To Love So Much It Hurts

This blog is dedicated to my oldest baby Rhylan! I never knew that it was possible to love someone so much it hurts! He makes Michael and I so proud every single day. We just know that he will be an incredible big brother and love having playmates! He asked for a sibling and was blessed with TWO! 

 For Easter, he received a bike from his grandparents and he couldn't wait to take off! He was so determined and his eyes lit up with excitement. I just can't wait for him to teach his siblings all that he knows about being a kid. 

It seems like he has grown so much lately that it's crazy! Age three has been an absolute whirlwind so far! He is speaking in full sentences now, doesn't miss a thing and will point out shapes and colors everywhere we go. Now that the weather is nice, he can't wait to get outside and we have to drag him in when the sun goes down. 

 His favorite bedtime story is The Very Hungry Caterpillar and I look forward to our nightly cuddle sessions while reading the story that he has memorized! Sometimes we have to read it 3 or 4 times before he goes to sleep. We will soon have bedtime stories plus two! 

 This blog may be cheesy, but I just can't imagine how much love will be in our home when we add two more little ones. Yes I know that it will have it's ups and downs, which people clearly love to point out, but I love working to give our kids the best life possible. And we raised a pretty good kiddo the first time, so God thought we needed two more! They always come first! It's hard to imagine what our life was like before kids and we wouldn't have it any other way.

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...
