Ok, so technically the girls are 16 months minus one day, but I am currently sitting in the airport waiting to board a flight to London, so wanted to make sure I got their update done before I left. Misses Ella and Raegan are both 19 pounds, 30 inches. It’s actually hard to believe they’re […]
Today marks the 70th anniversary of the Liberation of Holland. A day special to our family as my maternal grandfather fought for the liberation of Holland in World War two. This year also marks his 90th birthday, which means before the age of twenty, he was fighting to protect others that he had never met, […]
One of my friends and I have known each other since we were five, and we still joke that it feels like I’ve always had kids. Honestly, it sometimes is hard to remember life pre-kids. Like, what did I do with all my time?? It can be hard to find the time to do things […]
You know, I’m not sure if this gets said enough, but this parenting crap is hard. Like, really hard. This week has been rough. Transitioning Ella with the babysitter and seeing her so upset was brutal. I have to practically hold myself back from running to her and giving her giant smooches to feel better. […]
In preparation for my upcoming trip away and then my return to work, we started transitioning the girls with their babysitter so that when I do fly the coop, the girls won’t completely freak out. Except, it’s not exactly going as planned. Today, with Ella sitting on her lap and me right across from her, […]
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 […]
The great thing about having had Buds before the girls is that I had a pretty decent grip on motherhood before dealing with all the extra needs the girls have. The downside is that he was the most chill baby ever who slept consistently through the night and had the same nap schedule almost from […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
