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.

VA Vacation - Trip to the National Zoo

Now, unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of our trip to the zoo other than right at the entrance. I know, shame on me, I am usually sooooooo good about taking lots of pictures...unfortunately, as we strolled through the zoo and the various animal exhibits, rather than taking pictures, I spent most of the time chatting up life and catching up on old times with my sister-in-law Kim. Our lives and family lives keep both of us very busy so we're lucky to chat once or twice a year so spending some face-to-face time with her again in VA was a lot of fun! And, besides, all of you Twinsanity readers know what gorillas, panda bears, elephants, giraffes and the like look like so I know you're not going to be THAT disappointed that I don't post photos. Ha, ha.

The twins and I joined their Aunt Kim and their cousin Courtney, who is just 4 days older than Paige and Taylor, at the National Zoo in Washington DC.

The mode of transportation to the National Zoo was by the Metro transit - the twins and their cousin LOVED the speed of the Metro and especially liked when the train went into the dark tunnels.
