It’s Father’s Day. I haven’t been blogging much lately & I don’t know why but I’ve been feeling GUILTY about missing posts like “Happy Birthday to my Darling Mother” or “Happy Father’s Day!” but I just haven’t had anything to say & I have already said most of it on other days in other posts [...]

Happy Birthday, My dearest Softpack. I love you more than I can even express. Heterosexual Life Partners FOREVER!

So today was easter. It’s hard to believe it was Hudson’s 3rd & Tru & Soy’s 2nd. I mean- I have a kid that has seen 3 easters?! It’s kind of mind blowing. This year was the first year I did an easter egg hunt & when it was all said & done I felt [...]

28 is a weird milestone for me. I moved out of my parent’s house the day I turned 18. That was 10 years ago. I’ve been out of high school for a decade. I mean, obviously since I am 18+10. Weirdly enough, me turning 28 means I have been with my husband for exactly HALF [...]

Today was Truman & Sawyer’s first birthday. I cannot believe how quickly this past year has flown. Since April 2008 I have been pregnant 18 months- had two pregnancies, 3 children and have been a mother for 25+ months. I know that’s a couple of years- but this past year in particular really flew.

11:00AM on March 2010, you were born. You were the older, smaller twin at 5 pounds & 15 ounces. You were delivered, then, your sister & once in the recovery room- they started to survey you. Within a few minutes they whisked you off to NICU for what amounted to a 3-day stay of tubes [...]

Things have been very exciting around the Brandt household lately. We are all feeling better & the house has been buzzing with the excitement of Scott’s birthday, Truman & Sawyer’s 1st birthday, their party & the fact that they are officially walkers!! It started a day or two ago when Truman walked about three steps [...]

- Wake up late to Mom singing Happy Birthday severely off-key. -Watch Wow Wow Wubzzy in Mom’s bed. -Take a long shower by yourself because you’re 2. -Get dressed & head to Starbucks for a chocolate milk & birthday cake donut. -Head to the toy store to play in the play area & let baby [...]

I can’t tell you how it’s possible, but my life started the day you were born. It’s that simple. It’s like your first breath was my own. As corny as it sounds- that’s the only way I can explain what becoming a mother felt like. And I remember those first few hours of your life. [...]
