Living With Purpose
This week I get to keep featuring amazing mamas and their TTTS stories! (Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome for anyone new! You can read more about it here.) I’m just going to go ahead and admit that I’m a little biased about this story, because Peyton and Addison live nearby and I get to spend […]

Today I am sharing the story of Barbra and her twins, who are both TTTS angels. To tell her story, Barbra provided her journal entries from her pregnancy. It is a very sad story and a reminder of why it is so important that we continue to raise awareness and fight for a cure! June […]
I mentioned in my last TTTS Tuesday that I wanted to highlight some of the TTTS Mothers who have taken their loss and turned it into something amazing. I highlighted Andrea and her project to collect Molly Bears for moms with empty arms. After I lost Kathryn I started looking into support groups on Facebook. […]
Grief is a funny thing. Not ha ha funny, obviously, but in the way it impacts us. My loyal readers know that I am no stranger to grief, having lost my own daughter one year ago on the 12th. So when this absolutely mindblowing and incomprehensible act happened on the 14th, I was already in […]
Since it is December 11th and yesterday was Tiny’s (and Kathryn’s) first birthdays, and tomorrow is the one year anniversary since we lost Kathryn, I thought this was a great Tuesday to feature my own battle with TTTS. Our daughters are monochorionic-diamniotic (Mo/Di) twins – one placenta, two sacs. Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS) […]

Today my friend Jennifer shares the story of her journey with TTTS, of love, and loss. Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome has taken so much from so many people. But Jennifer continues to be amazingly positive, happy, and dedicated to her surviving twin. I hope you will read and share her story. Awareness saves lives! […]
First off – since TTTS and Preemies seem to go hand in hand, I have an announcement! For anyone who signed the petition for the March of Dimes to “Light the White House Purple” in honor of the 75th Anniversary of the March of Dimes – we got enough signatures! Yay! And… even more importantly: […]
Today Shasta tells about her TTTS experience with her twin sons Benjamin and JD. Her story makes me laugh a little because we also had two kids and decided to have another baby and were surprised to find out we had #3 and #4 in there! Thankfully Shasta has double survivors, but that does not […]

It’s Election Day! I hope everyone will take the time to get out and VOTE! Today’s TTTS Tuesday is a story that is very close to my heart. I feel so many of the same emotions and sentiments that Brooke describes in her story. Brooke also lost one of her twins, and when I look […]
Our thoughts and prayers are with all of those impacted by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Sandy! Today we share my friend Brandi’s story. Her sons Brady and Brenden are thankfully both with us, but it was a difficult journey none the less! She also had an anterior placenta and had the surgery. (For those of you […]
