It’s been far too long since I’ve updated this site. Twin motherhood, working full-time, moving twice, and just life has made anything extra (like this blog) hard to keep up with! Something I never anticipated when becoming a mother was how intentional I HAD to be about things I used to do during down time.Continue reading “Pugs & Pushups without the Pugs or Pushups?”

Reflections of the last 6 months of motherhood
I dreamed of this for the last few years but I never knew what I would do once it happened. Would it even happen? Would I ever be able to be a mom? And if I did become a mom, would I be a good mom? Would I be able to provide for my kid(s)?Continue reading “Reflections of the last 6 months of motherhood”
10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Breastfeeding Twins.
I’ve told a few people that I would write about my breastfeeding journey and it’s taking forever because, well- twins! Let’s be clear, before the twins were born I decided that no matter what I was going to breastfeed. Now, I don’t want you to get the wrong idea here: a fed baby is whatContinue reading “10 Things I Wish I Knew Before Breastfeeding Twins.”
Sleep, eat, play, repeat…
Time flies way too fast! The twins are already 3 months old! How did this happen? The first two months sort of flew by with Pat and I in a daze. We were taking it day by day and really didn’t know what we were doing. This last month we began focusing on sleep –Continue reading “Sleep, eat, play, repeat…”
the thomas twins birth story
We arrived at the hospital a little after 5:30am on Thursday, March 1st, 2018. It was still dark out when we got there but I do remember it was a little chilly. We parked the car and walked in. At the front desk the security guard sent us right up to the 6th floor (the maternity floor) of the hospital where we checked in with our nurses and was brought right into the OR prep/recovery area. An IV catheter was placed and two or three nurses asked me many of the same questions – to say that I felt like I was being interrogated is an understatement, but they were all very nice.
Pugs, Push-ups, and infertility?
There’s no doubt that the things I like are pretty straightforward – fitness and animals are kind of my thing… but babies?? Growing up I never saw myself as a mother. I mean, sure I imagined being old and having children that were older taking care of me but I never thought about being pregnantContinue reading “Pugs, Push-ups, and infertility?”
GRIT, Sophie, and how I’ve been feeling lately
When I got her home she ran inside as if she knew we were home! She smelt my whole apartment and took an interest in my boy Charlie. Where he went, she went. Charlie is kind hearted and wouldn’t hurt a fly so he quickly took her under his wing. She slept comfortably on my couch next to me snuggled up to my leg, melting my heart with each and every deep breath that she took. She was comfortable, home, and it showed in her demeanor …

Today, Charlie, Miley and I went to the 3rd annual Puppy Up! fun dog walk in New Paltz, NY at the Adair Vineyards. The Puppy Up Foundation is dedicated to finding the links between canine and human cancers – through education, awareness, and investment in research, they are commited to finding these links as well as the causes of cancer for both human and canine patients alike….
Couples Workout!
They say that couples that workout together stay together! We used to workout together all of the time, but in the last few years we have “gone our separate ways” – he, towards body building, me, to crossfit and group fitness. Although we still workout together occasionally, this work out felt like old times! Yesterday,Continue reading “Couples Workout!”
