A Look Back

I was reminiscing the other day about when Kora and Logan were both under 2. It was a tough time, but it was also filled with lots of tired smiles, laughs, and even cute pictures. I was looking through our pictures and can’t believe how much they have grown! Our time of 2 under 2 [...]

a 077

Before I start this post I’m knocking on wood big time and keeping my fingers crossed too, just in case. I know one of the main concerns of parents expecting two children under the age of 2 is whether they will resent each other or not. We have been so lucky in this regard. While [...]

Sick Day

2008 525

I’m calling in sick today. Well, since I’m actually writing this on Sunday I’m calling in sick for yesterday. I was bit by a nasty stomach bug, chills, fever etc. Fun stuff. Anyway, I’m sure you don’t want to read the gory details so instead here’s a flashback picture to make up for my absence. [...]

I thought I’d start a weekly series about my experiences expecting and raising two children 14 months apart. I hope you enjoy this little peek into our family dynamic and if you’re in a similar situation can pick up a tip or two. In some people’s minds we were crazy to have our children so [...]

Mealtime with 2 Toddlers

I admit, I have a lot of weird mealtime hang-ups (well, I have a lot of hang-ups but to save you time I’ll only address the ones that have to do with food here). I save my favorite part of a meal for last (ex. if I think the mashed potatoes are the best thing [...]
