Nate snuck this picture of us on Sunday evening be Nate snuck this picture of us on Sunday evening before the preterm labor madness began the very next night. I love it. All four of my boys in one photo.šŸ’™ 

I really thought that the next time I sat down on this couch I would be recovering from a c-section with my babies still at the hospital in the NICU. I’m so thankful to be able to let them grow and get stronger for a little while longer, however long that may be, and to be able to be at home for now.

I appreciate all of your prayers and sweet words of encouragement. šŸ’•
33 + 2 šŸ’™ Preterm labor with the twins. A lot of 33 + 2 šŸ’™ Preterm labor with the twins. A lot of scary stuff, a lot of pain, a lot of what the hell is going on. But we are hanging in there and I distracted myself by putting on some makeup today to feel a little more human. I haven’t even walked since late Monday night and I’m feelin’ all sorts of horrible. But our village has surrounded us in all the ways we’ve needed and I’m so thankful. šŸ’™ As usual, we are coping with humor so at least there’s laughter in this hospital room.
Feeling extra, extra thankful this year for what a Feeling extra, extra thankful this year for what a great Dad this man is to our boys! He is definitely the fun parent! The one who plays the most, the one who books the trips where we make all of the memories, the one who makes time for them even when he’s exhausted and running on no sleep. And on top of it all, he’s been taking care of me and doing my share of the parenting when he can. I can’t wait to see him with all four of our boys, so soon! šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™šŸ’™
I’m sorry, CAN YOU EVEN? šŸ˜ Look at those chee I’m sorry, CAN YOU EVEN? šŸ˜ Look at those cheeks and lips! All together, I am carrying around 9 lbs 10 oz of baby right now, friends. They are almost identical in size, both have tons of hair, are moving like crazy, and baby A is still breech. So send thoughts and prayers that he will flip back to being head down! 32 weeks feels so close to the end and yet so far. #32weekspregnant #pregnantwithtwins #twinpregnancy
Feeling so thankful today for 12 years of marriage Feeling so thankful today for 12 years of marriage to my soulmate. I wouldn’t want to live this life alongside anyone else. It doesn’t mean it’s always easy, but it *is* easy to focus on all of the good parts with you. šŸ’•šŸ’ I love you, Nate!!
All of the cuddles for this tired mama. 🄰 I’l All of the cuddles for this tired mama. 🄰 I’ll never know how I got this lucky.  It’s pretty surreal to be cuddling one sweet boy and watching my other little one play, all while getting served kicks and punches by two more! ✨
Happy June 1st! ✨ I was looking through old phot Happy June 1st! ✨ I was looking through old photos and came across this one. It was my birthday. I was 4 months postpartum and starting to feel like myself again. We were getting ready to move into our beautiful new home. 

The person in this photo could’ve never imagined the pandemic ahead, the stress of Landon starting kindergarten virtually, trying to keep it together/focus on work, Nate’s stressful job and paramedic class, family illness, etc etc. 

I was pretty sure we were done having babies. I never imagined the whirlwind of finding out we were expecting.. and then experiencing that loss… only to find out our rainbow BABIES (x2) are on the way. And now, it’s *almost* time to meet them! 

It feels like such a transition period right now. There’s so much to look forward to but there are also just so many things going on that feel heavy and difficult. The world is full of chaos and it feels harder and harder to protect my children in it. I’m tired and anxious. My patience is thin. I don’t always feel like a ā€œfun momā€ (or wife) right now. But I’m also just so thankful to be here - married to a wonderful man, building this crazy life together, trying my best to do it all with a happy heart at 30 weeks pregnant. šŸ˜…

I’m so ready to snuggle my twin babies and see them together with their brothers, to get into a routine, to lay on a blanket in the backyard with all of them during a cookout with friends, to start having date nights again with Nate, to go on walks downtown again… to feel like myself again.. just like we did on this day. šŸ’“
Last day as a First Grader!!! 🄳 So proud of my Last day as a First Grader!!! 🄳 So proud of my smart, resilient, and kind little boy. Looking forward to a summer of fun with my boys!
Sometimes you just have to laugh through the stuff Sometimes you just have to laugh through the stuff that feels difficult in the moment. Like trying to get your feet up high enough on pillows so they’ll stop swelling (because you’ve been sitting at a computer all day) while simultaneously realizing you’re now stuck on your back like a turtle. When I opened my camera and saw looking this looking back at me I literally LOL’d at the sight. #pregnantwithtwins #iamletired

Home Improvements to Do in the Spring

This blog post may contain affiliate links. Learn more.

Spring is here! I am excited to share some thoughts from Alex of The Berger Bungalow on the perfect home improvement ideas for this time of year!

The flowers are blooming, the weather is starting to warm up, and more people are starting to get out and about, which means that more people are looking at your home. It is the perfect time for all things related to home improvements to do in the spring! If you are selling, this is the time to do so, but if not, I think that it is still so much fun to work on your home during the spring months.

For us, specifically, we are selling our home within the next 2 or so years (at most), so we have a pretty set to-do list, which includes painting our kitchen cabinets, adding in new countertops, replacing some wood, adding in new windows, and changing out flooring. Here are some other things that you may want to consider when doing home improvements in the spring:

Roof inspection

Speaking of leaks, one way that you can prevent them is by having your roof inspected, repaired, and replaced when needed. While we were having our gutters cleaned, the contractor gave us a heads up that a few of our shingles need to be replaced and the pipes on the top of our house need to be re-sealed and/or replaced very soon. If you also need to get a roof inspection done, or if you already know that your roof needs work, Greater American Roofing is a Louisville KY commercial roofing company that installs beautifully crafted roofs that are second-to-none. Greater American Roofing provides one-of-a-kind, platinum quality service by assisting their customers every step of the way. They offer free inspections, design consultations and they even have an on-site executive team making sure that all goes well while installing the luxury roofing system. They focus on the highest quality for the most efficient cost, while still providing an excellent solution to any roofing need. Greater American Roofing provides system warranties that are backed by their manufacturer for up to 50 years. Other contractors do not offer this, but Greater American Roofing does because they are a GAF certified contractor, who only uses in-house crews that are trained and certified, as well. Being GAF certified is a huge deal! So, if you need your roof inspected, repaired or replaced, do not hesitate to reach out to this veteran owned & operated company because they do things the right way – the first time, while offering amazing customer service.

Think about your windows

Replacing or re-sealing your windows can be a huge upgrade for the hot weather months coming our way very, very soon. A few of our windows definitely need to be checked and cleaned according to castle keepers maid service from Georgia. How do we know? Condensation is forming on the inside of the window. This means that the seal is definitely broken. So, what we need to do is schedule an inspection and then figure out if we need to completely replace the window(s), or if we are able to just re-seal the windows (pop over to these guys). Ideally, I would love to be able to re-seal them because it will save us a lot of money, but we will see what they say! Thinking about your windows is a great home improvement to make any time of the year, but especially during the spring, so that you do not let in too much hot air, resulting in higher electric bills (and more sweat, too!).

There are so many home improvements to do in the spring and while this list just covers a few of my favorite to-dos, when you get creative and do a few upgrades here and there, it can completely refresh the inside and outside of your home, making it fresh for the spring and summer months ahead of us.

Thank you so much to Stephanie for allowing me to be a guest poster today! You can always find my other posts at my blog, The Berger Bungalow. I post about travel, lower-toxin living, and other fun lifestyle topics.
