-The girls are back after a long break. They both went home to visit family for the holidays and have a lot to catch up on.
Mom brain mush:
-Christmas tracking app called “gift list” has changed Megan’s life and has helped her keep track of ideas and stay on a budget.
-Jazmin’s go-to gift is making shutterfly calendars for her mom and mother-in-law each year and they are a hit!
-Megan is prepping for Christmas with twin toddlers. She is drowning in sensory bin supplies to create endless sensory bin combinations to gear up for a long midwest winter.
-The girls talk about how satisfying it is to find a deal on Facebook Marketplace or at the thrift store and talk about some of their recent finds.
-Chatbook monthly mini’s are such a fun way to document and PRINT photos. Also Megan's toddlers love looking at them!
-Jazmin brings up the pressure to buy everything during the holiday season. When did black Friday turn into a month-long event?
-Jazmin and Megan are going minimalistic on their Christmas Decor this year to save money and their sanity.
-Jazmin recently purchased some Kaxi “hold everything” Clippies that she has had her eye on for a while. Yes you have to call them clippies!
-Are family matching jammies cringe/ a waste of money? Megan thinks so…..
Public comments:
-Old Navy cashier asks Jazmin if she meant to buy matching outfits in the exact same size. Twin probs.
-Guy on airplane wouldn’t sit by Megan because he “actually had to get a lot of work done” Struggles of flying on a plane with 2 lap children and not being able to sit in the same row.
-Wherever you are you see twins or people who have twins (or triplets) EVERYWHERE. Instant bond with twins or twin parents.
Jazmin survived her first flight with twins and both flights went really well with just 1 blowout. Because of a delayed flight she had to board the flight without pumping and then found herself asking flight attendants if there was an outlet she could use to pump on the plane. Finally a helpful flight attendant found Jazmin an outlet and she pumped in an empty middle seat between two strangers.
