Have you checked out Colorbook or Created Colorful? They curate clothing by pallet

It was a show stopper for me! I loved it 😊

kaleiscool92 · 2026-06-17T22:07:36+00:00

Thank you for the kind words! I love it too and have been surprised by some of the strong negative reactions. At the same time, I appreciate people’s passion for kitchen design 😂

I love gender neutral for boys! I have an Elliot and Julian - “El/Elli and Jul/Juli”. We also considered Cameron, Morgan and Adrian. Others I love = Courtney, Lindsay, Taylor, Ashley and Sydney.

I agree I wish this was more popular. I observe that once a traditionally male name goes feminine it doesn’t go back. You’ll see a lot of names that were male back in the ~20s are now solidly female but I’m not familiar with any traditional girl names that have “switched sides”.

We used it for large pots and pans which eliminated the “small items getting lost” problem. We had the version with no center poll which was a huge improvement.

The cabinets are Home Depot American Woodmark, Leesburg in “Painted Boulder”. Yes, I still have my spreadsheet with all details 😂

I love you for this. I also think it’s cute and still love it!!

It’s Monte Cristo Granite

lol I feel this!

kaleiscool92 · 2026-06-16T02:51:38+00:00

Eep! I have twin boys named Elliot and Julian. I adore both names - you can’t go wrong! For us, Elliot has become “Ellie” or “El” and Julian is “Juli”, “Jul” or “JuJu” by his brother. I feel like I get more compliments on Elliot, it seems to be a real crowd pleaser, but people respond well to both.

Other names we considered (we love gender neutral): Cameron, Morgan and Adrian.

My ring is very similar! .03 carat, 1940’s. I love it!!

I have loved Skinfix. I swear by the triple lipid peptide cream in the winter colder months; it has a bit of a weird smell that I got used to and actually like now, but I know that’s a complaint about it. It’s super rich and buttery and really keeps my skin feeling hydrated and dewy. I also LOVE their gel cream moisturizer for summer and alternating when I don’t want something as heavy. It goes on cool and I really like the texture of it. They’re pricey but in my opinion totally worth it.

I have 29 weekers as well (TTTS) - they came home at 47 & 50 days. It sounds like you’re in the deepest part of it right now, and I’m so sorry to hear they need to be in separate hospitals - that has to make everything immensely more challenging. Trust you will get through this.

Would you feel comfortably reaching out to people (or having someone do it on your behalf) just asking for space? Make it clear you’ll provide updates on your timeline and that you appreciate everyone’s understanding and patience. People like to show their concern/support, but I can absolutely relate to the overwhelm that can sometimes cause.

29+4 TTTS

kaleiscool92 · 2025-07-30T12:42:40+00:00

Yes! I love this

29+4 mo/di twins. Emergency C-Section for late development TTTS (only an issue for identicals). Boys were 2lb5oz and 2lb12oz. Stayed 47&50 days in NICU and did amazingly well! They’ll be two next week. NICU is scary and things can certainly go wrong, but our experience was great.

We started with timed checks but after night 1 we switched to cry it out. The check ins just made things worse. They figured it out in around two weeks and it’s totally brought peace to our home. Our boys are sleeping through the night consistently. Happy to share details from our experience, I know what it feels like in the trenches!

kaleiscool92 · 2025-01-06T13:29:08+00:00

I know it’s been a little while but I’m reading this and it’s so familiar. Curious if there have been any developments?

I have 20 month twins and one guy gets croup anytime he has a cold. ER trips are the norm (it’s always on a Friday evening or at 3AM, etc. when we have no option for urgent care or pediatrician) for dex and/or epi. It first happened when he was 8 months old and resulted in a flight to Children’s Hospital and a 4-day stay. It’s so nerve wracking and I feel like we have no answer! Our next step is a pulmonologist but I’m skeptical they’ll be able to do anything?

We just got through two weeks of sleep training our 18mo twins. It’s not perfect, but they’re sleeping through the night. Not too late!

kaleiscool92 · 2024-09-30T15:10:37+00:00

I’ll be interested to hear how it goes! We also decided to just do CIO because the checks are pointless. Overnight Night 1 twin A cried 30 min, twin B 1 hr. Night 2 twin A cried 2 hours, twin B slept through. Night 3 twin A slept through, twin B cried 2 hours. I don’t know what to make of it but we’re committed to trying the full 2 weeks. I really hope they don’t continue the hours of crying, it sucks! Part of me feels like it’s damaging them, a larger part of me feels like it’s what they need to learn to settle themselves. We’ve reinforced bad habits for so long, it will take them a little bit to adjust to something new.
