Jake’s mom stayed with us for the past couple days while he was out of town on business, and she was kind enough to make meals for us! She always has the best ideas for recipes that are simple to make but taste great, and last night’s meal was no exception. This Spaghetti Bake is …
Moments Mommy Captured: 4/23/2013
It’s been a crazy rat race around here lately…the fun never ends, that’s for sure! I’m dropping in for just a few moments while all three, yes three kids are napping at the same time. I really hope I can keep them all on the same afternoon nap schedule…those couple hours each day is my time …
Quick Chicken Cacciatore
Hello hello! I know it’s not a Tuesday (the day I typically share recipes), but it’s also not looking a thing like Spring around here, so until the weather straightens out a bit, I think I can get away with mixing up my schedule a little too. This is the lovely view of sleet and …
Be A Blessing, Not A Naysayer
I think we’ve all had moments in life when we were completely annoyed by the negative naysayers of the world who seem to know exactly how to get under our skin by saying things that really shouldn’t be said. Since the day we found out we were having twins, I’ve heard it all. Many people …
Emersyn & Mckinley: 1 Month
My precious baby girls are a month old! I can hardly believe it. Lucky for me, they’re still pretty small so I think I’ll feel like we’re in the newborn stage for a while yet. They still sleep for much of the day, but every day they’re awake for a little longer, and we’re absolutely …
Mommy Tees
I’m a stay-at-home mom, which means sometimes it can be pretty darn tempting to stay in my sweats all day, since technically I don’t have to abide by a dress code or wear anything specific. However, I find that when I spend a few minutes to shower (or at least wash my face and brush …
Overnight Oats (Three Ways)
If you’re a mom then you know how easy it can be to forget to feed yourself throughout the day! Breakfast lately seems to be especially easy for me to skimp on. My days of waking up before the kids are non existent as of late since I try to sneak in every extra bit …
On Accepting Help
One of the most valuable things I’ve learned since becoming a mommy of twins is that it’s okay (and necessary) to ask for help. Frankly, that hasn’t ever been easy for me. There’s this thing called pride that easily gets in the way. I love the feeling of accomplishment that comes after finishing something on my own, …
Moments Mommy Captured: 4/7/2013
Well, friends, I made it through my first full week flying solo as a stay-at-home mom of three! Jake was working, and no family members were here helping me out during the day. Thank goodness Jake wasn’t traveling at all this week, because God knows I was more than ready for him to walk through the …
Exercise & Pregnancy (My Experiences)
Hello and Happy Wednesday to you! A while back someone asked me about my experiences with exercise and pregnancy. I spent some time answering her questions, and found it to be sort of therapeutic to reflect on the 18 months of my life that I’ve been pregnant, and how maintaining an active lifestyle through it …
