Amazing Ella, that should be her full name, though I am quite partial to Ella Noël. Honestly, she is amazing. This is a girl who fought hard for her life when she was smaller than a football. A girl who has spent the first year of her life at appointment after appointment. A girl who […]
Sometimes I forget exactly what our time in the NICU was like. The specifics and all the challenges we had. It felt like it went on forever while the girls were there, but now it seems the time flew by. When I sat down to write our NICU story for Twiniversity, I thought about each […]
I’ve written about my jelly belly several times since the girls have been born. I wish I was one of those women who was like; “Oh! All I did to lose the baby weight and fit into my size zero jeans was breastfeeding. Breastfeeding is the best diet ever!” However, simply put, I am not. […]
Given that it’s 2015, I’m still pretty amazed about the assumptions we make on a daily basis; gender identity, sexual orientation, marital status, even the amount of money we have. But, I really don’t know why we’re still assuming other people’s religious and spiritual beliefs. I don’t think we can say that North America is […]

Now, don’t get me wrong, I am the most Christmassy person there is. I look forward to it every year and do my best to make it special. But, man it’s exhausting. People without kids can at least get a couple of days to recover; sleep, binge watch Netflix, while us parents March into January […]
In only a few hours it will officially be a new year. Some who had a year like ours may say good riddance to 2014, but this year, though filled with many challenges, brought me two sweet baby girls. Everyone keeps sharing their years on Facebook and I watched mine to see the random pictures […]
Well if the babies aren’t exhausted from their first Christmas, I sure am. Probably why it’s taken me almost a week to write about it! Since my family has four birthdays in December plus Christmas, the celebrations last almost all month. We visited the 12 decorated Christmas trees at the Gardner Museum, went to the […]
‘Twas the night before Christmas and this mama reflected This time last year, Christmas felt quite neglected. As we trudged through the city looking for lodging, The ice storm we were constantly dodging. To the hospital we went on Christmas morning For the babies’ daily monitoring. Mama filled with wonder when they would make their […]
I would guess that most parents take “normal” baby things for granted. It’s expected that your baby will not only meet developmental milestones, but will exceed at them and every parent hopes that their baby is the first to do everything. Raegan is surpassing her brother’s milestones and is closer in development to her actual […]
