mentally prepare for it, the reality of simultaneously bringing two little humans into the world who were completely dependent …

Bikini After Babies
Many of us have probably heard it said that we should give ourselves as much time to get rid of the baby weight as it took to put it on. Well friends, that means my time is up. Last week I reached the milestone when Emersyn and Mckinley have officially been out of my belly longer than they were …
Twin Cities Moms Blog
Hello my beautiful readers! I hope your Wednesday is going swell. This morning I ventured out with the kids to the gym and Target. I am so thankful for my four wheel drive vehicle on days like this when the snow keeps fallin’. Between carrying the girls into the gym, pushing everybody in the Target …
Heart Issues
We’re in the midst of the first substantial snowfall of the year here in Minnesota, and this is the current view from my window. It’s the perfect afternoon to grab a hot cup of coffee and cozy up to have a chat. Even if you don’t have a beautiful dusting of white stuff, I’d love …
Zuppa Toscana Soup
Hi guys! I feel like so much has happened since our last visit, including a wonderful staycation that Jake and I got to have last weekend. My parents took the kids for a few days so we could get caught up on some things around the house that we haven’t had a chance to do …
