Excited to have a conversation with an academic partner from South Africa tomorrow… if you could do any international work/research in South Africa what would it be? #brainstorming @nasponline @burnsmk1 @EricaLembke @cmonique1023 @TPLaSalle @jkellyphd @SchoolPsychLife @DrDVega

@SchoolPsychLife So sorry I missed you in KC!! Love watching all of the amazing work you are doing! #superhero

Today I had my first meeting about tenure and all of the things I need to do… it was a bit overwhelming after only getting 3 hours of sleep bc of these two but I still could not get enough snuggles and kisses from my #twins when I got home! #twinmomlife #tenuretrack

Hate and fear of people who are not like you… that is the name of the game in Missouri politics. What happened to the purple state I used to live in? @MoDemParty need to do better & get rid of this supermajority. It’s not impossible but will take a change in strategy & verbiage

[Riverfront Times @RFTimes]

Missouri is disgusting. https://t.co/qAwr5HWKdg

Being pregnant with a high-risk twin pregnancy in #Missouri has been extremely scary! Why?

Bc this is the current status of women’s healthcare in MO!! (A pic from my obs exam room taken yesterday). Need I say more?

Difficult #MorhersDay weekend! Missed my doctoral graduation #twinpregnancy and missing my mom who left us 8 months ago (just 3 months before we found out we were pregnant). #bittersweet

Taking some time for myself and finding solace in my amazing family today. 💕💔

Growing two humans is way different than growing one! When I was 20 weeks pregnant with my singleton I wasn’t even showing… but with two the bump is on full display! 🤣🤰 #babybumplove #twinpregnancy #20weekspregnant #boygirltwins
