Since a nasty stomach bug knocked us out of commission on New Year’s Eve and Day, I’m giving myself a “DO OVER” of ringing in the New Year and setting my resolutions (better late than never, right?) …
2015’s New Year’s resolution was to give birth, seriously, that was all I resolved to do. I was 33 weeks pregnant and feeling like a 300 lb penguin waddling all over the place, I was SO done. Needless to say, I…
This year, the best gifts given to us weren’t under a tree or wrapped in a bow. They came swaddled in blankets and have brought us more joy than any other present we’ve ever received. Having children has returned the whimsical feeling to the holiday season and I’ve been absolutely loving watching them experience my favorite time of year.
I hope this Christmas brought you joy, love, and laughter and that you spend the season being present with the ones…
Following up to my previous post, Traveling with Twins | 0-6 Months, here’s my short guide to traveling with twins from 6-12 months. The older babies get, the more entertainment they require, seemingly the more stuff they need, and the bigger they are (obviously).
We traveled from San Diego to Austin for Thanksgiving break and spent 10 days touring Texas. The babes met all their Great Grandparents, saw their first Christmas tree, had their first Thanksgiving dinner and went on…
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…
