2019, week 1 in the books

have had to take a step back lately... i hit a new low in 2018. stress, hormones, winter, chaos of 3 kids, major career changes, anxiety, depression. everyone says twins are hard, what no one tells you about is the toll it all takes physically and mentally and hormonally. i…

They're All Grown Up

* caylin showers nightly on her own, picks out her own clothes, dresses herself, puts her dishes in the sink, packs her backpack, picks out her breakfast, can bring her sisters stuff (bottles, pacifiers, etc), plays with them in the mornings, reads to them, does all the things * the twins feed…

Months of Recaps

oh man. so many things have happened in the last few months. last post was caylin's 6th birthday. * the twins are loving daycare now. they come home completely exhausted, yes. but they love the people there. they're sick all the time, like every other week. but... it is what it…

10 Months

the twins turned 10 months old this weekend, and caylin is 5 and a half. it's hard to believe that so much time has passed already. they're not crawling yet, but there's a lot of rolling around and scooching. ella is a lot more mobile than zoey, for whatever reason.…
