Baby-wearing is my not so secret weapon for soothi Baby-wearing is my not so secret weapon for soothing a sad baby. Everett is teething and no amount of nursing, holding, or rocking was cutting it. But the carrier calmed him right down. And I was able to get a few things done.. even though it was 11pm and I did not want to be doing things. 🙃 #teething #teethingbaby #boymom #twinmom #twinmomlife
These sweet boys turned 8 months old yesterday! I These sweet boys turned 8 months old yesterday! I can hardly believe it. We have been through so much over the past 8 months. I was trying to post this last night but I kept falling asleep. 😆 I was going to talk about #internationalwomensday and how it was fitting (for me) to celebrate 8 whole months of being a mom to FOUR boys! But it feels even more fitting that I fell asleep trying to post it. 

I feel so thankful. So thankful I am blessed to be a mom to my 4 tiny humans. Blessed to spend my time being their mom and resting when I need to without guilt. And blessed to be surrounded by so many amazing women who genuinely love me/my family and have run to my side when I’ve needed help, sleep, friendship, encouragement, and everything in between. 

Everett & Bennett are the most perfect additions to our family. I never could’ve dreamed up these sweet squishy babies. I am so grateful for 8 months with these beautiful boys. They’re getting so big - working on crawling and sitting up. Their big brothers are absolutely obsessed with them. They love baby food, chewing on toys, and bouncing in their bouncy seat. Bennett still has two teeth while Everett has none. We are still going strong with nursing- despite being bitten. 😆🥴 Happy 8 months, boys!! I love you!

Celebrating My Firefighter! Graduation Day!

Las Vegas Trip July 2017
I can’t believe I finally get to say this BUT – I am officially married to a Lexington Firefighter! This past year has felt like an eternity and has also gone by in a total blur. I do not feel like we’ve truly relaxed a single day since this process began. The application and interviewing process alone took months. I just can’t believe finals are complete and graduation is finally here!

It is a whirlwind of emotions. This may not have been MY personal journey but the stress of it all most certainly took a toll on our everyday lives. Up until this past Tuesday, Nate woke up every single day with the realization that anything could happen and all of this could have been for nothing. And I didn’t really know how to support that. It’s hard to tell someone that you understand how they’re feeling when you know that you really don’t. I never doubted clothing for kids trendy for one second that he would make it through to the end. I just knew how hard he was working and studying. Every moment was consumed by preparing for tests, quizzes, drills, etc. He has been eating, breathing, and sleeping this stuff.

So today I get to watch Nate and all of his classmates walk across a stage and graduate. I have had the pleasure of meeting some of them and getting to know their families just a bit. They are all wonderful people! I barely know them but I feel like we have all been in this together. I can see why it is said that in this profession it feels like you have a second family. I can only imagine how much more I’ll learn about that feeling as Nate begins working!

Nate – I am so proud of you! You put it all on the line for this job and now you are on the other side of it looking back at all you have accomplished. I have been stressed for you and anxious for you – but I have never once felt doubt, ever. I have been at peace about the outcome since the day you applied. I have probably been annoyingly optimistic. 😀 But when you know, you know. And I knew this was your path without a doubt. Landon and I are so thankful for you and all that you do for our family. We are just so proud of you! We love you so much!
