I've been meaning to write this story down for a long time because I'm finding if I don't write it, I remember it much differently than it actually happened. I'm over here like 'when can we have another baby?' because although I remember pregnancy being a bitch and those first 4 months being hell, I … Continue reading 1 year down (almost).
Just when you thought I was gone
I'm BACK! I honestly don't even know where this month went. Life is FLYING by and I can't seem to get it to slow down. I started an Etsy shop - be sure to check it out (click here). Favorite it, like it on Facebook, share it everywhere and let me know what I can make … Continue reading Just when you thought I was gone
Happy 2017!
Happy New Year! It's a new year but the same ol' tired me over here. To say life has been busy would be an understatement. I'm notorious for taking on more than I can safely handle and once again, I found myself drowning a little bit. I ended up in the ER with a migraine … Continue reading Happy 2017!
11 Things You Should Reconsider Saying To A Twin Mom (or any mom at all) and What To Do Instead
There is no doubt that twins are the best but there is also no doubt that they are (more than) double the amount of work. The energy a new twin parent would normally use to politely smile at silly comments is gone and not returning until those babies are sleeping. So, I’m going to help … Continue reading 11 Things You Should Reconsider Saying To A Twin Mom (or any mom at all) and What To Do Instead
Hot Mess Cooking
People often ask me how I stay so fit when I have such a busy life. The answer is all organic everything and working out 5-6x/week. Just kidding, people ask me when I’m due and if it’s a boy or a girl. It takes them a second to realize what an ass they are when … Continue reading Hot Mess Cooking
5 Things Making Me A Better Mom Today (just for today)
It’s hard to believe that it’s almost been 8 months since my little angels made their grand entrance into this world. To say that it’s been a dramatically life-changing event would still be an understatement. Waking up rested, late nights with friends and free time are all mostly a thing of the past. It’s been … Continue reading 5 Things Making Me A Better Mom Today (just for today)
No More Baths Allowed
I have never considered myself superstitious. I never wore the same tshirts after my football teams won or, I guess I should say, burned the shirts I wore when my teams lost (#buffalobillsproblems). I never did the same exact thing before every swim meet and don't have any lucky item to bring me good days. … Continue reading No More Baths Allowed
“I can’t believe you’re a mom”(dude, I know)
"I can't believe you're a mom", I hear people say as they stare at the smiling monsters that I grew with my own body. They typically don't say it in the way you may be thinking; the type of way that with hearts in their eyes, they say it because they are in shock and … Continue reading “I can’t believe you’re a mom”(dude, I know)
#realpantsareforlosers
[Edit: a version of this can also be found on scarymommy here] I remember, right before the twins were born, reading an article on facebook about the pressure put on women to lose the baby weight at an extreme and unrealistic pace because of these assholes celebrities who come out of the hospital 3 sizes … Continue reading #realpantsareforlosers
Hormones? Maybe?
I didn’t forget about you, blog, I’m back. The past month has been a blur to say the least. Once Dec 1 hits, my teaching jobs slow down for the winter so I will have a little bit more time to breathe complain about my children. Let me just say though, as much as I … Continue reading Hormones? Maybe?
