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 …
Strawberry Lemonade Fluff
This morning I had to go to the dentist for a routine cleaning. Ugh, how I hate the dentist. If it weren’t for my husband who is the one in the house who prioritizes our dental health, I probably would have postponed my visit until who knows when. I’ve always had bad luck at the …
Moments Mommy Captured: Happy Easter (3/31/2013)
Happy Monday! I’m coming at you a day late with Moments Mommy Captured due to being a little exhausted from our fun weekend! We had family staying with us to celebrate Easter, and had a blast. My youngest brother, Jason, and his wife Ali, drove up from Kansas City on Thursday night. They met the …
I Want(ed) Proof
We usually put our kids to bed between 7 – 7:30pm. This means most of our nights are spent at home, and usually include watching some TV. One of our favorite shows is Shark Tank that airs Friday nights on ABC. If you aren’t familiar, it features a panel of potential investors, known as “sharks” who consider offers …
