A New Perspective

Seven months old and SITTING! To some this may not seem to be all that exciting, but to any mom, it's a huge milestone! It's one of those things where you don't want to rush the baby stage, because it's so wonderful, but once they start sitting up, it becomes a whole new adventure. I love seeing them taking in the new perspective; no longer staring at the ceiling, but really taking their surroundings in. And of course, this opens up a whole new world of toys!I love that cute little wobble too; that cute little dance that they do while trying to maintain their balance. Thanks to the new carpet, which we installed just in time, we are spending a lot more time on the floor playing. Now that they are sitting up, they interact a lot more, converse and can watch their big brother with much amazement.

The next phase will be crawling, so at this point, everything can definitely slow down. We all know, that it's going to be a challenge chasing these two, but we are up for it. For now, I'm just enjoying every moment and every day and they are too. You can tell by their expressions that sitting up is a much better state than staring at the ceiling.

So so proud of these two little princesses!

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...
