Hey friends!
I haven’t really done a life update here on Truncation… ever (except for maybe when I took a break last August).
Don’t worry, I’m still planning on regularly posting, so this isn’t that kind of update.
I just thought I would share with you guys what we’re up to these days.
First of all, the twins turned six months old on the 13th!! I seriously can’t believe they are half a year old.
Sometimes I still look at them and am overwhelmed with shock that I have two babies.
They are at such a fun age! Seriously. They laugh and coo all of the time, are starting to be more mobile, and just love every member of our little household (including Oscar).
We’re going to be starting them on solids in the next month and I’m excited to see how that goes… but also a little bit dreading it because I remember how much work it was with Kit and to do it with two babies is going to be a full time job!
Kit is becoming more and more active and so much more talkative. She has so much to say about everything and I just love hearing what she comes up with! Plus she’s so much more independent in her play which makes my life a million times easier.
All in all though, this summer has been such a chill summer and it’s been so good. We didn’t travel at all, and I’m completely cool with that (hopefully next summer though).
Honestly, we needed a summer like this one after the crazy summer of moving/searching for a house/being pregnant with twins that was last summer.
It’s been fun having a bit more time to pour into Truncation as well. I’ve enjoyed getting back in the saddle and spending more time with you guys again. I missed doing that when I was pregnant.
I’ve also really enjoyed adding a video component to the content I’m sharing with you guys, which leads me to the new schedule change I have planned.
I think I’m going to attempt to do two videos per week and two blog posts per week. I’m not 100% committing just because I want to see how it goes, but that’s my loose plan.
So starting next week, I’m going to give that plan a try and we’ll see how it goes together!
Also, I have a pretty big blog post scheduled for Wednesday. We’re going to be revisiting an old topic that is dear to my heart and talking about some changes moving forward so stay tuned for that!
Lots to look forward to (I hope)!
Now it’s your turn… I’d love to hear life updates from you guys! Especially those of you who haven’t commented in a while, I want to know what you’ve been up to! Let me know in the comments below okay?
Until next time,

Exciting times Karin! Glad to hear that you’re enjoying sweet summertime. 🙂
Also, have you ever heard of baby-led weaning? Not sure how you introduced solids with Kit, but I know with my oldest I made purees and it was SO MUCH work. Haha. With our youngest however I was fortunate enough to have been introduced to the idea of baby-led weaning and can NOT say enough good things about it! I’d be happy to share more in our experiences with it, or reference an awesome book I read about it — but don’t want to blabber on if you’ve already heard about it. 🙂
Thanks Laura! I HAVE heard of it and I have a feeling we’ll go down that route eventually… the ONLY reason I’m wanting to try purees first is that formula is so stinking expensive that it would be nice to get the girls to start filling up on purees so they’re drinking less milk. 🙂 What book did you read though? I’m curious to do more research about it!
I second baby led weaning. We also did it with our second and it was so much easier and made more sense. Babies are fed older now and are capable! I read the baby led weaning book and cookbook ( found at the library).
I’m interested in the cookbook! See my comment to Laura above…
Your girls are all so adorable. I love their faces in the picture of you all in bed.
What’s new: we are about 3 weeks from moving into our house that we just remodeled (first floor including kitchen and new paint throughout. It’s truly like a new house!) yay!
Also new: yesterday my husband sent me a link to a 25 acre property and said he’s 100% serious and we should look at it and consider buying it. We tried to find property exactly like this one 4 years ago and nothing was available then. (Face palm since we just spent a fortune redoing our house {it needed it but OI}. So, I’m essentially planning a dream house in my head, and a gorgeous 6 stall barn for my future horse(s).
That’s pretty much what consumes my life these days, renovations and playing chauffeur for dentist/orthodontist/doctor appointments.
Thanks Andrea! That’s so exciting to have your house remodeled! I can’t wait to do that with ours. And what a cool thing to have 25 acres! Would you do anything with it or is just for recreational purposes?
Sounds like a lot to have on your mind!
