February 2nd,mommy waddled her way into the hospital not knowing much. I knew twin A’s heart was always faster, while twin B’s was always harder to find, so much so that mommy had to ask for the Doppler from the nurses because I could always find it. I always knew where those little hearts were. I still do 🥲 We didn’t know what you looked like, what your voices would sound like, we didn’t even know if we were having 2 boys, 2 girls, or 1 of each. And then out you came at just before nine, and we were just floored. Floored that you were here. Floored that we made you.
Twin A, Brooklyn.
Of course you came first. You have been ready for this world since the moment you came into it. Strong, self assured and so so smart. Your K4 teacher has already confirmed what we have always known, that you are brilliant. This past year you have challenged us more than you ever have, all of those qualities we love about you, have come at us ten fold. But never change my sweet girl. With all the challenge, you have just as much whimsy, just as much glitter you’re leaving every where you go. And if ever you feel you’re losing some of that sparkle, not to worry, mommy is bottling it up, ready to shower you with it when you need it✨
Twin B, Miles.
As quiet as you were in the womb you came out ready. Ready to run, ready to scream. Our strong willed boy. You know what you want and while this can be a fight at times since what you want doesn’t always line up with reality, keep reaching for those stars my love. I worried that your defiance would make you hard, but in truth it just makes you human. A beautiful one. To the boy who plans a dream date with his mom every night…as long as I’m living my Miles you’ll be. 🥹
Having twins is a remarkable thing, but having you two? That’s one for the ages.
“I’ll believe, in anything, if you believe in anything”
Happy Birthday to our forever #wombmates 💕
I didn’t post a lot this year.
Probably the least I ever have since owning this curious little app. And to some degree I don’t feel any obligation to. This small grid of moments, things, people, places was always meant to be for me by me. And truthfully, I did not post a whole lot because this year was a WHOLE LOT. I struggled to even find the time to snap a few moments of beauty throughout the year. selfies with my husband? Hardly any. Photos of delicious meals? Not me. Florals and books? Feel far far away.
So many big changes, hurdles, adjustments, and that damn mother load. The one I carry with me everywhere, the one I curse but also love fiercely. The load that takes and takes and then takes a little more… but will still lift me up at times when I need it most.
I didn’t post a lot because there wasnt a lot. Not a lot of beauty, or moments or things I saw. I spent most of this past year parked in front of my computer and I’m still trying to figure out how to fix that. And as a parent? Well I can say that I got a heavy mom tax. Which left me often feeling like I’m on empty. So my eyes weren’t open to the things they normally notice. And my phone wasn’t out to capture it. I guess my whole spcheel here is that not all years will be on the grid. Because not all years are great. And that’s ok too. But man do I miss it. So I hope that for me, but also for all those who need to hear this, I’ve got a sneaky feeling that if you look for it, you’ll find that love actually is, all around. We just gotta remember to fill our cups, breathe, and know that the days are long but the years are short. So I will be sharing more of what lights me up, and hopefully you can get some of that light too. (If you need it)
Safe to say you’ll be seeing more of me in 2026. Sorry to disappoint 🥲
Merry Christmas 🎄
✨ Benjamin & Mommy, a Love Story ✨
To the boy who made me a mom. The little boy who is now
S E V E N,
Benjamin Beau. My beautiful boy.
I call you this all the time because it’s true. You are a beauty. Your face with that nose on those lips (where did they come from??) but more importantly, your heart. It’s so so beautiful. And it shows in all that you do. Your whole heart goes into it and while this can feel like a challenge, I will remind you for the rest of your days that your heart is your superpower.
From the moment you came into this world November 29th at ✨17:17✨ I knew we were soulmates. There is so much of me in you, the way you love, the way you care, your little anxieties and big worries. The way you are always looking for us, or your brother and sister, making sure someone is always near and in sight. A little light goes on inside of me when I notice these little things about you. Like you’re reminding me everyday who I am, and I cannot thank you enough for that my love.
Truth be told? You’re my bestie. And even though your twin siblings can take up so much space, please know that my heart is still with you. Always.
“So if some twisty turny day, you see that you have lost your way, NO MATTER WHAT I need to do, I will find my way to you. I’ll jump every puddle and row every pond, I’ll climb every mountain and meadow beyond, until you’re snuggled safe and fine, because you’re mine, because you’re mine.
* cue sobs *
I’ll tell you a secret that you never knew. All of my life I’ve been waiting for you. Me and you. You and me. We were always meant to be.
Although I know you’ll grow one day and I will watch you sail away, this mighty heart that loves you so will go wherever winds can blow. And when they blow you back to me, what a joy that day will be! For any time and any place I see your sunny, funny face, my heart will cheer, my eyes will shine, because you’re mine.
Because you’re mine.”
Happy Birthday Bubba ☀️
