Just slightly over two years ago the girls were born; Raegan at 7:29 and Ella at 7:32 PM. I had no idea then the journey we were about to embark on, but I am thankful for every day. I am always amazed at the girls and their bond. Their personalities really are as if one […]
Dear baby girls, Tomorrow you turn two, and though it seems like only yesterday you were born, you are no longer babies, but becoming two strong-willed ladies. I’ve watched you grow every day, from two tiny bums on an ultrasound machine to sassy, bright eyed girls wanting to explore the world. As your birthday comes, […]
Despite what people believe, when the clock strikes twelve January first, the past is not immediately forgotten or erased; a new year begins, but not with a clean slate. We unfortunately do not live in a romantic comedy where that ball drop leads to the love of our life, the answer to our problems, a […]
As 2015 rapidly comes to a close, I cannot help but reflect on the year. I have to say, this year was not the easiest. There were highs – trip to Europe and making new friends – but, many more lows. When I think about it, it becomes clear that the last couple of years […]
When it came time for me to go back to work, the same thought circled my mind again and again; is this the best thing for Ella? So many parents of kids with special needs or different abilities ultimately decide not to work, for any number of reasons. If it had been possible, I would […]
Ask anyone who has known me for years and they’ll tell you that Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year.

This year; however, I’ve been finding […]
Yesterday, the girls turned 23 months and I can’t believe that in one month I will have two two-year olds!! It doesn’t seem that long ago that I brought home two tiny babies, who were already almost three months old. What really amazes me with the girls are their different personalities, and how fast they […]
I’m excited to share my most recent piece for Twiniversity for so many reasons. I’ve always struggled with how I look, with my body. I’ve always wondered how life would be if I were skinnier or prettier. I’m guessing most of you reading this have wondered the same about some aspect of yourself. I’ve constantly […]
Two tiny heartbeats jump up and down Nervous faces glance around Mama knows something is wrong You’ll be born before day is done Faces appear behind white masks Explaining their next-to-impossible tasks Time has slowed to a crawl Replaced by tears which begin to fall Then, you are both here No screams or cries to […]
Despite everything that was happening in my marriage, one thought that constantly ran through my mind was; can I really do this on my own? Can I do it all without a partner? Of course, I assumed I could not; that the logistics alone of three kids under the age of four would make it […]
