My Twin Baby Registry “Do’s and Don’ts”

Ah, baby registries. The #1 way I spent my spare time in the early days of pregnancy.

My New Mom “Must Binge” List(s)

Let me preface this whole thing by saying: this is not something I take pride in and I don't know why I'm writing this. I was born in 1991, putting me right in the middle of Millennial territory and because of that I have a need to be entertained at all moments of my existence. …

“Yes, they’re twins” and other FAQs

As a twin mom (and I'm sure other moms of multiples can attest to this) I get asked a LOT of questions. I get asked questions by friends, family and complete strangers every single place I go. It took a minute to get used to the fact that not only would every trip I make …

Formula Feeding Twins: A story about lighting our bank account on fire

I started out the month with the great/horrible idea that I would keep all of our receipts and calculate what it costs to formula feed 10 month old twins for one month. Did I do this because I wanted to cause myself an anxiety attack? Well that might not have been the goal but my …

How To: Avoid The “Mombie”

This week hasn't been the best. And by this week I mostly mean since about 4 months ago until now, hasn't been the best - at least sleep wise. We haven't gotten a full night's sleep in a WHILE and let me tell you, it is taxing. To be firing on fumes everyday is rough …

Twins Made Me Better

I don't think I knew I would ever write that, because a lot of days I honestly don't feel that way. I'm very quick to be hard on myself but that's a personal issue that I'll deal with later, probably. The day we found out I was pregnant, my world shifted. Then we found out …

In Pursuit of a Quiet Mind

To start off with, I've always been a person that I myself would describe as an "over-thinker". I've had periods of my life that have been riddled with anxiety, low points, high points and throughout I can say that I've never had a shortage of over-analysis. I'm positive that I'm not alone in feeling that …

What I Know 10 Months In

I can assume that for anyone reading the title of today's blog post you're thinking - ok, this is where we get the good stuff. The mom knowledge. The "having babies 4-1-1". And you would be right. Because I'm 10 months in (a length of time that absolutely no one would classify as significant and …

One Mom’s Google Addiction

Once I got pregnant and honestly way before...basically since the day I could ask the internet questions and get answers I googled EV.ER.Y.THING.
