The In-Between Phase

When you aren't big enough for maternity, but your clothes are getting tight! It's getting tough to pick out my outfits every day! I am super thankful for the belly bands that allow me to wear my jeans. But tops are a different story! I feel like it looks as if I'm eating my feelings and I feel constricted. I'm sure a lot of ladies can relate! My new maternity wardrobe is for the spring and summer seasons, so I need my regular clothes to hold out until the nice weather arrives. Which at this rate, who knows when that will be?! 

 While trying to get dressed yesterday morning, I started to get frustrated when Rhylan came in and said in his adorable three year old voice, "You look b-you-ful mommy." My heart melted once again! I just can't get enough of that handsome little boy and I'm so proud of him every day! It was just what I needed at that very moment to hold my head high and head to work! It's definitely been tee shirt and jeans kind of days though, which makes me very thankful for a workplace where I can pretty much dress with my mood. Though anyone who know's me, knows that tee shirt and jeans is not my style, so it must be a desperate situation! 

 I can remember struggling with this during my first pregnancy. I didn't really "pop" until five months with Rhylan, but I'm sure with twins, it will be much different! In the end, it just means that my babies are growing and for that I am so very thankful!

Snow Days....for Real

  Expectation Reality Screaming yelling and fighting by 8:30 a.m.  Mom chugging coffee.  Dad trying to have work calls while trying to pretend there isn't screaming in the background. Dog paw prints all over the floors.  Instant headache.  Thinking about having a good cry.  Kicking the kids outside.  Kid takes snowball to the face. More tears.  All of the deep breaths. Trying to maintain my work ethic.  Longing for spring and realizing it's very far away.  Wishing I was in my quiet office.  Setting a time to drink wine.

Dancing Around Your Thoughts

Today I looked in the mirror and thought "good grief my eyes look so tired today." It's one of those days where there's just not enough concealer and you need that second or third cup of coffee. Most of my blogs are typically silly and about rocking the mom life. Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love it and wouldn't change it for the world. But we are all human and there are just certain things that can start to eat at you when kept within. Sometimes when you hold your emotions in, because you literally can't let it out in front of your littles, it can make you feel like you are going to explode. It can make you freaking crazy. In those moments, I tend to take mine and channel them into a good sweat. But sometimes we just need to talk things out. One of the toughest aspects of my current stage of mom life is when you have something on your heart. Whether you are dealing with some crazy emotions, someone you care about has hurt your feelings, you've...

The Last Firsts

At this time last year, this day felt so far away! My girls are turning one in just two days! Some might say "We made it!" And while I'm so incredibly proud of not only myself and my husband for raising two precious baby girls at the same time, I'm also so proud of these two beauties and who they are becoming. This time last year I couldn't wait for them to arrive. I was miserably pregnant, hot and just ready for the next phase in our lives. Now I look back and think to myself, that was the last time that I would ever experience pregnancy. Everything that we've experienced over this last whirlwind of a year was for the last time. I remember leaving the maternity ward in a wheelchair with our new bundles in tow. I looked back and my eyes filled with tears, because having spent so much time there last year for testing, I got to know the nurses and I realized that I wouldn't be back.  Everyone told us how challenging this would be; that raising two babies w...
