When it rains, get the perfect umbrella on Etsy

I’d like to thank my friend for her suggested post title, as my original title was: When it rains, it pours, and the roof leaks and the basement floods, and mold grows, and an electrical fire starts, and when heading down the stairs to clean up, you fall and break your leg, and then a […]

Battle of the Bulge Update: Month Three

It’s the third month since rejoining Weight Watchers and the sun is finally coming out, which of course means less clothing very soon (ugh- exposed arms). I lost 2.2 pounds last month and have 5.8 pounds (let’s round to 6) to my pre – twins weight. All of my old pants fit, but there’s definitely […]

Multiplicity Spring Issue

I have to say that I love to write. I remember writing short stories and novellas when I was a kid. I even tried my hand at poetry and music. Of course, I never imagined that anyone would want to read my writing, let alone publish it. I’m thrilled to be featured twice in the […]

We’re 15 months old!

15 months! It gets more and more obvious that the girls are moving away from babyhood and into toddlerdom. Raegan is pretty much ready to pack a bag and move out. She’s thisclose to walking and I expect by next month’s update, she will be trotting along. For now, she’s pulling up and cruising at […]

Thank you for our year home

Saturday,  March 28th we celebrated the girls’ one year home with a pink and gold filled party attended by friends and family. Then, yesterday, we celebrated the staff at the hospital who made it possible for our girls to come home. Before the girls were even born there were people who took care of them, […]

Cerebral Palsy isn’t just a diagnosis, it’s part of our life

March is Cerebral Palsy awareness month and today, March 25th, marks National Cerebral Palsy Awareness Day. It also happens to be the first one since Ella’s diagnosis in January. There’s a lot of things I could tell you about CP; it’s caused by an injury to the brain, most often at birth, and does not […]

Oh is it March 20th? I hadn’t noticed

For most parents, there’s one special day that stands out; the day their baby was born. Maybe the due date is remembered, but rarely acknowledged beyond the parents reminiscing. For preemie parents, there’s usually three important days; the day their baby should have been born, the day they were born, and the day they came […]

The sun will come out tomorrow

This week, a truly magical thing happened – the clouds parted and the sun came out. It was orange, warm, and much needed.  People started smiling to each other as they had their first taste of spring. It really couldn’t have come at a better time. Not only are we all just sick to death […]

An open letter to my babies who refuse to sleep

Dear babies, It’s your Mama. You hopefully know me as the person who feeds you, changes you, bathes you, sings to you, cuddles you, and most importantly,  loves you. You may also know me as the sleep drunk woman in pyjamas with a zombie face staggering into your room several times a night in response […]

Expansion and big things coming!

I originally started Adventures With Multiples when I went inpatient while pregnant with the girls. It seemed like an easy way to share information with lots of people at once as well as work through my feelings in the best way I know how – writing. Since then, I’ve written for other blogs and now […]
