Iowa Blogger Chasing Twins, Living Life, & More
As I’ve connected with several Moms that held the title of “NICU Mom”, it seems there’s one thing all have felt-an “out of place” position. I know that I am very blessed and fortunate that my boys were only in the NICU for two weeks. We needed very few interventions to get our little guys […]
I hate clowns. There’s nothing around it that absolutely creeps me out more. When I was younger, in one of my mom’s not-so-smart parenting moves, I watched It. I think I honestly was five or six. While yes, they kept covering my eyes, we all know that doesn’t really do any good. Shortly after (I’m thinking […]
Things have been pretty busy with surgery, babies, and what not that I never got the chance to post when I wanted to. A few weeks ago I got a surprise package in the mail. To this day, I do not know who is responsible for it but I want to say THANK YOU. In […]
A Guest Post Chores are one of the perks of being a parent we feel guilty talking about – mostly because of how much we remember chores being unwarranted cruelty bestowed by our own parents when we were young. But once we’ve grown up and had children of our own, we realize how useful they […]
Tomorrow=surgery. To say I’m scared just doesn’t cover it. Today has been a whirlwind of emotions and anxiety. This isn’t exactly the knee surgery I had in high school. If you see my disappear, you’ll know why. I will try my best to update somehow (on the phone typing this all)
Speak Up, an original documentary from Cartoon Network, captures the authentic, everyday stories of America’s bullied kids and the youth who have helped them. The half-hour film is an extension of the network’s nationally recognized and award-winning pro-social initiative Stop Bullying: Speak Up, which seeks to empower all kids to take part in the growing […]
With the financial responsibilities facing a single parent, home ownership might seem difficult, if not impossible, to achieve. However, with some time, dedication and know-how, the savvy single can achieve their dreams and provide a sound foundation for themselves and their family. The first and most important step for a single parent who is considering […]
If it’s not one thing, it’s another. Or what about that saying, “When it rains, it pours”? Well, the past few days have definitely done that. On Wednesday, I had my regular trigger point injections that I have waited my entire pregnancy to have. Unfortunately I think with the joys of two babies instead of […]
Since the twins have been born, I have been trying to make sure I focus specific times on Kelsie and Aubrey. Today we had the chance to go to the Iowa State Gymnastics tournament. Both the girls love music and getting up dancing so it just seemed perfect to take them. I have never been […]
Today weighing the boys, Nathan was 11 lbs and Lucas 10 lbs. These little guys are growing like no other! And of course, you can’t go wrong with silly faces… You just have to wonder what those little guys are thinking…
Now that we have added to our family, saving money is a must-have in our home. Here are some awesome coupons worth checking out before you head out to get some goodies for your little ones. We just had to purchase a swing and bouncer and these would have been AWESOME to have!
February 20th, 2012 marks three years since we lost the man I referred to as “The Rock” of our family-my Grandfather. Not a day goes by that I don’t find myself thinking of him, especially with the birth of my boys. My Grandpa was an incredible man and loved everyone with all of his heart. […]
I have fallen in love with Pinterest. I love checking out the various ideas, recipes, oh everything you can find on there. I have pinned quite a few items to my various Pinterest boards and I find myself checking atleast once a day to see any fun new items others have pinned. NOW, I love checking […]
I offered Jenna to guest post here while she was in the NICU with the boys. Obviously, that kind of fell by the wayside since the boys are home now! A little bit about me, I’m Cheryl and a mom to 2 little girls, Lauren who is 5 and Jillian who is 3. Also, my […]
I’ve been quiet about it not knowing a date for sure and then of course, with the twins making their debut, I’ve been a bit slow in talking. In December, I had the chance to talk with Megan Reuther about my experiences blogging. It has been an incredible thing. Never did I know that I’d be […]
