Going from a work environment in news that was extremely structured with constant deadlines and live shots to the slower pace of being home with twin babies... I thought this transition would be a walk in the park. Maybe I'd run into some minor issues but now I finally could get started and finish

Monday mornings used to mean live shots and deadlines. Now they mean spoonfeeding my twins at a restaurant for brunch 🩵 I left an almost 12-year career in TV news to build something that fits the life I want: flexible, meaningful, and mine. Some days that looks like courtroom coverage, but today it

The pigeons hatched on our balcony weeks ago and Bobby decided today - in this moment - while I am stressed out trying to get the apartment clean before we go away for a few days that this was time for a “meet the babies” moment 🐦 a complete 180 from someone who was not happy at the first sight of

If you’re trying to avoid added sugar for your little one, try a watermelon smash cake for their first birthday! 🍉🎂 We brought their high chairs from home that we use every day (only $25!) down to the beach because they’re SO easy to clean (and break down easily for the car). How cute are their “1”

A full course meal by Baba just in case there was a long wait at the DMV with twin babies. Immigrant parents are always prepared. #persian #baba #iran #dmv #food

I know we live on the beach……. but still. 😑🫠 Thank goodness Baba isn’t here to judge! #barefoot #rockawaybeach #twins #strollerwalk #saxophones

One year ago I met the two little boys who changed my life forever, but somehow it feels like I just brought them home. A whole year of Hudson & Caspian. Today you turn 1 and I realize time is the most beautiful heartbreak. This has been the fastest, fullest, most magical year of my life. 🤍 Thank y

Walking through Target on the day before my twins turn 1. One look at the newborn clothes and suddenly I’m emotional over tiny pajamas. My babies are still so little but not *that* little anymore. They don’t fit in the clothes I packed in their hospital bag. The ones I once thought looked so insane

Happy first Father’s Day to my husband Bobby 🩵 Watching you become a dad to Hudson and Caspian has been one of the most special parts of this first year. Becoming a parent is a beautiful experience, but it’s also exhausting, overwhelming, and nonstop (especially with twins) and I know how much you

Cut two watermelon smash cakes, coordinated my twins in two different matching outfits, ordered enough pizza and heroes and cake to feed 100 people yet somehow forgot to apply sunscreen on myself. #mommath #sunburn #ouch #1stbirthday #parents

They’re not even gonna remember this 💀😭🎂 #twins #birthday #beach #watermelon #parents

The fastest year of my life. Holding back tears writing this. My twins, my first babies, turn 1 so soon. Soaking it alllllll in 🎂 @Tilearcio Twins #twinmom #motherhood • #postpartum #milestone

Some babies in this city grow up with skyscrapers. Mine are growing up with salt air, beach walks, and the boardwalk breeze. Rockaway Beach, home to NYC’s only surfing beach. Your reminder that New York City is more than Manhattan. #rockawaybeach #queens #nyc #newyorkcity #beach

Keeping my twins’ 1st birthday party simple… so naturally, we invited over 100 people to celebrate on the beach 😂 This year’s party menu: lots of pizza pies, six-foot heroes, drinks, and sides. After planning my bridal shower, wedding and baby shower back-to-back within seven months and still recov

Last summer Baba thought we should be staying home more with our 5-week-old twins instead of bringing them to the beach, but Hudson and Caspian LOVE the fresh salt air, being outside, and spending summer by the ocean. This summer, Baba approves of the setup 😂 and with our @Shibumi Shade packing

What has worked for us:
🌊 It’s okay if they’re unsure at first 🌊 Start with their hands and feet
🌊 Make tiny splashes and keep your reaction happy
🌊 Never force them when they seem scared
🌊 Let them watch you and each other
🌊 Keep the first experiences short and positive
🌊 Expect the ocean to feel

Went to @homedepot for bins to store baby clothes… ended up storing a baby 🥰 Feeling so much more confident leaving home these days by myself with these little guys. And I don’t think I’ll ever get sick of the double take and “twins?!” comments 🩵🩵 #twinmom #homedepot #storage #storagebin

Thanks everyone for voting!! Really need to buy new dresses for this phase of my life #postpartum #twinmom
