I finally put some of those frozen bananas to use in my banana bread! 😆 Who else has a freezer full of brown bananas? Can’t just be me.

Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t mak Honestly I can’t believe a band tee didn’t make it into this mix. 🎶🤘🏻 But there’s a @drpepper t-shirt so that’s even better! I’ve been having so much fun lately remixing things I’ve had for years along with a few new pieces! 

Thrifting and finding a super good clearance deal = my favorite! I’m not really sure what my style is these days.. but I’m having fun playing around with it and feeling a little more like ME in what I’m wearing. Warped Tour heart, coffee shop soul vibes? ✨😆

I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, I think sometime between becoming a mom, working, keeping up with a house, and trying to take care of everyone else… I forgot to ask myself what I actually like.

So lately I’ve been paying attention.

The clothes I want to wear.

The hobbies I want to try.

The spaces I want to create.

The things that make me feel like myself.

Maybe this is exactly what your late 30s are for. Not becoming someone new.. but remembering who you are.✨

My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday My littlest boys are 4️⃣!! Their only birthday demand was that we get them a Sonic the hedgehog cake! 😆 

I still just sit and stare at them in disbelief sometimes.. my twin babies.. my last babies.. and somehow they’ve been here for 4 whole years. If you’re a twin mom, you know that the time passes different. The early stages are a blur in a way I don’t even know how to explain. It makes it all a bit more bittersweet.

I love you Bennett & Everett! 💙💙

Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was Universal was a blast. I hadn’t been since I was a teenager and I only vaguely remembered a ride or two! There was so much to do for the littlest brothers and aside from being HOT, it was perfect. 

Everett was big mad at us for taking him on the SpiderMan ride and did not trust our judgement the rest of the time. 🤣 He LOVED the 1 Fish 2 Fish ride and wanted to ride that all day. 

Bennett on the other hand was all about the thrills and the Trollercoaster was his favorite. He said it was “Torrifying” but he made us all ride it with him multiple times.

I rode Velocicoaster with Nate, Landon, and Maile. And while I would do it again - for a moment I did think I might die. I only did that once. 🤣 Nate and Landon rode it multiple times. Hagrid’s was more my speed and Cohen agrees with me! 

I am a Disney girl at heart! But Disney doesn’t have a *real life* baby dinosaur that you can pet sooo there’s some competition. 😆

Oh, Change.


Circa March 2007

I started to look through my Flickr today. I’ve had the same account since 2007 and it’s amazing to see how much I have changed in just a few short years. Just take a look at this picture!


December 2007

And, I’m not just talking about my hair. I can see it in my face. It’s just strange!

I still fit in these jeans- so I guess that’s a good sign. However, I remember them being comfortable in that picture- with no stomach pooching over. And now? I kind of have to step in them, jump up and down a lot, and then suck in real hard while using all my might to button them. Then, I wear a poofy non-conforming shirt. LOL- and that might be why I overheard someone at work discussing whether or not I LOOK PREGNANT. *shakes fist* And don’t get me wrong- I’m well aware that I am not fat. If you start yelling at me about this I’ll punch you in the face (in my mind). It’s just the change from a tiny little unshapely teenage body into a more womanly “curvy” body (but I’m not unhappy that my boobs have grown, mind you). It’s just different and I have sort of a love/hate relationship with all of it. And when I have babies I will look back nostalgically at pictures of my current body.. what a vicious cycle. =)

    Yeah, it is interesting how we change from years to years but I think sometimes become more accepting of our bodies as we grow up. I know I was a lot thinner in 2005…but I’m more accepting of my body as is now…

    Anyway, you always look adorable to me!

    oh stephanie! i can relate. i went through that "phase" in my 20s…but i kicked some butt and now i'm in better shape than ever and i'm almost 35. btw, you are tiny and perfect and beautiful, so don't even worry about the jeans thing! 😉 and if you do- there is nothing wrong with keeping your core strong and stable- i love pilates and yoga because it keeps me strong and balanced. if you plan on having babies in the future i recommend it because of all the lifting you will be doing and you do NOT want to throw out your back. the *bonus* will be a flat tummy.
