Infertility is not new for us. We struggled to conceive our daughter Rosie as well. It was a really difficult journey and some of the darkest days I can remember. The second time around was easier in a lot of ways. With Rosie, we wanted to be parents SO BADLY and we were so scared that it wasn't going to happen for us. So when we were trying for baby #2, the hurdle of becoming a parent was over. We had been given the gift of being parents, and that (in a lot of ways) was blessing enough. But on ... View the Post

I asked on Instagram what the best purchases are for baby #2, either something you got or something you wish you had gotten! There were two major themes that I noticed when it comes to a baby #2 registry. First, you must have items that you can put the new baby into so that you can care for your older child. This could be lounger, activity center, or bouncer. The other theme I noticed was that some of the pricier items that were not in the budget for the first baby ended up being well worth it ...

I have been doing sensory bins with Rosie for a full year now! We got her sensory bins for Christmas in 2020 and I spent all of 2021 having fun creating new bins. Rosie was about 1.5 years old when we started doing sensory bins, and she is now 2.5 (just to give you some context!) Some sensory bins are a huge hit and others aren't (and that's okay!) It's about trying out different things and seeing what your child likes. Sometimes she does something different with the bins than what I had ... View the Post

I asked you all on Instagram what the must-have twin products are, and you delivered! Here is a list with the most recommended twin products.

Are there any other twin product recommendations that you think the IG followers missed? Twin Z Pillow - This pillow was BY FAR the most recommended item. Can't you just see two squishy ...

This first trimester bumpdate is BEYOND late (being that I am 20 weeks now!) but better late than never! I kept a note in my phone throughout the first trimester so that I could remember every detail. I love looking back on the bumpdates from my pregnancy with Rosie so I wanted to be sure to do these posts this time too. Also, this pregnancy could not be MORE different than my first one, so there will definitely be big differences in these posts! Here is a first trimester recap with this twin ... View the Post

Since we announced our pregnancy (see this post for more details!) I've been getting all kinds of questions about twins. Trust me, I get it. Twins are fascinating! When I tell anyone that we're having twins, they look extremely shocked (of course) and then they start to rattle off their questions. I've been getting the same handful of questions over the last few weeks, so I thought I answer some 'Twin FAQs' here on the blog. How Is This Pregnancy Different From Your First ... View the Post
