  • This little chunker has started eating solids and we’re having so much fun with it! 😬 Trying different flavours and textures and all the funny faces he makes when he tries something new. 😂 We did more of a baby led weaning approach with the twins so we’re doing the same thing with him! And just because I think it would be fun to know, what was the first solid you gave your babe?! For both the twins and Everest it was Avacado. 🥑😊 . . P.S. We’re just loving our highchair cover and mat from @yeahbabygoods and if you use coupon code: NATALIEYOUNG15 you can get 15% off your order! 😬
  • Just love these babes of mine. 💗 I feel like we’re always trying to find that balance on the weekends of being somewhat productive (crossing things off our home to-do list, grocery shopping and other errands for the week etc.,) but also trying to enjoy all the family time and do fun outings together and such while my husband is home. Some weekends I feel like we nail it and go into the week feeling recharged but also organized and ready to take on Monday 👊🏼 and other weekends it feels like chaos and like we need another whole day to recover from the busyness. 🙈 It’s just life I suppose. 🤔 But I’m curious to know...how do you all do a typical weekend? Do you have a particular day dedicated to getting stuff done 👊🏼(when you do groceries and such?) and a day where you chill and spend down time with the family? Or is it a mix of both all weekend? 😬
  • I count it as such a privilege that on a regular basis I have people reach out on here who have also experienced miscarriage, still birth, infant loss or know someone who has. Every time I respond to another message and have the opportunity to speak life or encouragement into another mama’s hurting and broken heart, it’s just confirmation to me that the Lord was up to something good when He allowed our daughter Paisley to be taken from us. That might sound strange, I know. And while none of it made sense at the time, and we were completely broken, forced to navigate our way through such a dark season in life 😥(not just with our own individual grief but also facing one of the hardest seasons in our marriage as well), making the decision to trust that the Lord had a plan in all of it and could use our pain for his Glory was the best decision we’ve ever made. It’s been the coolest thing to see Him constantly at work and it’s become so evident that He had planned to make Paisley’s short and precious life so incredibly meaningful. . It’s often so hard to see past the brokenness we feel when we’re going through crappy seasons in life. When we find ourselves stuck in the desert. When we feel like God can’t possibly be there if He’s allowing us to suffer so immensely. But He is, my sweet friend. He is. Faith is believing in things we can’t see and trusting that the Lord can use our pain and brokenness for good even though in the moment it hurts. So bad. And this beautiful blessing I’m holding right here 👆🏼 is our constant reminder to trust Him through it all. Because we wouldn’t have him if we hadn’t lost P but I know without a doubt he was meant to be apart of our family here on earth. We talk about this with the twins all the time...while we all can’t wait to see Paisley again some day, God sure knew what He was doing when He gave us Everest. ❤️
  • “These are the days” says the little man who doesn’t seem to think sleep is necessary in life. 🤦🏼‍♀️ Yup. This mama has been surviving with alllllll the coffee these days and while I love coffee and all, a little more sleep would be nice too. 🤔He’s lucky he’s so cute and loveable, that’s all I can say. 😍 But for real, hit me up with any tips for getting your 6 month old to sleep longer stretches through the night and also nap longer than 20 min stretches through the day. 🙈You’d think I’d be an expert after managing twins the first time around but nope! 😂
  • 6 months old and most photos of him these days are a blur because that’s how active this kiddo is. He never stops moving! 🙈😂 Everest has been developing so much personality lately, I just love this stage so much! He smiles at us (and everyone for that matter) all day long, he has the ticklish little toes and the most curious little soul. But it honestly feels like he’s 6 months going on 2 years. 🙉 It’s funny how different each of your children can be and I think I’m more intrigued by noticing the differences because the twins have always been very much the same. 🤔But for starters, Everest is wearing the same clothes they did at 18 mo. 😂 and he’s almost crawling at 6 when the twins scooted around on their belly’s for months. I always wonder who each of my boys will be when they grow up. I can’t wait to watch them all grow into young men with unique personalities and differences. The joys of being a mama. 😍
  • I just love my little boy tribe. They’re my entire world and I’m just so thankful that God has chosen me to raise them. ❤️😭 Sidenote: I hope Brycey still snuggles up with his arm around me like that 15 years down the road when I ask for a photo with them. Just sayin. 😍😍
  • Hope your week is off to a great start friends! In case you missed it in my stories yesterday, I have finally launched my first preset package! 😬 The link to my shop where you can purchase them is in my profile and you can see some before and afters for both presets in my story highlights above 👆🏼. Thanks for all the love and support you guys!! So excited to hear you all have been just as excited about them as I was to get them to you!! 😘
  • My sweet sweet boy is growing so fast. Can’t believe we’re getting close to the 6 month mark already! I love wearing my babes so much but it was such a challenge with the twins because every time I would get one all strapped in and comfy, the other needed to be fed or picked up. So I remember giving up on it at some point along the way. 🤔Any other twin mamas relate?! Experiencing a single baby is so so different for me for so many reasons but I’m loving every moment of it. 😍And if I’m going to be an all boy mama, I’ll wear him in pink as I please thank you. 😉Even if it does mean telling people 103847 times “no it’s actually a boy.” 🙈 It’s totally worth it. If you haven’t yet, you have to check out the new modal slings over at @mywildbird! I’m completely in love with the feel of this material! 💗
  • Holidays are the best but there are always one million things to catch up on when you get home. 🙈 So that’s what we’ve been up to all day. Catching up on laundry, on cleaning, on emails, on work, oh and on Big Brother of course! 😉 And the whole time wishing I was still snuggled up with the fam in our hotel room at @ictorontocentre ordering room service. 😬❤️ Dreaming of our next adventure already. (Because that’s we call holidays with kids now, “adventures.” 😜) #intercontinentallife #centreofthe6ix #summerfamilypackage
