I just don’t think anyone other than my husband and my teenage step-daughter fully understand what our insane reality is really like. Many of our friends get a small taste but I just don’...
I obviously get tattooed to honor the birth of my babies. I’m waiting until I stop the breast-feeding to get two traditional eagles holding name banners under my collar bones. “Lucky &...
Awhile back I wrote a post dedicated to my beautiful Mom friends and Yulady was a featured Momma in my post. Click here to read that post. We met at a yoga teacher training at Strala in 2010. Yulady ...
I first want to apologize if I have ever asked you this question. It’s none of my damn business. I have asked this question before in hopes of expanding my parenting posse. My intentions are al...
I know I’m a day late but my week was crazy. Here are a few shots from our day in the park on Mother’s day. A big huge Happy Mothers Day to all of you amazing mommies out there. Go hug yo...
Mealtime in our house is chaos. You can’t even begin to understand the level of mayhem unless you are lucky enough (I mean unlucky enough) to have joined us for a meal. Yesterday we went to din...
CLICK HERE FOR AIDAN’S STORY RIP Aidan 7/21/04 – 4/29/12 My heart goes out to his family and friends. I can’t even begin to understand the depth of their loss. My heart is heavy wi...
Okay I know I’m thin but it still sucks when none of your pre-pregnancy clothes fit you 10 months post partum. I carry all my extra baggage in my fluffy muffin top and thighs. As the mother to ...
Oh Birdie! I came across an article today in the New York Times blog about broken legs and going down the slide with a toddler on your lap. Well this genius mom thought it would be a good idea to put...
My two oldest girls are the best big sisters in the world. It took a little time, extra love, and attention for them to want to be big sisters but here they are now amazing me with their big sister s...
I am so grateful that the weather is nice enough now and I can leave my house. It’s a bit strange being inside for so many months after the twin boys were born. I’m just gaining the confi...
AHH look at Rocky’s chicken legs! I’ve been very nostalgic after Mia’s tooth fell out the other day and can’t help but think about how damn big my twin boys are alread...
Mia lost her first tooth this morning and I’m mixed with emotions. I was excited because Mia was beyond thrilled and super happy that she was such a big girl. She knows that her little sister...
My 3-year-old “twin A” Miss Birdie, isn’t really into Barbies. She prefers to play with my birthing Aztec goddess. Figures she’s a weirdo like her momma. I love it!
Oh the name game. I loved skimming through name books and searching online to spark some ideas for naming my babies. Some people know what they are naming their little bundle way before they even g...
Man I just love when I get that crazy warm happy feeling while nursing my babies. These feelings are augmented by the release of hormones such as prolactin, which produces a peaceful, nurturing sens...
Okay so you’re blissfully pregnant and perhaps unaware of some of the shocking things that may happen to your body. I’m someone who truly loves being pregnant and feels that it’s a...
When ever I feel upset, pissed off, angry, confused, or just out of control with negative emotions my kids bring me back down to earth. Just a little smile or hug from one of my sunshine trolls make...
Having a large family with lots of kids is really awesome. When 5 out of the 6 kids get sick it blows big time. It’s very far from being awesome. We are on day 12 of at least one of the kids...
Holy crap it’s been 3 years already? I can’t even begin to wrap my head around it. Happy birthday to my darling terrors. I love you ladies more than words can describe. You two have me ...
I guess it takes one to know one. I’m a total nerd and now my children are total goofball nerds. Mia the 6-year-old has my dance moves which some of you may know are amazingly nerdy. Think r...
Ahh…the newborn. Your baby (or babies) is finally here. All those final days of waiting for their grand arrival are all a blur now. Hormones are raging and you may be experiencing emotions t...
I sometimes want to squish the shit out of my kids because of their cuteness. Damn them for turning my cold black heart into a dripping pile of honey mush. I treasure these sweet moments because I ...
I sometimes wonder what being a twin is like. I watch Birdie & Hazel fight like crazy sometimes. They know exactly how to piss the other one off royally. I recently noticed that they are star...
My baby is 6 years old today. Miss Mia I love you so much. Thanks for being such a sweet spirited little soul. I’m so lucky to be your Momma. I still remember my first glance at your beauti...
Your test says positive or there are two pink lines. Congrats! Now what? If this is your first pregnancy you are either extremely shocked or very happy with your baby making efforts. Navigating the ...
In my house we often have what I call the twin tantrum. It’s two screaming and crying little monsters. Sometimes I get really lucky and my 6-year-old Mia will join in the fun. I have learned...
IMG_3783 One weekend away with her Grandpa and Hazel has the song memorized. Oh boy I’m so in for it.
The nuts have officially taken over the madhouse. I woke up yesterday to the girls putting on bathing suits and going out in the back yard to jump over piles of dog poop. We wrangled them back insi...
This is one of my favorite pictures of Dan holding Rocco in his fuzzy little bunny hat. Dan is hanging in his garage drinking canned beer holding a sweet sweet baby. These are the days of our lives...
