I love watching the way these two love each other. They’re happiest when they are as close as can be, always holding hands and cuddling, and if I set them down apart from each other it’s only a matter of minutes before they’ve rolled and wiggled so they can be touching again. It’s pretty fun …

Our Family Gym Membership
Working out has always been important to me. While obviously it’s good for my physical health, I’m actually more motivated to do it because of how it makes me feel emotionally. Breaking a good sweat is an amazing stress reliever and gives me a sense of calm. It gets rid of my negative energy and …
Life of a Twin Mom
Yesterday I finally took Emersyn and Mckinley for their six month well visit (they’re now seven and a half months). What I thought would be a quick in and out appointment ended up being an hour and a half. The doctor checked them over and was happy with their growth – they’re still little peanuts …
Healthy Homemade Fruit Roll Ups
I’m always on the lookout for healthy snacks to stock my pantry with, so I was pretty excited last week my mom showed up with homemade fruit roll ups! She has apple trees at their farm which she makes into applesauce and from there it’s just a matter of cooking a layer of it in …
A Whole New World
Emersyn and Mckinley learned how to sit up on their own this weekend! And we’ve been having a blast this week figuring out all sorts of new things for them to play with and look at. I forgot how much suddenly changes when babies learn to sit up! A whole new world is available to …
Rest Is Necessary To Be Effective
Yesterday after we got home from church I was hit with some sort of weird stomach bug, which wiped me out for the rest of the day. I ended up sleeping for three and a half hours, and Jake took care of the kids after they woke up from their naps. After a low key …

Birthday Buddies
I worked for Feed My Starving Children before I had kids, and loved the relationships I was able to develop while working there. It was amazing working with other people who were like-minded. One of those people was Ashley. She and I were Event Planners together and we clicked from the minute we met. One …
Papa & Nana
My parents are in town this weekend and it makes my heart so happy to see the relationship they’ve developed with Baylen over the past two years. We had been talking all week about how Grandma AND Grandpa were going to come to our house, and randomly Bay would go to the door and say, …
I’m Still Me
Yesterday I was blessed by adult conversations! It was a nice break from the baby talk and toddler talk. It’s funny, because I’m so used to my own little world when I’m at home alone with my kids, that sometimes I feel a little awkward when I actually have time to talk to an adult! …
