O.N.E

My girls I love you so much. You have changed every fibre of my soul. There is nothing left to lay stagnant as we’ve torn it up.
Like the muck in the spring before the flowers bloom.
You have bloomed.
We are blooming.

Norah your sweet eyes.
Harlow your Krinkly nose
The crib chats
Harlow is cautious and fierce
Norah is powerful and sturdy
The sharing
Norah has the ability to sweetly find her place in every room
Harlows vibrant sparkle, and infectious eyes are outstanding.

I’m so glad you found each other
You could not possibly compliment one another any more flawlessly

Effortlessly picking up where the other left off, and yet always walking your own path.
Quick to swipe each others toys but quicker to share and offer one another gifts

Your are both a gift to this world

May you forever shine bright
And stay in the light
May you forever hold your own space
And smile at every face
May you trust in the good
And eat all the wood

Xoxox I love you to the end of the universe and back a million times over

Can you tell?
That I’m sad?
Struggling with crippling anxiety?
Angry at everything...
Well not angry at the babies, or the water, or sun...
But everyone and everything else.
Can you tell?
That I showed up that day the best I could; but I felt like a failure?
That I was probably rude 2seconds before this photo was taken, and got in an argument 3 min after...
Can you tell?
That even though I say I’m ok and I don’t need your help I’m not?
That a moment like this for me, out of the house trying terribly hard to be “normal” is extremely exhausting.
That I haven’t slept in 8 months?
So there it is right....
The truth and the humble reality that we just never know. We never know what someone’s experiencing, why, or how, or what you can or can’t do to help... we just don’t know. Because if I don’t know what’s best for me how can you know what’s best for me?
So then what..?
Just GIVE A F**K.
Care about what people say.
Share about the real way you feel.
Show up for yourself authentically and wholly when you can and forgive yourself when you can’t.
KEEP TRYING.
Because when your struggling, trying is DOING.
Life isn’t easy for anyone right now... so in a world that’s tough to exist in just be honest and kind. For all you know your struggle could be someone else’s strength.
I love you.
I’m doing great now.
I’m sleeping again.
I made it out of the tunnel...again.
I’m blessed.
I can feel joy.

“Let’s gooooo, hurry up *please*”
“Terry grab the dogs”
“Bronson take Norah and this blanket, don’t let the wind hit her face”
“Mom here’s my phone, just slide it don’t bother with the password, and take lots obviously not just one..”
“Got it”-mom
“Where do you want to stand”- someone asked
“I don’t care just hurry up before they fuss”
“K everyone smile”
“Are the babies smiling are they looking!??”
“Yepp got it “-mom
“Wuhhoooooo can’t believe we did it thanks guys, k get in the car hurry up please we gotta go, like now before they cry”
“Did anyone enjoy that moment....” -B
“Maybe not this one, but this one family photo represents an incredible weekend. It’s the reason why I don’t have my camera out 24/7, so we can do a moment instead of distracted the entire time”
“Ahhhhhh ok ”
And here it is....
Our moment. To represent our first family camping trip! To me it’s absolute perfection. The chaos and all.
This is us.

82 days of loving you.
You as in the entities that you are
You as in Harlow and Norah
You as in us.

The us that was and now is
The us that is calm and chaotic
The us that is family

My oh my has my world changed. And yet somehow stayed the same.
It’s no wonder we feel tired, the slow pace of the daily race.
We laugh and cry, eat and p**p, rest and wake.
And in all of that your simply perfect.
Among all the imperfections.
I feel grateful for our journey and yet somehow in moments resentful. Never at you or us really just at it.
The it that is the all of it
The every single thing it
The forgotten it and the remembered it
The it with the sh
And here we are just thriving in IT (love)
I love you both more and more everyday.
I love all of us
And all of it
Now tell me , can you pick a favourite picture...?

Some days are endless
My patience grows thin
Why was I chosen
To be a mother of twins?
The answer comes at the end of a day
As I tuck them in bed, to myself I say
There are two to kiss and two to hug
But best of all there are two to love.
Forever and always our babies you’ll be.

What a beautiful blur
Life passing by one feed at a time
Time measured in diaper changes
Sleep that’s measured in minutes and not hours
Meals acting as fuel rather than an event
They say it takes a village and they aren’t friggen joking.
9 months of all hands on deck
I’m talking full support
My partner, family, friends from EVERYWEHRE , strangers, medical professionals, support people, “clients”...
I don’t know where we would be without each of you.
I haven’t cooked a meal since I’ve been home.
Before that, a day didn’t pass without someone checking in on me to just see how I was doing.
I had friends walk my dogs, clean my house, feed my family, literally massage my shoulders/hands/feet.
My life is so ABUNDANT.
My thoughts and hormones aren’t always sane and balanced.
I have raged moments of seeming imperfections.
They are fleeting moments .
I’m quickly brought back to reality with a reminder from my partner, a vent to my mom, authentic conversation.
This chapter... this new book... this series we are working on.... it feels like I’ve only read the preface ....

But it’s going to be friggen incredible!
What I’ve learned so far?
Breath. Deep long full complete breaths , whenever you can.
Feel. Every single painstaking, euphoric emotion as it arises and not a moment later.
Cry. often. Happy and otherwise tears.
Rest when you can.
But mostly just ....
LISTEN. Listen to what your needs and wants are and ask for help. Don’t be afraid to accept help. Learn to say YES please if it’s foreign to you , followed by the most sincere thank you!
This is my thank you in this moment.
Thank you to each of you who have reached out, checked in, cooked a meal, changed a diaper, nourished my family, supported, advocated, listened, cleaned, massaged ....
THANK YOU
For the tangible things as well... we haven’t had to leave the house for any last minute items. YOU helped prepare us!! (And my endless lists and marketplace hunting!) but mostly YOU!!!
It takes a village.
And we really love ours!
