Everyday Motions

I hardly blog anymore! That's probably a good thing as it means that I have much more important things to be focusing on. However, I've come to the realization lately that life is in hyper speed and I don't want to forget things. I definitely want to make just a little more time to document my thoughts, experiences and feelings. 

We've been told what feels like thousands of times how fast life will fly by once we have kids. I can truly attest to this! Throw twins into the mix and (WHOA) it just goes even faster. My days consist of getting up before the sun, getting myself ready quickly, taking a few sips of coffee while trying to somehow mimic the energy that my four year old has first thing in the morning, changing and feeding our babies, loading/unloading the dishwasher, feeding the dog, trying to squeeze in some laundry, kiss my kiddos and out the door I go to head to work. I feel like my work day flies and before I know it, it's back home I go! Supper on the stove, laundry from the morning, entertaining the kiddos, feeding and changing babies, bills, cleaning, laundry, laundry, picking up toys, begging my four year old to pick up some toys, laundry, holding my babies until I hit the pillow! And guess what, I LOVE IT! Did I mention that I can juggle? That's right juggle! You get the idea! 

It's hard to believe my babies are approaching the six month mark and I'm also looking at preschools. I feel like the baby stage with my firstborn seemed to feel like it lasted longer. When you're caring for two at once, it really does fly. Where is the time going? Now if we could just get some spring time temperatures!

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...
