There are two times of year that I absolutely detest. I used to not care as a child, but as a parent, Daylight Savings has become the dreaded behavioral shift in my household. Maybe if I didn’t have twins, it wouldn’t be such a big deal, but getting the girls asleep at the same timeContinue reading “Will They Sleep?”

The Baby Carrier
What are the parts of motherhood that make you feel insecure about your body? I feel like there are a zillion, if we let it happen: bathing suits, special occasions, pretty much anything. But the one that got me today was the baby carrier. I don’t think I have ever worn anything that made meContinue reading “The Baby Carrier”
Embrace the Chaos
Yev and I have been trying to have the kids help us with more things. Not because it is in anyway helpful… yet. I’m sure we’ll get to a stage where them cracking and beating eggs for breakfast will be immensely helpful; however, right now, it takes longer, extends cooking times, and ensures more toContinue reading “Embrace the Chaos”
The Aftermath
In the wake of illness and fatigue, the vacation laundry still needs to be done. I spent the last two days sleeping during nap time, but today, the cleaning beckoned. We had clothes strewn about every corner of the house because my children had gotten into our duffle bags, under the guise of “helping.” TheyContinue reading “The Aftermath”
I’m a Rosie
I have a daughter named Rose, and I have gained something indispensable from her recently. I learn from all of my children continually, but this one struck home, especially in the season of life I’m in. I find myself comparing my life to others. The larger house, the larger car, the “better” mom bod, theContinue reading “I’m a Rosie”
Kids & Laundry Make Memories
I exclusively do laundry without my children present. It’s usually while they’re sleeping or out of the house. Well, today it didn’t work out that way. I took too long doing this or that, and they woke up before I’d even started folding. I decided to try what I saw countless moms do online: haveContinue reading “Kids & Laundry Make Memories”
Naptime: The end of an era
I think the twins are losing their nap, and I am not ready. Recently people have been asking me, “Are they still napping?” To which I reply, “This ends?? I still nap!” Well, I think the time is near. They’ve been fighting their naps for a while, and now they make so much noise inContinue reading “Naptime: The end of an era”
Enjoy Today and Leave Tomorrow Alone
Today is a day where smiling and breathing come easy. I’ve had a very rough time with my toddlers for about a year, and the closer they get to three, the more I’m loving being a mom. They’re beginning to listen a little better, which means we can do more things. They’re finally learning thatContinue reading “Enjoy Today and Leave Tomorrow Alone”
If Only We Could Worry Less
The girls have a photo shoot later tonight, and I’m starting to get nervous. I’m really excited to work with the photographer, a close childhood friend, and I can’t wait to have more professional photos. I’m just not looking forward to the unknown. It’s kind of the way I feel about getting on an airplaneContinue reading “If Only We Could Worry Less”
“Who’s Really in Time Out Now, Mom?”
I’ve found that holding boundaries with children takes way more out of me than them. Sure, they’re upset to be put in time out or have a toy taken away, but enforcing is way harder than enduring. Especially if there are consequences. My girls are going through a bit of an “I’ll show you” stage.Continue reading ““Who’s Really in Time Out Now, Mom?””
