T is for Twins. Confessions of a Supermum. Pay it Forward Parenting. July 6, 2015. He’s too little to be climbing up the slide.’ I wanted to say something ‘sternly’ back but instead I said ‘oh, thanks, he does it all the time.’. Many of you would relate to the fact that parenting is the most challenging and rewarding thing you will do. When I got home with two babies I was super scared I would break them. What the hell, man? I had two freaking babies in my care 24/7. Who trusted me with this? My friend w...

Trying to play catch-up. | Growing Griswolds
https://aktwins.wordpress.com/2014/12/13/1291
New mom to girl-girl twins after a battle with infertility. Join me on my journey as I figure this parenting thing out. Trying to play catch-up. December 13, 2014. It’s almost been a whole month since my last post. I am going to try and catch y’all up on the current happenings of the Griswold family. Here we go…. At least we know that she is picking up on it even though she may not be using it in the correct context. All I want for Christmas is a box. Keeps me entertained for hours. Goofball. They’...

November 2014 – honest:statusupdate
https://waterbelle44.wordpress.com/2014/11
November 26, 2014. November 26, 2014. The call for more, more, always more – it’s hard to resist. And the teaching – there’s no way that I can anticipate how much time that is going to take, beyond imagining it’s going to be a lot. It’s hard for me to say no now, both from an intellectual curiosity perspective and a love of what I’m doing (‘It would be cool to study that! This might be the thing that gets me to the next thing, and everyone else is doing everything, and I have to be in this tenure race!

June 26, 2014. Why didn’t we know that such and such was going to be here? Why did we pick soccer over swimming when it was clear that soccer wasn’t for us? Why didn’t we do this better, that faster, the other thing differently? It’s so easy: assume that your kids are competent. And start from there. Don’t ignore failings, but don’t presume that everything that goes wrong is their fault, or that every decision they make is the wrong one. What were you thinking? I yelled loudly. Angrily. I recognized that...

Project 333 Spring Capsule Wardrobe: Stripes (and thoughts on scarcity). April 20, 2015. One of the sure signs that I’m about to get my period is usually me standing in front of my closet, heart racing, clothes strewn in heaps on the ground. Nothing fits, nothing is right, everything is wrong. It’s not me. It looked good on the hangar. What was I thinking when I bought this? The only thing I really want to wear is what I’ve already been wearing for days. Who has time for that shit? I am a GROWN-ASS WOMAN.

Monday, 27 July 2015. I'm a bit preoccupied and doing things mainly for distraction. Hopefully I can update in a few days with a clear mind. In the meantime here's something I am hoping to make today: Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins. I'm not particularly domestic and don't usually spend a lot of time researching new recipes, making Pinterest boards, etc. But a couple of months ago I started making these muffins for Mr. Turtle to freeze for breakfast at work. And they are so yummy! Friday, 24 July 2015. Jump into...

Are You 486? – The Personal Is Political
https://thepersonalispolitical2.wordpress.com/2015/07/30/are-you-486
The Personal Is Political. July 30, 2015. July 30, 2015. It wasn’t long before I received a backlash. The same backlash that was heavily apparent in the comments section of every version of this story that had been shared. There seems to be two glaring, opposing sides:. 2) People feel that this has been a long time coming and it’s important that women are able to have a safe option to terminate a pregnancy. Adoption, you say? Putting a bunch of children up for adoption does not equate to all of them goin...

Thursday, 23 October 2014. The Last Days of Pregnancy. Read it; it's good. Yup, that's where I'm at. The writer, Zana Studelska, uses the German word "Zwischen" or "between" to write about the last days of pregnancy, i.e. waiting for baby. What is it with due dates, anyway? The stats say that only 5% of babies arrive on their due date. I suppose it is medically necessary, as this article says. Nobody is doing that. To me ( and they'd be in big do-do if they tried. What's going on now? Of course upon gett...
