Lucas’ new glasses came today! I was a bit worried when they told me they ordered the wrong color frames (seriously?) but he loved them! Toddler glasses can be fun! Glasses are to be worn all the time and we have to patch 2 hours per day. I’m a bit nervous how we will do […]
Round Two Eye Doctor
Last week, Lucas had a follow up with his pediatric specialist eye doctor. While I wish I could say we saw improvement and some good news, it just did not work out that way. Partially, I think a lot had to do with the many uncorrected issues we had with the original pair of glasses. […]
DOUBLE THE TROUBLE: HOW TO AFFORD CLOTHING FOR TWINS
One child means a lot of spendings. While two kids at the same time mean double the expenses too! Everything from diapers and toys to clothing costs twice and that can make every parent worry a lot. But today I am going to share some great tips how to afford clothing for those two bunches […]
Stomach Flu Strikes
This past week has not been a fun one. After Aubrey had some tummy issues that she had in the past, immediately upon getting her home from the doctor, Lucas began throwing up. Since then, he and Nathan have both stayed sick, and Aubrey and I have been hit with it. We’ve been told over […]
Fighting to Keep my Twins Together in School. *Updated*
It is hard to believe but in January, when the boys turn three, it is proposed they enter public preschool for their speech delay. Little did I know the “battle” I’d be facing on top of this decision. Since the twins were born, I’ve always stood to the fact I wanted the boys in the […]
Being a “Special Needs” Mom
When you have early intervention services with your child, or in our case children (the twins), some of the things that you are told just make sense and it clicks. Then of course, you try to explain it to others around you and you end up looking like you are trying to speak Greek. This […]
Eye Doctor Appts for Twins
With both girls seeing eye doctors last month and Kelsie starting to wear glasses, it’s become more obvious to me that the twins, especially Lucas, might have some vision issues. It’s odd that you notice things more prominently after being aware, (just like when you get a new car and EVERYONE on the road has […]
Speech Therapy Delays and Early Preschool #Twins
It is hard to believe the twins will already be turning three in January. It really isn’t a lie when people say time flies. We have still remained in speech therapy and early intervention services since the twins were born and unfortunately, we have made little progress in language. We have a lot of jibber […]
Nathan’s Disney’s UP Doppelganger #Disney #Funny
Nathan is my complete and utter goofball child. Tonight, he grabbed his Uncle Gunnar’s glasses and instantly starting hamming it up. I had to take a picture and after posting to Facebook, my friend Ali pointed out who he looked like. Without further ado…..
Wordless Wednesday:But Mom, I wanna Look!
It’s Storm season here in Iowa and of course, the little ones want to look outside too, right? Oh silly little boy.
5 Products You Must Have for Baby
5 Products You Must Have for Baby Now that I have “mastered” juggling newborn twins and everything that comes with two babies needs at once, there are so many products I have fallen in love with for our family. While some of these products I did not begin using until I had the twins, I […]

Delayed Speech in Twins and the Secret Twin Language
When we’re out in public with the twins, we are prepared for lots of questions about the little guys. You start to become used to it. Now that the boys are almost 2 1/2 (My oh my how time flies), we are asked about their talking and if they have their own “secret twin language” […]
Wordless Wednesday: Caption It #WordlessWednesday
Oh if only we could know what they’re saying to each other….
Silly Scrunch Face Baby
Lucas has a new antic that I can’t help but laugh every time. When you say picture or he realizes the camera is on him, he scrunches up his nose and makes the silly face, just like above. My mom said I used to do the same thing when I was his age. Oh those […]
