HOW TO SURVIVE TWINS (THE FIRST 2 YEARS) IN ONE PIECE

I prayed and prayed for a big family. And prayed. And one night after crying myself to sleep convinced I was never going to have another baby, I prayed some more. And I’ll never forget the moment I sat in that ultrasound and the tech said after a very long uncomfortable pause, “I’ve got some news for you ma’am, you have two babies in your belly, you’re going to be a twin mom!”. Like I was sort of out of my body in disbelief. And my husband? Well, let’s just say he was laughing and crying at the same time. We were to be a family of six. God knew what he was doing. But us? We were scared to death. Cue to today, and I’ve made it to year two as a twin mom, and the husband and I are still married. Anything is possible mamas. And in case you didn’t know, everyone is having twins and I’ve had numerous messages about how I’ve survived it all. So if you’re pregnant with twins or your sister or friend is, here’s the edited list of how I did it. Also, if you can do this, you can do ANYTHING. 

5 REASONS MOM FRIENDS ARE MORE THAN WINE BUDDIES

My husband said to me the other night, "You sure have a lot of birthday dinners to go to." Pause. "Yes I know." I said. "But they're important to me. Super important," I said as I smiled and loaded the dishwasher.  He didn't say this because he doesn't want me to go to the birthday dinners. He said it because he was pointing out the obvious in the middle of discussing our calendar.  I do get out often with my mom friends. And I'm thankful. And perhaps he's a tiny bit envious? Probably not, but there's good reason and explanation for our plethora of moms nights out and it's not just about getting tipsy on wine and talking about how excited we are about the upcoming season of Big Little Lies.

THE HAIR & BEAUTY EDIT (FOR THE CHAOTIC MOTHER WHO'S TRYING TO KEEP IT TOGETHER)

Ok. Here's the deal. I'm at that point in life where I consider wearing my hair down as making an effort. This is truth. So much truth. I'm not complaining and saying my life is in shambles and I can't get my shit together, but listen, twin toddlers that are two years old, are enough for me to want to stay in my pajamas all day every day. And that's not exaggerating. So with all due respect to those who aren't slumming it at home these days with babies and get out in the real world every day with a plethora of products in their hair and on their face, I'm just going to break it down in the most simplest terms, by the most simple laid back non product junkie I know, Me.
