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.

Gold Rush Days in Old Town Sacramento

More than 200 tons of dirt were dumped on the streets of Old Sacramento as the 10th Annual Gold Rush Festival turned back the clock, transforming Sacramento's historic district into a scene straight out of the 1850s. Costumed re-enactors, Wild West gun fights, musicians playing period instruments, and many aspects of life during the Gold Rush were among the highlights.

Today, daddy took Paige and Taylor to experience the Wild West at the Gold Rush Festival. Mike tells me that the twins could have cared less about the gun fights in the corral, the militia drills on horseback and the soldiers' camps, but they sure did love the lollipops that were handed out at the festival and the old schoolhouse where they sat in antiquated little school desks and colored with chalk on chalkboards.
