Thoughts on Motherhood
“Everything has changed yet, I am more me than I’ve ever been”
– Iain Thomas
Yesterday I lost Everly.
That still sounds so awful, even to type… or text and I can’t even bear to speak it.
I lost her, I lost sight of her for a split second and then lost her, couldn’t find her.. lost, completely lost. I lost her and could’ve lost her forever… the thought process was strong, it was innate, and it was all consuming, she’s gone.
After 5 minutes of shear panic, she was found, and to the mama who brought…
For spring break, the babes and I took a little road trip to meetup with my dad who was on a bucket list motorcycle ride from Texas to California. I thought it might be a sh*t show because we were on the tail end of potty training but I knew it would mean so much to my dad for us to go so I wanted to make it work. Here’s a recap of our trip and how we ended…
We hit the hiking trails this week in search of wildflower blooms in East County, San Diego and it was definitely a learning opportunity on how to hike with toddlers. While the thought of hiking alone with twins is a little daunting, I knew they would love it so I wanted to make it work.
Ultimately, we had a blast but along the way I kept having mini ‘mom-epiphanys’ about how “this would’ve worked so much better” or “I should’ve…
It’s been a while since I’ve posted an update on the babes and how we’re doing life with twins… We’re in the throws of the terrible twos and while I’m loving every second of it, there are also tons of challenges. Every day is such a new day with these two goof balls… one day they’re up and the next they’re hot messes or in Evie’s words “Evie mess” haha.
I like to keep a clean, quiet and peaceful house……
It’s hard to believe the babes are 2! I know it’s so cliche to say but how in the world did that happen? Birthdays around here are and will always be a big deal. It’s a celebration of another year of life and memories made. My mom always did such an amazing job at making me feel special on my birthday and I can’t wait to pass that on as the babes get older. This year I gave my best…
Raise your hand if you spend way too much time browsing instagram… GUILTY as charged… but about a year ago I stumbled across a fun mama hashtag and after doing some further digging, I found an account that I immediately identified with. The account featured “mompreneurs’ and #ladyboss’s who were all so relatable. They shared their adventures of navigating motherhood while trying to grow and raise a business, simultaneously. These women chatted about their successes and told stories of…
As a twin mom, uncertain if I’m having any more children, I often shed a tear when a milestone comes and goes. This is definitely the case as I bid farewell to tandem baby wearing. I have tandem wore these two little monkeys for nearly two years, on countless grocery trips, several hikes and through airports all over. I will forever cherish feeling both babes next to me while we explored the world and conquered one airline at a…
