Welcome!

Welcome to my blog - it's like a diary only better. This is my soapbox containing a collection of my thoughts and the experiences of my life raising twins.

Prior to this blog, prior to marriage and prior to the twinsanity that I now call my life, life was quite different for me. When you visit this blog, you won’t find me writing much about my life pre-twins – I hope that’s okay. Why? You ask. Because life with twins changes everything and my life pre-multiples is now just a dizzy, distant memory. And while it’s true that life years ago may have been a little more glamorous, the life I live now is a whole lot more rewarding and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

I’m glad you’ve stopped by...there’s a really strong chance that I won’t offer anything extraordinary here, but by the same token there is also the possibility that you will experience a taste of the adventures, challenges and many joys that come with my life with twins. Hopefully that will be enough to bring you back here again.

All Things in Moderation & That Includes the Pumpkin Pie.

Watching your weight this holiday season?

Click the "Think Thin Thursday" banner on your right and join some of us on our quest to not eat everything in sight this year! With Thanksgiving coming in just 4 more days, what better timing than this simple little reminder to think positive and think yourself thin on Thursday. I don't know about you, but I know I'm going to be wanting to fit into the same pair of cute skinny jeans on Friday that I'll be wearing on Thursday at the Thanksgiving dinner table....

Think Thin Thursday. Yep, I could use this little reminder. I often find myself "dieting" before the holidays so that I can then totally indulge myself for a couple weeks (within reason), beginning with Thanksgiving, continuing through holiday parties and finally ending with Christmas. Then, as in past years, I would just hit the gym for a couple weeks really hard right after the holiday season is over and wham bam, I'm good. Well, this year, I've decided that I'm going to take the "all things in moderation" approach through the holiday season and not just so I don't feel guilty for indulging in all the excesses of the holiday season but so that I remain healthy and energized. And, isn't that really the best way to spend the holidays anyways?! Healthy and full of energy.
