happy #NationalTwinsDay (our first!!) 👶🏻👶 happy #NationalTwinsDay (our first!!) 👶🏻👶🏻

no words can capture how absolutely special it is to be a twin mama. every day I look at my identical baby boy miracles and think about how lucky and blessed I am to have grown them both in my belly. it brings chills to my skin to think about it, it’s such a special honor, and never in a zillion years would I have thought I would get to experience that. 

lu and I constantly talk about how wild it will be to see them grow up as identical brothers. whenever we see “grown up” twins or even toddler twins, we’re in awe. it’s just beautiful, there’s no other way to describe it. 

rio and sol were unexpected, but we cannot imagine our lives without them, it’s like they were exactly what our family needed. they fit in perfectly and they make every day better. roma and luca are enamored with the twins and take care of them and “babysit.” they love to talk about how they have “two babies” at home. it melts my heart. 

as hard as it has been to have 4 kids aged 4 and under and as overwhelming as it was when we found out we were having twins (that’s a WHOLE story - we didn’t find out until 12 weeks, after being told during previous ultrasounds that it was a singleton pregnancy!!), it is something that I am so happy the universe gave us. we needed rio and sol and they completed our family. 

I can’t wait to see you two grow up, and it’s been a humbling experience to be your mama 😍 love to all the twin parents out there!! what an extraordinary club to be in 😇
finally got the best mommy award this morning from finally got the best mommy award this morning from my dino-obsessed almost 5 year old 🦕🦖we’ve now entered the custom pancake stage of motherhood 🥞👋🏼 happy saturday!
seriously, moms get me. 😜👶🏻 but keep read seriously, moms get me. 😜👶🏻 but keep reading! ⁣
⁣
during the first year of my babies' lives, I always mourned my pre-baby style. I missed wearing stylish clothes and not worrying about breastfeeding access or if the fabric would scratch my baby's face if I had to baby wear or rock to sleep. I missed picking out outfits without worry for spit up stains or accessorizing and worrying about earrings or necklaces my little ones could pull on. ⁣
⁣
I missed wearing my hair down and just.... feeling beautiful. I wanted to feel sexy and good about myself, because I certainly felt proud of my body and loved it for what it gave me: four gorgeous, perfect humans. ⁣
⁣
this time around, with the twins, I made an effort to do a few things to get back in my groove sooner and feel more confident:⁣

1️⃣book a sitter for saturday nights, once the twins started sleeping through the night. now this is tricky because we have 4 kids, so we put at least the twins down (I'm still nursing) before leaving for the night. this gives me an opportunity to feel and look cute, not worrying about anyone but myself. ⁣
⁣
2️⃣invest in your body now. I'm a firm believer that you'll sooner get to where you want to be physically postpartum if you accept your body in its individual stages. I used to refuse to buy a larger size because I couldn't bare spending money on a body I knew I wouldn't be in for much longer. well, what I didn't realize is that if I felt better in the body by investing in a few affordable outfits, it would encourage me to work on myself because I wouldn't feel slumpy and unmotivated. ⁣
⁣
3️⃣work on your mom uniform. okay, so, I'm accepting that for the first year, when I'm nursing and the babies are still spitting up, it's not realistic for me to wear Gucci during the day. but, I can up my athleisure game and there are so many great brands now that make flattering, supportive, colorful (don't do all black!!), and comfortable clothes. right now, I'm loving @lululemon, @aloyoga, @aerie, @athleta, and some @gapfit. ⁣
⁣
hope this helps some of the moms out there who are in the same season as me right now.
I'm having a pearl couscous moment. 🤤 I can't g I'm having a pearl couscous moment. 🤤 I can't get enough of it. if you've had my Mediterranean Couscous Salad, you'll love these Grilled Peach and Shrimp Couscous Bowls with Feta! 🍑

if you don't have a grill or a grill pan, no sweat - just cook the peaches and shrimp in a skillet, air fryer, or any method to get a little sear on them! there's something about warmed peaches that's so summery and inviting. ☀️

it's a simple, slightly-sweet dressing that pulls it altogether, with feta for salty and avocado... just because! grab the recipe on the blog, as always. 💻
