I'm sitting on the couch with one twin in my lap who is sprawled all over me and has fallen asleep, one twin in the rock-n-play asleep and my 3 year old in her room. I'm starting at the twins thinking, 'how did I get this lucky?', 'what does my life have in-store now?', 'how can I show them equal love and not favor one more than the other?'...so many questions. And I ha e no answer but to go day by day. When I was I pregnant with my 1st, I told myself what we would have planned in the next 2, 4, 6 years ahead of us. But when the twins surprised us, I don't think about the future anymore. I'm cherishing every day like it's my last with these girls.
Then I think, how can I love these girls equally? They each have a different personality already! 3 year old loves to play, twin L loves to snuggle and twin R likes the attention. They are perfect in God's eyes and I pray everyday I can give them the love and show them love, like my mother did and has for my sister and I.
Being a mom of twins is awesome. It's like a inner self challenge with myself seeing what I can prove to the world I can do. And then being a mom of all girls, is stressful lol. Thinking of the future for dresses, dates, weddings, cars.....i guess that's why I don't think in the future no more lol!! The only thing I wish is, i wish I had a 3rd arm so I could hold all 3 girls at one time 💜
The best thing in my accomplishments so far, is carrying 3 beautiful girls that I get to call mine, forever! Xoxo

Struggling Moms
I saw this inspiring video from moms who have a hard time raising their kids and wanted to share the encouraging words. Single moms, moms of multiples-you are worth every tear drop, every spanking you give-even in the moment where they 'hate' you.
This is for the moms who hide in the bathroom because she needs peace for a minute;
to the mom crying after she yelled at her kid because she feels guilty; to the mom who wants to fit in those skinny jeans again and feel good about herself for a minute; to the mom's who ordered/pick up take out because dinner didn't go the way you planned it would or your to tired to cook from working all day-it's ok!; to the mom who feels alone in a room by herself or standing in the middle of a crowd while people walk by:
You ARE enough
You ARE important
You ARE worthy
this phase of life is hard, it's challenging and super crazy. They will push your buttons to see how far you can go. But in the end, it will all be worth it. Those little eyes that look at you, think your perfect, they think your more than enough. Those little hands that reach out to hold you, think you are the strongest. They think you can cure every "boo boo", because you are enough, you are more than enough-your MOM!
I know I have moments where my toddler likes to push my buttons and I yell at her more now than I did before my 2nd round. She is a very strong-willed and smart mouth 3 year old. Watching that video and reading those words help me see it in her eyes. She's learning something new everyday and looking up to me to explain it to her and teach her as well. Some days I pick her up and squeeze the pee out of her to let her know even though we argue and bicker, I will always love her. Our saying is "I love you thiiiiiis much"
Ladies: always remember they are young, some need more mommy time with you, Don't huff and puff around them, they see and can mimic you.
Facebook Posts
It's taken me a couple days of pondering if I should even post about this. It aggravates me and I might get frowned upon, but I don't care.
Social media has really jerked my chain. Let me clarify, and no need for rude/debating comments-this is my opinion and blog. I am a Christian, I pray, listen to KLOVE, have faith and share Christian verses/posts. But these ridiculous post that says: 'I have 'such and such', no one wants to pray for me because of it. Please Share and like for $1".
SERIOUSLY?!
Why can't they just ask to be prayed for or to donate to them instead of saying stuff like that? That's why people call Christans hypocrites or are always saying something negative about us!!! All that does it get to make people feel guilty or sorry. Why do that? I sun differently than everyone but that's pretty low.
1) That makes me ashamed of my brother and sister to re-post stuff like that. 2) i will continue to pray for the ones that are asking for prayer, healing , or confort but i wont repost those kind of childish schemes.
Sorry to be so negative but that's one thing that really gets under my skin!

A Walmart daughter
Friday after work, I got to run a mile outside before picking up the kiddos. On the way over to mom's, I stopped by WM to get a couple things. I stopped by the women's work out clothes to get a new outfit for losing some weight for motivation! (Every excuse works ;) ) I walked over to the workout pants and there was a woman standing there. At first I was in my own little world and didn't pay any attention until she said she loved my Capri work out pants. I said thank you and so the conversation took off from there. I found a pair that she liked and kept encouraging her to try them on/get them. She was nervous and I told her she'd look great in them and to feel confident in them! She looked so relieved when I told her this. I mean I was selling these pants like I worked there! I even offered to go with her to the changing room and tell her yes or no, probably freaked her out but I wanted her to feel comfortable in them and confident.
It was nice getting to talk to a total stranger and not feel scared or uncomfortable. The reason I'm writing about this is what she said to me: "thank you so much! My husband would love you for encouraging me to get these. I only have sons and it was nice having a daughter for a minute".
Let me tell you, that warmed my heart more than a piece of pecan pie!! Moments like that make me appreciate my personality. I love helping and talking to anyone and I hope I helped raise that woman's confident and motivation.
So don't be afraid in life to talk to a stranger about anything! You never know what they are going through, have/don't have, or ever experienced it. I hope to see her again in the future.
