Mumming Like A Duchess

I have long admired the sophisticated style and grace of Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge. Whenever the royal family would make public appearances, she would always look so calm while tending to her two toddlers. So while looking at photos of Pippa Middleton's wedding, it was fun seeing her get real while she played the role of mom to the children in the wedding entourage. It made me think, Wow she's also capable of losing her patience. She's a normal mom just like me! I mean look...

Dear Kate Middleton's Hair

Dear Kate Middleton's Hair,

Let me start by saying I'm such a huge fan of yours. Twice after your owner, The Duchess of Cambridge gave birth, you still managed to stay glossy and voluminous. I remember your photos from Prince George's christening three months after The Duchess gave birth to him. You were thick and bouncy. Meanwhile, at three months post-partum, I started falling in clumps. There was even one time when my owner, Starter Mama counted more than 100 hair strands lost in a day. Because of this hair-induced heartache, I got cut from armpit length to nape length.

Our twins, Antonino and Audrey turned 5 months last week! It was also my first Mother's Day. So in honor of these milestones, I would like to share 8 items which helped us survive our first few months of twin parenting.

My Wish List For All Mothers This Mother's Day

Last year, I had no idea I was already pregnant when I celebrated Mother's Day with my family. Now, I'm a mom of twins celebrating my first Mother's Day! It's exciting to be on the receiving end of this holiday for the first time. But, in the spirit of giving, I also came up with a list of 7 things I wish for every mom this Mother's Day. Here it is:

Let's All Unite This Mother's Day

Mom judging has become so common these days. We constantly compare even with strangers online how we do things differently and better than others. It's like there's a worldwide competition for the title of best mom. All this judging and comparing can really bring moms down and this should stop. To do my part, I submitted an article to Smart Parenting titled, "So What If I Live In My Leggings? Stop Judging, Start Supporting."  It's about 5 things moms are often judged for and the reasons why we should stop judging and start supporting each other. I hope you can give the article a read. Mother's Day is coming up and it's the perfect occasion for us moms to unite and remind each other what a good job we're doing. 

Dressing Babies For Summer

One thing I was looking forward to when I found out I was pregnant with twins was dressing them up in cute matching onesies. But when Audrey and Antonino came out, I realized that when dressing babies, cute and stylish take a backseat to practical and efficient.
