First time mom syndrome

I’m a first time mom. When I go to the park or a restaurant I can distinguish the more experienced moms easily from myself - they are much more relaxed about everything.
At the park I hover over the boys and follow their every move just in case… just in case I don’t know what, […]


can’t live without

I recently started thinking about writing a post dedicated to some of the things that I have loved over the past few years as a Mom. Stuff that made/makes my life easier and that I enjoy using as part of my “job”. Then today I read this post on Motherhood Uncensored talking about […]


My Truth About Motherhood

My friend Wendy warned me over and over about how my heart was going to explode from all the love when I had children. So I had a really good idea of the good stuff. But until you’re a Mom, and in my case doubly so with twins, all the things people say […]


one small step for Momma, one giant step for Toddlers

I took the boys to the gym day care today to let them get used to it. They didn’t want to leave because they were enjoying all the new environment. Tomorrow I’m going to drop them off and go do a little cardio work out and see how they do without me. […]


In Rememberence Of…

I came across this post yesterday and wanted to join in the use to today, February 29th, as a day of commemorate our losses.
So today…

New Experience - Only One Baby?!

This weekend I had a new experience with the boys. I got to spend 24 hours with just one at a time. Dusty and Brad have done this several times in the past six months over weekends when I’ve gone out of town, but this was my first time. Dusty came and […]


Good Stuff

This picture wasn’t taken today but it’s a really good image of how our day has been… AWESOME. The boys are back to happy again after the Nap Transition v2.2 implementation. And yes, it really is this much fun (most of the time) being the mother of 13 month old twin boys. […]


adjusting

It’s always hard to adjust back to being alone with the twins after having had several days of extra hearts and hands. It seems to be equally as hard for them as me. They are used to having someone available to pick them up, play with them, and otherwise love on them like […]


Birth Prayers

Today my dear friend from Northern Virginia will have her labor induced to have her baby girl. I have spent the morning constantly thinking about them and sending up prayers. I expect my entire day will be in a state of prayer for the birth of this precious baby girl who is much […]


can’t sit still

I remember when I was a child how my mother was always busy. She would sit down for some tv in the evenings but usually she was always doing something. I couldn’t understand it, why she wasn’t able to just relax. Well add it to the list of things that make sense […]
