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…
Nursing in public is a hot topic lately. It seems like every week there is a new story about breastfeeding in the news. While I fully support any and all breastfeeding mamas, I myself prefer to cover up in public. For me, it’s a bond that I share with my babies and don’t really want to share it with strangers. It’s less about worrying about others’ being uncomfortable and more about feeling comfortable myself while feeding my babies.
Since I…
Ever since the babes were born, I’ve been suffering from a severe case of mom brain. I can hardly remember what I had for dinner last night let alone what milestones the babes hit at 1 month old. I’ve been documenting the babes lives through pictures since day 1 but knew I really needed to write down our most important memories as they were happening so I wouldn’t forget when they are older.
I don’t love traditional things so I…
When we found out we were expecting, I thought of all the possibilities for our little ones room and dreamed up the perfect nursery. Then we were hit with TWINS… say what? That’s right, twins. My first thought was how are we going to all fit in our tiny house?
Our house is tiny, not like the tiny houses you see on HGTV but tiny in it’s own right. We have a 900 sq ft, two bed one bath Mid…
In honor of International Baby Wearing week, here’s my take on Baby Wearing Twins.
I started baby wearing with the baby K’tan wrap when the babes were about 6 weeks old. I only wore one baby at a time and quickly fell in love with it. I was able to hold a baby and answer emails or eat my lunch and even clean the house. It felt like a new found freedom, a small victory in my daily struggles of…
