Hello again! This week has been a bit of a rough one! Thankfully my babies are growing like crazy, but my belly is huge, back is sore, and I think I’m officially losing my mind a little bit. I think it’s safe to say that these girls NEED to come out soon or I might make …
35 Weeks With Twins
Another week has passed and my girls are still cookin’ away! I had a doctor’s appointment today, and I’m definitely progressing! According to my doc I could go into full fledged labor any minute or stay where I’m at for a couple more weeks and have to be induced. We’ll see what happens! 35 Week …
Italian Parmesan Roasted Potatoes
Hello from snowy Minnesota! We awoke to a winter wonderland this morning and the news announcing that everything was canceled. To top it off, Baylen successfully got the snow day memo and slept in until 9:00! Since I had a little extra time to myself before he joined me for the day, I thought I’d …
Seeking Approval
As my bump gets bigger my flexibility continues to decrease which means I’ve had to spend more time observing Baylen when he’s playing instead of actually getting down on the floor and playing on his level.

Twin Girls’ Nursery Reveal
The names have been chosen, the walls are painted, the cribs are assembled, and we have enough diapers to get us through I’m guessing the first few days?! We are certainly in the nesting phase, and while I know there’s no way to adequately prepare for what our life will become in a few weeks, …
34 Weeks With Twins
Technically Wednesdays are supposed to be the day when I share a workout with you all, but at this point in my twin pregnancy I’ll be honest – I’m still working out, but am sticking to a pretty consistent routine which offers nothing new or interesting to share. So, for the next few weeks I’m …
Easy Apple Braid
As a youngster, my mom would buy butter braids from time to time and bake them for a special treat on Saturday or Sunday mornings. I have such fond memories of waking up to the sweet smell of apple and then getting to gobble down the braid with my brothers! When I found a recipe showing …
Every Moment
Since becoming a mom, I’ve struggled to find a consistent time each day to spend with the Lord. Mornings had always been my favorite time of day to have quiet time, ensuring that any day that started with my Creator would keep my perspective clear and my attitude grateful. My days start off much differently …

Here’s what happened with the Kuipers this week… This little smirk is becoming more frequent around our house…he can be pretty mischievous!
