14 LONG Days

14 Days! That's what stands between us and finding out what our babies are! I am seriously so anxious to know for sure what's going on in there. There's so much to do and I'm already half way through this pregnancy. I wish there was a little window where I could just take a peek for myself. 

I'm ready to start shopping for these little ones and stocking up on necessities, plus the nursery! I can't choose a theme and decor until I know what I'm having. I seriously don't know how people did it back when you didn't know what you were having! I'm such a planner and organizer, that I have to know! 

 It doesn't help that we are literally seeing twins everywhere! Okay not everywhere, but I definitely notice them a lot more. It's just like when you buy a new car and then all of a sudden, you notice that same car everywhere. We saw so many sets of twins this weekend at a festival. There was even a section of the parade for families with multiples! I also ended up sitting next to a lady who was a twin. It was definitely ironic.

In 14 Days, it's on! Baby prep will be taking off in full swing! After those 14 days, time can just slow down, because I am going to need a lot of time to get my family ready for the arrival of our little ones. My pregnancy goal is to make it to 38 weeks! So far, everything is going perfectly. I'm right on track for a healthy and full twin pregnancy!

What I Learned from Frugal January

While I don't believe in new year resolutions, I do believe in goals, aspirations and dreams. As a society, we're made to feel that with each new year, we must make resolutions, which more often than not, fade by March or set us up for failure. The feeling of failure is never good for the spirit, so a couple of years ago, I decided to stop giving in to that societal pressure. I have found that self-reflection is an excellent place to begin a new year and set realistic goals. This year, I started by challenging myself to what I named Frugal January. It's exactly what it sounds like. I challenged myself to only spend on necessities. I gave up runs to the coffee shop and trips to TJ Maxx. I gave up frivolous, careless and impulse-based spending, no matter how big or small it was. I asked myself one question with every single purchase decision, "do I really need this?" If I could live without it, I declined it. Did this cause me physical pain at times? Yes! There were...

2023 Taking Care of Me

For me, 2023 has been a year of conquering fears and making lifestyle changes. As parents, how often do we place ourselves on the back burner? It's so common and I am 100% guilty of it. This year, something inside of me clicked. Maybe it's the whole "wisdom with age" thing. Maybe it's finally getting the courage to go to therapy. Perhaps, it's a little bit of both. For me, it happened with a 3-step plan. It's a plan that terrified me, but I held myself accountable and put the plan into action.  Step 1: Medical Health January 2023, the 4th to be exact, started with a wellness visit to my primary care doctor. Was I even allowed to refer to her as that when I hadn't paid her a visit since 2018? Yes. 2018. Of course, we had the whole pandemic thing in the mix, but we can only use that excuse for so long. I hadn't had a women's well check since 2018. I was having all kinds of strange symptoms, that I told myself was just the downward spiral to 40 (n...
