Embracing the Change! Life So Far As a Mom of Two

I’m back! Zayn made his (very fast) appearance on June 20th and I’ve just been spending time adjusting to being a mom to two and getting back into the swing of things at home. It hasn’t been as hard as I initially thought it was going to be because SOOOOOO many articles make you dread going from one child to two, but it’s definitely been an adjustment and we’re all learning together.  

RJ LOVES being a big brother. He hasn’t asked us to take the baby back or shown an extreme signs of jealousy or resentment which honestly I was a little worried about. My big boy is definitely a mamas boy and initially I was really worried about how he’d feel about sharing his parents with another person 24/7. He always wants to hold his brother and if Zayn makes the tiniest peep he’s there at his side before any of us. He doesn’t hesitate to show people his baby and remind everyone “you see my brother?”. I think we did a gairly good job prepping him to become a big brother before Zayn arrived. 

Speaking of making a peep, as a breastfeeding mama I highly believe in the paci! Zayn isn’t as bad as RJ was (yet!) but these kids would literally stay attached to me all day if it wasn’t for pacifiers and the Wubbanub is 1000% my favorite (check out my rave about it here from when RJ was a baby)! RJ chose this design for his brother because lions are his favorite animal but the Wubbanub comes in a variety of fun designs, all made with a single mold, medical grade silicone pacifier. They’re sold at a variety of places but I recommend checking out Wubbanub.com to find your local retailer (most likely Babies R Us or Target) and find out anything else you may need to know about the product. 

I’ve learned so much about myself in such a short time frame and I honestly look at both my boys almost everyday in shock and awe that I get to be their mommy! I’m so grateful for grace (from my boys, my love, and myself), patience, and the love I’ve gotten from them and their daddy and I can’t wait for us to continue to grow together as a family. This journey through motherhood is exhausting! There’s a lot of sleepless nights, more diapers than I can count and I’ve been cleaning a lot of booboos so far this summer (boys are rough!) but I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world! I love being their mommy and I’ve embraced the transition from one amazing little boy to two!  

Follow us on Instagram and Twitter to keep up with our family and all we’re doing this summer!

How was it transitioning with another baby in your family? Have you tried and/or gifted the Wubbanub? 

 

 *Disclaimer – This post is not sponsored but I did receive the Wubbanub for free in exchange for my honest review. I would never recommend a product I didn’t love and/or think you guys would love. If you missed it, check out my review for the Wubbanub and my first child here. Waaaaay before I received anything for free! ;-)*

My sweet babies. From big feelings to small moment My sweet babies.
From big feelings to small moments they are literally learning how to be adults by watching us. They deserve a childhood they don’t have to heal from so that they can grow to be the best adult versions of themselves.
& that’s on.. breaking generational curses.

@colorfactoryco is all dressed up for fall! We got a preview of ‘haunted hues’ and the kids loved the scavenger hunt where they had to find all the monsters! The installations are similar but the fall feels make it even more exciting! Plus we had some spooky friends join us in the ball pit! And of course.. there were treats!! 😋

If you’re looking for something to take the kids to this fall in the NYC area, I’d definitely check The Color Factory out! Ticketing info is at the link in their bio. Thank you @colorfactoryco for having us!

Inside the private two bedroom villas at @caribero Inside the private two bedroom villas at @cariberoyaleorlando 

This villa literally had everything we needed for our trip. From a full primary suite to an extra room with double beds the suite was absolutely amazing. The balcony also had an amazing view and when you stay in the villas at Caribe Royale they have their own pool section in case you don’t want to head to the main pool. 

I’ve always been a fan of suites for family trips but this was perfect for our girls trip too! Are you team suite or team hotel room?

Thank you again to the team at @cariberoyaleorlando for hosting us!

As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past tr As many times as I’ve gone to Epcot this past trip was my first time inside Club Cool. I’ve heard of “The Beverly” plenty times but we didn’t think it’d be THAT bad. 

Why is the bad taste delayed? Why do people drink this? Why did @shayewyllie look like she was about to drink more? Why is that even still an option in the soda machine?! I have ALL THE QUESTIONS @disneyparks 🥹😅😂
