The majority of pregnancies with multiples start getting "exciting" much sooner than those of singletons.  Because of this, my story needs a little intro leading up to their actual birth.  It was definitely a difficult time in my life,...

Coconut oil is becoming more and more of a widely used product.  It has become a staple in many households for a variety of reasons.  Coconut oil is such a versatile substance that can be used in lots of...

This past April our youngest son was born, and while there are only 3.5 years between him and our older son, I could not believe the changes that had happened in baby items over that period of time! Preparing...

This pregnancy (with my 3rd baby) has definitely kicked my butt! Between intense morning (read: all day sickness) for the first 3-4 months, sciatic and lower back pain in my second trimester, really low iron that zapped all my...

Getting pregnant can be hard. I can hear the laughter of those who know I got pregnant with Melody the first time I did "the deed" on my wedding night. Fast forward to the present day, and we have...

With a two year old and a seven month old I’d say I’ve experienced enough pregnancy for a lifetime. I spent Thanksgiving and Christmas pregnant two years in a row ... something I probably wouldn’t wish on anyone, and...

When I see those moms who have more than two kids and are really rocking it, I find myself in awe. I just don’t think I could do it. I always knew that I wanted more than one baby, but it wasn't...

  OK, where do I begin? I guess I’ll start with a little background on my pregnancy with Ayva first.  The first trimester was rough, lots of morning sickness (or what should be called all-the-time sickness).  I lost a bit...

I've always been a major nudist. I'll skinny dip in the middle of the day and walk around the house in broad daylight without any clothes on at all. I'm not sure why I've been like this my entire...

When I first heard of Stroller Strides, I thought “Oh, how cute, a group of moms chit-chatting about babies while doing some stroller lunges.” However, when I actually joined one of their workouts I spent an hour huffing and...

The other day I was rocking my sweet baby boy in my favorite chair while my husband put our older daughter to bed. My son repeatedly tried to pull my hair and shove his little fingers in my mouth and it...

I have been pregnant 5 times now, and two of those pregnancies have given me my two beautiful boys. I have also had a miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy. I found out I was pregnant a few weeks ago,...

As a photographer, I understand completely how stressful family photos can be sometimes. First, you have to find a photographer whose work you love and that you can trust to capture you and your family's memories. Then there is...

We have all had the days ... the days where you feel like you're going to wake up and conquer the world, and, well, it just doesn't go that way. AT ALL.  I had one of these days recently....
