Can you hold the babies while I.....
Can you move the (really heavy thing) from the basement?
Actually, can you make dinner tonight?
Can you take Tommy to rainbows?
Can I use your cash for dunkin donuts?
Can we get a pet skunk?
Can I never go back to work?
Can I have the (better) pillow?
Can you pray for me?

I don't love him for the things he says yes to. 👆Surprisingly all of these. I love him because I can't help it. I loved him when we were just friends and I've loved him ever since. If someone asked me what to look for in 'right' person I would say someone who has gentle spirit, who laughs at what you laugh at and doesn't say yes to everything but says yes to the important things.
Happy Valentine's day @ttaylor2386. Thanks for saying yes that time I asked you on a date before I knew it was a date. 😘

Today was the best day. My December babies first time sun bathing! Oh my word the good it did for all of us. Just when you think winter is NEVER going to end, it's 62 and sunny. 🌞 Thank you, Jesus.

Tom just called and said we are going to Aldi and Chick-fil-a. Never been more excited.

Okay, truth, I hate when people say housework can wait when you have a new baby(s) because it can't right? I mean it can but then you are tired and covered in breastmilk AND your house is a total mess. Truly, life has to go on. You other child can't be sleeping in a pile of laundry and weeks old bedtime snacks forever.
.
The sentiment of 'enjoy your children while they are young' is good but I enjoy my children so much more when my house is clean! And no one cleans my house better than I do. (Throw out all the things #konmari). More important than the 'don't do housework' message should be, a 'set up systems that work' message. For me that's giving away a bag of stuff every time I clean (drives Tom crazy). Anyways, I cleaned Tommys room today and it felt soooo good.

Today's #ootd brought to you by this is the only clean laundry I have. Sweater is my favorite from Target, two holes in the sleeves but no worries it's still comfy. Shirt is also my favorite, from jane.com and no other piece of clothing speaks more truth--always. Pants are from goodwill, kind of modern but they are maternity and I'm going with it. Not pictured, two super cute babies who finally learned how to latch! And will be attached to me for the next year or so (at least that's #goals). Man I love this #momlife life thing. Also, I wore this yesterday too 😊.

Oh my word, these babies.
.
They both love to wake up and stay awake at 3:00 AM otherwise they are so different from one another.
.
Ira (right) is our serious baby, usually content unless he gets hungry (he's always hungry) and then it's 'feed me right now!' Nothing phases him except being hungry.
.
Edith is our happy-go-lucky baby, who makes the goofiest faces. She is always happy and even when she cries it's like 'hey guys, hey, I might be a little hungry but hey whenever...'
.
I'm thinking of setting up chatbooks just to capture all the funny faces Edith makes. I think I'll hashtag it #themanyfacesofEdithBailey
.
Plus, let's be real, I want to remember this always.

He is Mr. Serious and it's pretty funny.
He also doesn't sleep at night, which is not so funny.

Lactation support group followed by our first trip to Target. Two babies, one starbucks drink, thirty minutes to wander aisles and buy nipple shields and diapers. Totally saw another mom in the parking lot with twins, chased her down and asked if we could be friends. #sorrynotsorry

They are so precious.
They also eat a lot.
Like a lot, a lot.

So random thing, I've been listening to hymns non-stop and I am trying to pick out a hymn for each of my babies (MOPS gave me the idea), to be their song, one we'll sing to them as they grow up but nothing fits yet. Do you have song(s) for your kids? How did you pick them?

Wiffle ball eye

Aug 22, 2013 | My Corgi | 0 comments

I got hit in the eye with a wiffle ball. And had to go to the emergency vet. My mom must love me because my eye is fine and she spent a chunk of money.

About Me

Hi, I'm Emily. Welcome to the space where I share all the things I love. Like Jesus, and motherhood and trying to figure it all out. I live in a little town in Pennsylvania with my husband Tom and our son Tommy who is three. We also have two babies in heaven, identical twins Eliza and Ensley. I am also currently pregnant again! God gets all the glory. During the day I run a daycare and at night I design websites. I am so glad you are here.
