I’m a twin mom, caffeinated, exhausted, and here to tell it like it is. No filter.☕️
Hi friends
And welcome back to Twinly Honest
Let the chaos begin…
—
✨There was a moment recently that I keep replaying in my head.
One of those moments you don’t think will happen to you… until it does.
And it happened fast. Too fast.
Like I didn’t even have time to think before it was already over.
✨And I was right there.
That’s the part that keeps getting me.
I was right there… and I still couldn’t stop it.
I didn’t get there fast enough.
I didn’t react fast enough.
And for a second, my mind went straight to
how did I not catch that?
I know things happen. I do.
But in that moment none of that mattered.
✨All I could think was…
I’m their mom. I’m supposed to protect them.
And I couldn’t.
And that feeling?
It stuck with me more than I expected.
because it made me realize something I don’t think I was ready to fully accept yet
✨Sometimes I can’t protect them from everything.
Even when I’m right there.
Even when I’m trying my best.
And having twins makes that feel even heavier sometimes.
Because there are going to be moments where they both need me at the same time…
and I can only move so fast.
I can only be in one place at once.
And that’s hard.
Because no mom wants to feel like she wasn’t enough in a moment that mattered.
✨But I’m learning
being a good mom doesn’t mean stopping everything from happening.
It doesn’t mean catching every fall or preventing every moment.
It means showing up after.
Holding them.
Comforting them.
Checking on them over and over again just to be sure.
And loving them through it.
✨Because if I’m being honest…
that’s what I did.
I was there after.
I didn’t walk away from it.
And I won’t.
Because at the end of the day…
none of us get every moment right.
We just keep showing up.
Even in the moments we wish we could redo.
And right now… I really wish i could redo that moment…
