Ramblings, Growth, and Healing

-
I recently posted in a group about something very close to my heart and I was hurt by a lot of the responses which prompted me to look for areas in my life that still needed healing. I guess there’s probably more than just the topic of the post and the hurts that came with that part of my life to work through. But, I thought I would start writing out some of my thoughts. I think it might help me process. 


So, to follow will be some senseless ramblings from my heart. 


There are still lies and fears holding me back from being free. I'm not exactly sure what they are. But, I am planning to ask God to show me and empower me to face them head on. I don't even know where to start because I have kinda just been surviving the last few months (ok, a year or more). The whole twin thing threw my into this whirlwind. I feel like I have just rolled from one punch to the next, gotten back up and rolled again. I have fought with myself, I have fought with my husband, I have fought with my kids. And, sometimes even the occasional person I have never met in my life online. LOL Why? I don't even know.


Anyhow, so much has happened. And I thing putting everything down on paper might help me (and probably a thousand other Moms) process the whirlwind of life after twins. There are so many blessings. There's so much to be grateful for. But there's a lot of hard. A lot of big girl panties. A lot of begging God to fill in the gaps. 

I know my journey will look very different from every other Mom's journey. That's ok. I'm writing for me. And, I hope in the process, to pull a few other Moms along with me on the path too healing. 

The kids want dinner now, so I will post again when/if I ever have another free moment. LOL

The Boy Mom Life

  Being a boy Mom is never dull! Bugs, dirt, farts, love, sweet hugs, sports, stinky socks… It’s all a part of this unique privilege. For those of us with a girly side, there’s also a bit of gritting our teeth and getting dirty with them. From the dirt to the silly things they say, we CAN laugh and LOVE being their Moms. And we can do our best to teach these boys to be men who love God, love others, and walk humbly with God. It’s a high calling. Because someday, your sweet boy will be a sweet girl’s husband. It’s our profound privilege to teach them now how to respect women, say they are sorry, take responsibility for their own actions, be responsible for their own things, and not make their wives be a second Mom. Wow! What an honor right?!

Day 1- no coffee

 Day 1 - no coffee. I didn’t miss the cozy devotion time with coffee. The dandelion Teechino with a touch of real maple syrup and Almond milk tasted somewhat similar to coffee.   I’m currently enjoying a beautiful headache on a sunny day. 🥴

Welcome Your Twins with a Nursery That Works

So you're having twins. There is so much to think about and, well, as a twin Mom myself, I have realized that there was so much that I wish I had when my twins came along. Today I will focus on the NURSERY. Here are some things I didn't think about and wish I had.  1. If you co-sleep, it will be SO different with twins and your hubby may need to sleep for work the next day. I WISH I had put a bed for ME in the twins' room in case it was a long night along with these little bassinets to keep them safe but close.  Another thing I wished I had was a nursing chair that was a little wider and without wooden handles to bump their heads on. The truth is, nursing twins takes a lot more work to set them up. Something like this would have been a DREAM!   This nursing pillow is something I DID have and I was forever thankful for it.    Other things to think about are that you will need a light for nighttime diaper changes that will not wake both up if one doesn't need ...
