Bringing in some Income…
After a year off on unpaid maternity leave, Justin and I had to decide when I would go back to work. We decided now was the best time as ever mainly due to financial difficulties. After being on only one income since I was 19 weeks pregnant with the twins we have gone through all…
Body Image…
Growing up in today’s society is tough, full stop. There is so much pressure to look a certain way and be a certain size thanks to social media. It shouldn’t be this way and we should learn to love our bodies just how we are. I grew up being bullied all through high school by…

Having a Baby Home on Oxygen …

Feeding twins is hard work but I’ll explain how we feed the girls the way that works best for us. Both girls have been bottle fed from the start (besides ng tube) with either EBM or formula. The Hospital used Aptimal Gold so we decided to stick with the same formula to not cause any…
Life After Nicu…
Life seems so “easy” most days at the moment. With the 5 of us under one roof finally life couldn’t be any more perfect. It seems like a lifetime ago that the twins were born and they were in nicu. So many days blurred into one and you loose track of time. Now we are…
Whats In My Nappy Bag…
So going out with twins you need a lot of stuff! Luckily Adelyn has her own backpack for her bits and pieces as I don’t think it would all fit in one bag haha! The bag I’ve used since the beginning is a Colette Nappy Bag. It’s big enough for everything to fit in for…
Erghh winter…
I am so looking forward to summer and seeing the sun again for more then a few burts between dark clouds. Winter especially is a horrible time of year for any baby, but even worse for microprems. It was just bad timing to be taking the girls home smack bang in the middle of winter,…
