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.

Easter Eggs - Yes, It's A Do & A Dye

Today, we did our first Easter egg dyeing project with Paige and Taylor. It was somewhat of a nostalgic moment for me. As I stood in the kitchen with both girls preparing the eggs and stirring the dyes, I found myself remembering a time, many years ago, when I too once stood with my mother in our kitchen as a small child dyeing Easter eggs. Ahhh, the memories of my own childhood and today, the new memories I'm creating with my own children...it's a pretty special feeling!

While our eggs didn't turn out to be priceless works of art, the fun we had together certainly was priceless! Since we're still a couple of weeks out from Easter, I'm sure we'll be doing this little project again and again as we lead up to Easter...after all, the eggs only keep for so long before you just have to toss 'em; so, it's pretty likely that in a couple days, we'll be doing and dyeing more Easter eggs at our house. Here are just a few pictures I took today as the girls stood at the counter stirring their dye and coloring their eggs.
