I swear one of these days I will take the time to just WRITE some updates, but my update is basically that life is all about the twins lately of course!
They have been home for almost a month now (and will be 2 months this week) and it is crazy how quickly it has gone by.  They are getting so big and while of course I know that is the GOAL especially when we had preemies,  but it makes me so sad to see them already changing so much.

// PERSONALIZED BLANKETS // 
We have one of those digital picture frames that plays pictures and when I see pictures from their first week or two I’m amazed at how big they have gotten!
Collins, the “little one”, is bigger than her sister now! She has cheeks for days and is such a little chunk now compared to how she used to be.  I can’t wait to find out what they both weigh at their 2 month appointment next week.  They’re both the sweetest little things and we’ve been *so* incredibly lucky with them.  They are all consuming but it’s been the best way to spend my days (and nights) with them.

I’ve been venturing out solo with them for walks every day that I can…. I still can’t quite imagine venturing out solo with them to go meet friends for lunch or be anywhere in public (yikes) but hopefully I’ll get there (insert giant freaked out eyes emoji!)
We took them over to my mom’s house for the afternoon and for dinner last night, so that was my first time driving them somewhere other than doctors appointments.  It went great so hopefully once they have their shots after their 2 month visit I’ll be brave enough to go meet friends for lunch somewhere!
my aunt was in town visiting and made taco salad for dinner! she uses wholly guacamole as the dressing and it’s so so good.

These little onesies are from Spearmint Love and were a gift from Kip’s cousin and we are OBSESSED.
They are SO soft and so stretchy.  Hadley still can only wear snaps because of the cords with her apnea machine but it’s really easy to get her into these.  The snaps are only on one side and with the stretch you don’t have to work hard to get their squirming bodies into them.

Overall we had such a great weekend – it was PERFECT outside so we got to spend lots of time outdoors.

and I am finally working out again after a LENGTHY period of time off between bedrest and c-section recovery.  I was so nervois for my first Pure Barre class last week but it was great.  I am just doing doing all modified ab exercises for the most part still (keeping my feet on the floor instead of up in the air, putting the ball behind my back instead of laying flat and trying to roll all the way up.)

I know it’ll take some time to get my strength back especially from the bedrest and lack of any physical activity, but I’ve been doing something every day since last week even if it’s just a walk with the girls and I’m feeling like my old self again!
It gives me such a mental boost and makes me excited to have my workout time back because I really do love it.

A few fash-un items :

I ordered this tie neck top and it just arrived and I am in LOVE.
I love the neckline and that it is slightly longer in the back – it’s just such a flattering cut.
The sizes are selling fast (but keep re-stocking sizes throughout the day!), so snag it while ya can, because who knows when I’ll be able to get out of the house with Kip to take a legit outfit photo next…..

I’m also ordering these scalloped heels I thought about all week while they are still 50% off.
Such a deal – I hope they’re comfy!

Everything is 50% off sitewide at J.CrewFactory, too!
I feel like I need this scalloped tank (I have a ton of these tanks they’re great go-to’s!) and this dress, too.
I can never resist a scallop detail.
update: The tank and dress are actually 70% off! with promo code TOOGOOD.

A few things that could be Mother’s Day gifts : 

I am all about lazy self-care skin care.
Between the amount of time I spent in a tanning bed and the lack of sleep these past two months, I need all the help I can get!
I live for my satin pillowcase  (if you aren’t doing this yet WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?),
but this pillow I saw this week takes it to the next level!
TheNurse Jackie Beauty Pillow  makes it where your face doesn’t even TOUCH the pillow!
I’m so intrigued!

ALSO.  Just found this set of 2 Satin pillowcases for $15 on Target’s website.
um, YES PLEASE.  (also available on Amazon for fellow Prime addicts)

Have you heard of The Daily Stoic ?

I’ve been meaning to order this book off Amazon since I saw it on The Skinny Confidential’s instagram.
It seems like such a great way to start your morning!

My mom has been ordering the croissants from William Sonoma for years, and we had them for brunch both days this weekend. They are SO GOOD.  Sending these to your Mother in Law or any mom in your life would be such a nice treat.

You just take them out the night before from the freezer to let them rise overnight and then bake them off in the morning.  They are SO decadent and delicious.  Trader Joe’s makes freezer croissants too but the William Sonoma croissants really are perfect little bites of heaven.
They come in tons of different flavors now – in size classic and mini (the mini are really big!) and even have savory like ham and cheese and sweet like chocolate.  You can get a set with a bunch of different types to try, too!

I had this post prepped for Friday (and then Saturday and then Sunday)
so I’m just going to include some of the links I planned to include in Friday’s post! 
Hope you all have a great start to the week!!
