I swore when I saw the positive test. Our third pregnancy came as quite a shock and put us on track to have three under three this summer. It took me a few days to get over the initial shock and thoughts of “How are we going to handle three under three?!” Before I started telling my husband how much fun it is that we get to experience a surprise pregnancy and have a small age gap again.

Am I the only one who wonders HOW unplanned pregnancies happen? After several years of successfully using natural family planning, I thought I was invincible. But I’m sharing ALL the details!

Did you know you can thrift shop online these days?! I heard of online thrift stores like thredUp for the first time a few years ago, but I was sceptical. I thought wandering around touching things and trying clothes on was an essential part of the process.

Maybe we can chalk it up to another way motherhood has changed me, but I no longer like going into stores. I'm serious. I don't even go to the store for groceries anymore! I've been placing curbside pickup orders since my daughter was born, and I LOVE it.

Life seems to be constantly changing, and do my Bible-reading routines. It looked different when pregnant with my first, as a new mom, with two-under-two and now with a toddler and baby in my care. Sometimes, I miss those days of unstructured quiet time where each precious second of quiet didn’t feel quite so urgent.

The busier life gets, the harder it feels to prioritize reading the Bible in rare moments when both my kids are occupied. If I have a moment to sit, or I could be working on a household task, choosing the Bible feels hard and unproductive.

In this post, I’m sharing 5 ways to entertain your toddler as you try to grab a few moments in God’s word.

As a huge fan of our 15-month age gap, I’m here to share a message of hope along with my favourite tips and tricks and advice to transition well into life with two-under-two. I know you can manage a baby and a toddler and enjoy motherhood even in this busy season as a two under two mom. There are many ways to make life easier and tips you must have as you make the jump.

About a year ago, my search history looked like this:

“Pros and cons of the 15-month age gap?”

“What is the best age gap?”

“Two under two tips”

It feels surreal being on the other side of the transition and able to share my own experience as a two-under-two mom. Spoiler alert - we love our small age gap. I highly recommend having your kids as close as you want to and are able to!
