Having babies during the holidays has got me feeling like a kid on Christmas morning all over again. I’m anxiously counting down the days! We’ve been having a ton of fun doing ALL the holiday things with the babes that I’m running a little behind on my present shopping. We get to play Santa for the first time this year and what goes in our stocking must be equally as cute as what’s under our tree. Here’s some fun…
The season of giving is upon us and I’m so excited to see the babes experience their first Christmas. We’ve got a small house so my philosophy on gifts is “less is more”. I love a good quality gift that’s not short on style and will be used for longer than 5 minutes (we all know what a 1 yr old’s attention span is). Since the babes can’t really tell me what they want for Christmas, I’ve searched high…
Sleep is truly a beautiful thing. I never fully appreciated the beauty of a good nights sleep until I had children. I knew infants were hard and the lack of sleep would be brutal but I think you can never be fully prepared for the lack of sleep and zombie mom status when expecting twins. As most new, first time moms do, I read all the books and attempted to arm myself with as much newborn knowledge as I…
We hopped a flight to Texas this past weekend to spend Thanksgiving with our family and friends! Traveling with a baby can be pretty daunting but doing it with twins is just down right terrifying… Ok, maybe it’s not that bad, but I do get some pretty crazy looks at the airport and tend to attract a crowd. The babes have been on 2 vacations and this trip home marks their third. The first time they flew, they were…
Tuesday November 17 is World Prematurity Day. Today we join the March of Dimes in their campaign to raise awareness about premature births and wear purple to show our support. 1 in every 10 babies will be born premature. Today we celebrate the nearly 15 million babies who came into the world a little too early this year and we remember the more than 1 million babies who didn’t survive their fight with prematurity. Each story of prematurity is…
We are starting our second week of an exterior renovation and this past week has really reminded me how important it is for the babes and I to get up and out at least once a day. With the construction taking over our driveway, carport and backyard, it hasn’t been exactly easy to get outside so I opted to hang inside. Late last week I started feeling pretty down and realized that we hadn’t been to a play date…
We’ve been battling an epic cold here for the past week and a half… complete with snotty noses, congestion, sleepless nights, and lots of extra snuggles. I seem to be a magnet for catching colds come fall and winter so I’m really hoping the babes follow after my husband, who hardly ever gets sick.
This is the second time the babes have caught a cold in their 9 short months of life so I’m sharing a few of my favorite…
