There’s a lot of differences between typical parenting and special needs parenting. There’s lots of ups and downs and there’s a lot of things that as a parent, you need to accept. But, I think one of the most wonderful parts of being a special needs parent is finding the joy and excitement in everything, […]
Worth is a very subjective thing. Some people say the price of high fashion is insane, while others say the absolutely gorgeous pieces are worth every penny. But, self worth is even more elusive. It comes and goes based on how our relationships are, how work is, even how we look. What happens when you […]
I did it! Wait. Let me try again: I DID IT!!! I have officially finished my first ever 21 day fix. And although there were moments where I wanted to throw in the sweat soaked towel, I didn’t. I did the food plan. I used those teeny containers. (Like, wtf Autumn? We’re not squirrels.) I […]
Have you ever been in your car and looked over and the person next to you was crying? You don’t know why, and you don’t even know them, but you feel like you should do something? You offer a sympathetic smile or wave as you make eye contact before both of you driving off. Last […]
I’ve pretty much written about everything; my c section, breastfeeding, my battle with my weight, my fears for Ella. But I haven’t written much about my relationship. For so many reasons, I didn’t, and I really always felt like I was living a lie. And truth be told, I was. Everyone has assumed things about […]
18 months! We’re officially at the halfway point to two, which I cannot believe! In January, the girls’ ages will no longer be corrected. Right now, they’re about 15 and a half months corrected. Ella has improved SO much in such a short time. Our nanny is absolutely amazing and does all kinds of exercises […]
As you know, I’ve been struggling with my jelly belly since the girls were born, but you may not know that I’ve really struggled with my body since childhood. I was always a big kid, and often teased for it. For so long I’ve told myself that I’m just meant to be fat, but I […]
As I’ve written before, heading back to work has been a hard journey for all of us, and it seemed natural to write about it for my latest piece on Twiniversity. It feels great to be back among like-minded adults and to have conversations about things I am passionate about, but the simple truth is, […]
Life is funny. You make plans for the day, week, month and you just expect that things will go your way. Then sometimes something happens that completely derails you. Friday, I was at work when I got a phone call; Raegan was having trouble breathing. I left as fast as my legs would move and […]
The other night both girls were up and frantic, and after the third time of pacing with Raegan, I walked by my full-length mirror and snuck a peek. Seriously, my baby is gigantic. Let’s be real; Raegan will always be Itty Bitty to me, but seeing her, her body draped across mine, I realized, she’s […]
