More on this later. But for now… I feel… CLEAN!

Hi, there, I’m Courtney. I never planned to stay home with my kids, but I got sucked into motherhood when my first baby came into our lives after years of infertility and multiple rounds of IVF. His brother followed closely behind, something we didn’t plan on after having such a rough road with achieving parenthood the first time around. My boys are IVF cycle twins, conceived on the same day but born two years and one day apart (they were both transferred on the same day in October, but with two years between them). My boys are the best of friends and my husband is a terrific husband, father, and most importantly… friend. He fully supported my desire to stay home (“I just wanted it to be your idea and not mine, I totally want you to stay home and raise our kids!”) and encourages me in everything I do. I am a lover of projects, spreadsheets, fitness, healthy cooking and eating, crafts, selling my stuff on FB (HA!), and the outdoors. If I’m active, I’m pretty darn happy!

Oh No!!!!
February 20, 2013 at 9:24 am
Oh yes!!!!

It can become too addictive ….
February 20, 2013 at 9:24 am
YES – and become a time suck. And a stressor.

And you wonder why someone hasn’t responded and do they still like you? Bit like a blog really…
February 20, 2013 at 4:19 pm
YES! Just like on FB!

This explains why my DM didn’t go through just now!
February 20, 2013 at 3:58 pm
Just email me… like old times 😉

Ah, I’ll miss ya there but understand… I give myself breaks from it a lot (maybe more out of circumstance and sheer busy-ness than choice) and that helps keep the balance. But you better still HERE!! 😉

The blog is going nowhere. I have NO ISSUES oversharing on my blog… well… that’s not true. I still don’t share private things between B and me – but you know what I mean!

Well I can’t say I blame you! As you know I’ve pretty much sworn off twitter myself except for the DMs. It’s just been… Too much. I think that what makes twitter unique (its off the cuff-ness – people just say what is on their minds in the moment) is a double edged sword. People tend to be less filtered and sometimes say things that they perhaps “shouldn’t.” Or about which they should at least think an extra moment or two. We tend to put so much thought into our blog posts, and twitter is just the opposite. And it shows. It’s almost like a very public conversation and that’s just kind of awkward.

Yes – the instantness of twitter is scary to me. I don’t know how many times I’ve gone back and deleted tweets of my own!

LOL, I’ve never deactivated, though I do randomly step away for 6-12 months at a time. 🙂 It just gets to be too much sometimes, though I do love the instant gratification of getting ahold of you ladies. I guess I’ll just have to text you now. 🙂
February 20, 2013 at 4:00 pm
Text away!
February 20, 2013 at 11:39 am
Thank god I have your phone number….Like Josey, I’ll just have to text or email you. BTW expect an email soon…have a couple of things I wanted your opinion on! Thanks! And I’m glad you feel clean…good for doing what you feel is right for you!

Feel free to text any time. And honestly, I wish I’d texted you rather than use Twitter when checking in with you last week. It just seems… more personal. Who ever thought I’d say that texting was personal? Ha!
Send me that email!
February 20, 2013 at 4:49 pm
Hahaha… texting is more personal. How our world has changed. 🙂

Good move! I’ve always drawn the line at Twitter… I just don’t need yet ANOTHER outlet to obsess over my social connections with people…
February 20, 2013 at 4:06 pm
YES. And obsess is exactly it.

I saw this and your next post right after. I agree in so many ways, although I don’t feel ready to leave Twitter necessarily (it’s all my bloggy friends!). I’ve been pairing down FB a lot lately for this same reason. I love the connection you made to Paleo, too– I’m reading Simplicity Parenting and doing paleo and trying to throw out most of the junk in my house and I still feel like my brain is consumed by my computer and iPhone all day long but I don’t feel ready to part with it. Ugh! So much to think about. Anyways, I have your email ❤

I could never part with my phone or computer, and saying that makes me feel like a bad mother – but it’s true!
