As a twin mom, I've learned to smile at some of the common questions and comments that strangers say to us everywhere we go, including: "Wow, you've got your hands full!" "Do twins run in the family?" "Are they identical?" But the winning comment is usually "Oh wow, a boy ... Read more
Doc Band Helmet Journey with Before and After Photos
My daughter, Wren, graduated from her helmet a few months ago, but I've received several questions on Instagram about her and her helmet, so I figured I would put together a blog post about our Doc Band Helmet Journey with Before and After Photos and talk about how we went about getting a ...

Why I Gave Pacifiers to My Babies
This post has been sponsored by MAM Baby. All thoughts and opinions are my own. I'm sure I'm not the only mom who has ever stood at her baby's crib and wondered, "Is she breathing?"

My Twins’ Bath Time Routine
I didn't get to see the twins' first bath in the hospital because I took that rare bit of down time and took a much-needed nap while the nurses weighed and bathed them. And I didn't take photos of their first bath at home because, well, I had two newborn babies, I didn't know what I was doing, and I ... Read more

How to Take Great Photos of Your Newborn
I regret not taking more photos of the twins in the very early weeks after bringing them home from the hospital. Babies are only that tiny once; however, with two babies, I didn’t know what to do, it was just simply too hard to find the time, and someone was always crying. But 6 weeks later, I've ... Read more
Baby Box
I partnered with The Baby Box Co. for this post but all opinions are entirely my own. Have you ever heard of a baby box? A few years ago, I had read about the free boxes that are given to parents in Finland as a safe place for the new baby to sleep. And now, I'm happy to partner with The Baby Box ... Read more
A Simple, Modern Sip & See Party with Bagel and Mimosa Bar
Everyone has been wanting to meet my babies, but I've held off because 1. it's overwhelming and I'm exhausted and 2. this has been a horrible flu season! I was not about to deal with that! But a couple weeks ago, we invited a few of the husband's art school friends over along with their wives and ... Read more
