It's Day One....

.....of being a career mom. I always knew without a doubt that I'd be returning to work. Part of me wishes that we could afford for me to stay home with my kids, but the other part enjoys working and adult interaction. I feel like I worked really hard to earn my degree to go into marketing, plus I have a job that I enjoy with wonderful co-workers. Not everyone is that lucky!

 I'm very proud that I've made it through my first day without any tears and it actually feels really good to be working again. I am able to go home on my lunch break to snuggle and feed the babies, which is definitely helpful. I couldn't wait to pick them up when I got home! Forget lunch! I just want my babies! I'm enjoying getting myself back into a routine as well. I feel like when I'm not working, I forget to maintain my planner, my checkbook balance, menu planning, etc. I didn't realize how much of a structure is incorporated into my every day life just by going to work. 

 Every minute, my kids are on my mind. I also remind myself why I'm doing this.....to give them the absolute best life possible. We have so many goals and things to save for including our trip to Disney in 2016! Michael and I are truly blessed to be able to give our kids the best life! We work hard for them each and every day! And coming home to those baby blue eyes and beautiful smiles make everything so worth it.

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...
