I’m a Mom First

When I learned I was pregnant with twins, I was thrilled and overwhelmed, unsure of what to expect. The excitement was mixed with a bit of apprehension—could I handle two babies at once?

My pregnancy came with its challenges; at 23 weeks, I was put on bed rest due to intrauterine growth restriction. My uterus wasn’t growing, but my twins were! Thankfully, after all the ups and downs, I welcomed two healthy (and wonderfully energetic) babies into the world.

Motherhood hasn’t stopped me from pursuing a career in blogging. I work while they sleep, and when they’re awake, I’m on full-time mom duty. And here’s the thing—I know you can do this too! It’s entirely possible to grow a blog, build services, and create products that allow you to earn a sustainable income, all while being the best mom you can be.
