In 2010, I started a completely new chapter of life. Not only did I willingly take on tasks that I’d never dream of doing at 24, but also realized a lot of my core values. The best part of it all was finding a part of myself I never knew, the wife and homemaker. These [...]
Tomorrow, I am going to bite the bullet and hopefully upload a couple pictures for everyone. I’ve been incredibly self conscious about my changing body, careful not to go out in public often and never post pictures of myself that show my growing belly. But as much as I want to “try and lose 2 [...]
I am off work this entire week, which is really lovely. An added bonus is the fact that I am feeling really fantastic. This morning I made pretty good headway in the house cleaning department, but what has been more surprising is my rediscovered zest for cooking. I ran out to the grocery store and [...]
I just wanted to pop in and say hello… I am quite thrilled because tonight starts the beginning of my 10 day break from work, and we got to heart two little baby heartbeats today at the doctor’s. Other wonderful things include my family coming over for dinner tonight, the smell of garlic potatoes cooking, [...]
My stomach started itching today. And Palmer’s Cocoa Butter smells bad. But I’ll continue to slather it on with the false belief that it will magically prevent stretch marks from developing on my perfect abs. Or…the area that used to house perfect abs. Here are some visuals that describe the exciting life I’m currently living:
Seriously. I’m pretty sure I’ve gained 5 more pounds in the last week. I keep reading these message boards where women are all, “OMG, I’ve only gained 4 pounds!” or, “Actually, I’ve lost 6 pounds since I became pregnant!” Really disheartening to read when prior to all of this, I weighed under 105 pounds. I [...]
Well, hello there, second trimester. We meet already? I just wanted to say that I absolutely LOVE YOU compared to the first, and although I’ve gained nearly 20 pounds, it feels like a small price to pay for my new found joie de vivre. My babies look like little humans on ultrasound now, and my [...]
These past three months have been absolute hell, to be honest. Yesterday I reached a bit of a breaking point, and I am so lucky to have my great family. I can’t seem to say that enough lately. My poor mom, a recent empty-nester, is getting another run for her money! How about the growing [...]
Hello. I'm Katelyn, a 25 year old wife, mother of twins, artist, and idea-factory. During the day, some might call me a "hit-the-ground-running" Administrative and Marketing Professional. In this space, I chronicle the nitty gritty details of balancing a full time career, new motherhood and all quirks of being a young wife in Ohio. I enjoy challenging the traditional views of a homemaker and my driving force is PASSION. If you enjoy random photos, digital media, moody quotes, or appreciate raw and witty sarcasm, you might want to stick around.
