Learning As I Go

Week 17 at Josh and Nicole's wedding, one week before our diagnosis. (pictured from left to right, Katie, soon-to-be Auntie Nicki, soon-to-be Auntie Kim, my babies momma and Jessie.)

My posse!

My husband Kevin and I have four children, under four! CRAZY..I know! Jake and Ben survived Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome/Intrauterine Growth Restriction and were born at 30 weeks weighing 1 pound, 13 ounces and 2 pounds, 13 ounces. They are happy, healthy, rambunctious four year olds now and keeping us very busy. When Jake and Ben were nine months old, we got pregnant with our gentle giant, Luke. Luke (who prefers to go by Lukey Bear) is now two years old. The three boys often get mistaken for triplets. When Lukey was 10 months old, we got pregnant with our little princess, Lana. Lana loves match box cars and baseballs...she fits right in with her three bros. She is now 14 months. Many people probably think we are crazy but we truly feel blessed and revel in the chaos.

About Me

I am a mother of four children. My husband and I were middle school sweethearts. We have been married for 8 years. I was a middle school teacher before I decided to stay home with with my twin boys. I have been a stay-at-home mom for four years. I am planning on going back to school to pursue a Holistic Nutrition degree from Hawthorne University when my youngest is in school. For the time being, I am enjoying my crazy days at home with my babies.

I had a life changing experience four years ago, when I became pregnant with my twin boys. After getting a grim diagnosis, my husband and I chose to research alternative/non-conventional methods to aid in their survival. Prayer, positive thinking and good nutrition saved my twins. This experience changed my outlook on life forever.

Since the birth of my twins, I have gained confidence and knowledge about nutrition and alternative health care. I certainly am not an expert. I am still a student and love learning. I have seen the power of diet changes, supplements, homeopathy, nutrition response testing, green living, and holistic health care work in my own home. I want to share what I have learned and hear about what others have learned.
