Everett the marshmallow sleep suit baby agrees. They have made a pact to scream in unison for as long as it takes to get their point across. Twins vs Mom: two-nil.

In a moment of desperation, I scooped Bennett up w In a moment of desperation, I scooped Bennett up while I was nursing Everett and managed to tandem nurse them. I haven’t enjoyed tandem nursing so I haven’t forced myself to do it. I enjoy the one on one time with them anyway. But they’re starting to notice more and more that the other one is eating while they wait their turn. And today I found that at 6 months old it’s a lot easier to nurse them at the same time. They can sit up a bit, I don’t have to use a feeding pillow or roll up blankets to put under their heads. It was actually really peaceful. They both fell asleep snuggled on me and that doesn’t really happen usually because I typically hold one at a time.🄹

So maybe this will be a new thing for us now. I am proud of myself because I haven’t paid much attention to what I *should* be doing. I just do whatever works for us. šŸ’•
My @tubbytodd order arrived today! A friend (yay @ My @tubbytodd order arrived today! A friend (yay @amandariley_10!) porch dropped some All Over Ointment for us because Bennett’s eczema on his face was out of control. Swipe to see what he woke up with over night vs one day of using Tubby Todd vs several days. I did put a little bit of the hydrocortisone cream on it that my pediatrician prescribed on the first day, but that legit never does anything hardly. So I know this is really working! I’m so excited to use the body wash on the kids as well and I may keep the Suds Stick for myself because Coconut & Sea Salt sounds heavenly. If you suffer from eczema - you NEED this!
I didn’t manage to take an official *6 Month* ph I didn’t manage to take an official *6 Month* photo today but here is one of Everett and Bennett playing on their mat during tummy time earlier! Everett is battling an ear infection and Bennett got his first two bottom teeth a few days ago - so there’s lots of fussiness over here! Bennett is still sleeping through the night 100% from 7ish PM to 8 AM! Meanwhile, Everett has been waking up every 1-2 hours the past few nights to nurse. 🄓

I can’t believe they’re already six months old! It’s so much fun to see their personalities shining through. Everett needs lots of cuddles and really likes sitting in the sit me up seat to play with toys. Bennett can be content to swing or chill on the twin z pillow for a lot longer and he loves pat-a-cake. They both love all the attention they get from Landon and Cohen! It’s hard to remember life without them. I’m so blessed to be their momma. šŸ’• #twinmom #momoftwins #boymom

Tribe Athlete – Training Like a Professional Aerialist

This blog post may contain affiliate links. Learn more.

Working out never worked for me until I found aerial silks. I took one class 4 years ago and fell completely in love. Since then I’ve accomplished a lot. It took me MONTHS just to climb up the silk. These days I’m so critical of myself but I try really hard to remember where I started. It’s easy to compare myself to others who have come in long after me but are now far more skilled. The journey is so different for all of us though and that is what I have to remind myself of often. I don’t have a background in dance or gymnastics. I am also a 30-year-old full-time working wife and mom who birthed a child during the 4 years that I am speaking of, so ya know, I suppose I’ve been a little busy.

Setting goals has been really important for me in every aspect of my life. If I don’t set goals for myself I tend to look up a year later and have no idea where I’ve made progress. Being held accountable is one of the best ways for me to stay on track. In January we started a 6-week challenge at Sora Aerial Arts where we had a list of tribes (small groups) to choose from that focused on different areas we might want to improve. I chose Tribe Athlete because I wanted to learn to train like a professional aerialist. You can read about all of the different tribes and the cost details here. PS: You totally get half of the cost back when you complete the challenge! I’m sharing these details in case we have another challenge – you’ll be prepared and ready to join!

We had our first meeting to go over the details of the challenge with our tribe leader, Jessica. She created goal sheets for us to fill out and helped us create actionable steps to work toward our goals. We were also given a detailed list of things that we needed to do each week – aerial training, cross training, PT, etc. She sent us videos showing us exactly how to do everything so if I could not make it to the gym, we could easily follow along at home. This is HUGE for me because my schedule is so crazy right now and I can’t always physically get to the gym. We’ve been staying accountable through a facebook group just for our tribe where we are sharing our classes, training at home, healthy meals we are eating, etc. We just had our second meeting last Friday to go over where we are at and to review our plans for our next performance! On Saturday, we are having a celebration out at the Summit at Fritz Farm for the participants!

Overall, I feel like this has been great for me. I have worked as hard as I can around my schedule and I have seen progress toward my goals! I still have a lot to improve on, but I feel like I’ve created a firm foundation to move forward. Cross training is key and I can see a huge difference since I’ve made that a priority. I used to want to cram in the aerial classes, but taking the time to take Ballet and other classes that help me focus on how my body moves have been very beneficial!

Thank you to Jessica Jay Johnson and Sora Aerial Arts for pushing me to be the best aerialist I can be. šŸ™‚
