The Curse part 1

i was going to write an entry about my pregnancy with my twins, who are currently 7 1/2 months old. i started going through all of my iphone photos i had taken throughout and realized, there is NO WAY i can write just ONE entry to tell this story. it's a NOVEL!
but i realllllly wanna share it. so i've decided i will just have to share it little by little.
my pregnancy was so HORRID that i wasn't able to blog much during it.
like, i was sick EVERY, SINGLE, DAY of it horrid.
and i'm not kidding.
and my girls went FULL TERM for twins
38 weeks
of sheer misery
now, would i change a thing? NEVER!!!!! they were worth EVERY SINGLE rancid minute of it.
but it was something for the books. something i want to share, in case any of you other momma's out there are struggling. i feel like i was born to be a "mom" but i do not feel like i was born to be "pregnant".
the photo above is a series of shots i took making silly faces on the day i should have known something was up. the day i should have known i was pregnant.
i will NEVER forget how EXHAUSTED i was just spending the afternoon with my friend Abby's 4, nearly 5 year old son, Kai. i was a nanny for years of THREE boys. i'm the oldest of 5. i grew up baby-sitting mass amounts of kids.
one boy for 3 hours should have been a piece of cake!?!
yet i remember draaaaagggging. trying so hard to keep my eyelids open.
so, i guess technically the first 4-6 weeks weren't pure torture because on this day i was just plain old tired.
it would be about 2 weeks later that the true AGONY would begin.
i had NO IDEA what i was in for....
i think that's enough for today:)
i love you Lucy & Sky
YOU WERE SOOOO WORTH IT
xo, mama

The Salt Empire

oh how the photos from the shop above inspire me. they are so beautiful and the earrings that are for sale are SPECTACULAR!
go check out TheSaltEmpire

it's pretty safe to say that i have been in love with this striped sweatshirt since i first found etsy. it looks so comfortable and the detailing of the ruffles on the shoulders gives it the perfect feminine touch:)

Short

in my attempt to get a blog post up nice and early today i have been facing many internet obstacles and it's making me want to put my head in the blender, or at least my hair. with that being said, i think it's time for me to take a break from the computer. i will be back later with a regularly scheduled post. in the meantime you should all go hop over to
XENOTEES
and pick up something for yourself or someone you love. my brother is modeling one of his 15, and NO i am NOT lying he has 15, marvelous t-shirts above.
leaving now before i self destruct.

MARVIN

oh joy! caroline and i went thrifting today and the moment i spotted this chair i knew it had to be MINE! it was orignally $40 but i ended up getting it for $17. sooooo cuddly and comfy and it rocks- literally, and he spins around and around. the color green is outta this world. i foresee lots of photoshoots and loads of drawing to be done while sitting in him. here are some more fun shots of the chair which we ended up naming Marvin. he's so handsome:)

ready for a fun song by a really fun band?
