We survived the first year! In this episode, Iām covering the shockingly useful birthday gifts the twins are obsessed with, how our sleep schedule has been shaping up, and what itās been like slowly stepping back from nursing.

Preparing for twins can make you feel like you need to double your budget and your storage spaceābut not everything has to come in pairs. In this episode, Iām sharing what twin moms really need two of, what you can get away with just one of, and whatās totally optional (but nice if youāve got the room and extra spending money). Think of this as your realistic shopping guideābecause nobody has time (or closet space) for two of everything.

At nine months in, my twins aren't sleeping, and neither am I. Enter: caffeineāmy new best friend and worst enemy. The nine-month sleep regression has me stuck in a loop of sleepless nights, cranky mornings, and way too much coffeeā¦ all while Iām still nursing. In this episode, I talk about the struggle of trying to function on little to no sleep, the guilt that comes with upping my caffeine intake while breastfeeding, and the little ways Iām trying to hold it all together. If youāve ever wondered if moms can survive on coffee alone, this episode is basically my case study.

Everyoneās postpartum body journey looks different, but I wanted to share mine. In this episode, I talk about how I set my goals, what I did to lose the baby weight, and the mixed emotions that came with it. I also share how I managed it while keeping my breastmilk supply ā because nursing my baby was always the real goal, and the rest was just a bonus.

āDo they feed at the same time?ā āHow do you even do that?ā āWhen are you stopping?ā ā If I had a dollar for every time I got one of these questions, I could probably afford a night nurse. In this episode, I break down the realities of tandem nursing, my (delayed) supply struggles, and how I finally transitioned from pumping to full-time breastfeeding two babies. No fluff ā just real talk

Nothing to see hereājust your favorite twin mom absolutely losing it. The schedule? Gone. The cleaning? Ignored. The kids? Fighting like itās their job. In this casual (but very real) rant, Iām talking about the burnout creeping in, the overstimulation that has me snapping at my husband, and why I suddenly donāt care about anything but snacks and silence. If you're riding the hot mess express too, hop onāmisery loves relatable company.

Babyās almost here ā and itās time to pack that hospital bag! In this episode, I break down everything I packed for birth day: what I brought, what I actually needed, and what the hospital already had waiting for me. I cover what to pack for yourself, your baby, and yes ā even your husband (because heās not getting off that easy). If youāre overwhelmed with lists or worried youāre forgetting something important, this is the real, mom-to-mom advice I wish I had when I was packing mine.

I didnāt have a long list of birth preferencesājust one. It felt like the one thing I could hold onto, the one part of the plan that mattered most. But sometimes, no matter how much we hope, plan, and prepare, our bodiesāand our babiesāhave other journeys in mind. In this episode, Iām opening up about the heartbreak of letting go of that plan, the emotional weight of it all, and how Iām learning to make peace with a story I never expected. If your birth didnāt go the way you hoped, I see you. This oneās for the mamas who had to pivot, grieve, and still find the strength to show up.
