One Month Postpartum – Life After the Twins Arrival

One Month Postpartum – Life After the Twins Arrival

Today is my actual due date; January 6, 2018; and instead of anticipating the twin’s arrival, tomorrow they will be one month old!

What a WHIRLWIND this past month has been. It feels like it flew by, yet I remember each night, feeling like that feeding would NEVER end. Nights and days all mesh into one, but maybe that’s only because you don’t get an actual night’s sleep to differentiate the two

The Birth Story of Harvey & Walter

The Birth Story of Harvey & Walter

I sit here at home, like every other Saturday morning, except it’s not like every other Saturday morning.  I have two adorable wee men swaddled up beside me making little grunting noises. I’ve just fed and changed them but it’s a race against time before they wake up for their next feeding.

There’s a million things I should be doing right now, but I really wanted to make a post about my birth story. It may have been long, not the way I imagined, or something I would even think I’d want to remember, but, it’s my story. And, it’s something I want to share and recall.

Even if you don’t consider yourself a morning person there are things you can do, or start to do, to build a healthy routine and start your day off on the right foot.

The first hour you are awake is what sets the tone for the rest of your day. If you can build a healthy daily morning routine you are more likely to have a successful, productive day, every day.

Unplugging

Unplugging

I’ve said it before, and I’m sure you have too. It would be so nice to unplug from your phone and social media every now and then. I honestly couldn’t tell you how many times a day I check my phone. The sad truth of the matter is; I’m doing it out of habit. Have you ever thought about it? I’m sure you are too!

A Christmas Thought

A Christmas Thought

We have so much to be thankful for, some people never will have the chance to enjoy Christmas lights, or have family to celebrate with. The holidays really are a humbling time for me. It’s easy to get caught up in the stress of the holidays and not often enough do people look back on all they have and things they should be thankful for.
