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.

Happy Halloween!

Someday the twins will discover that it's fun to be a little different and fun to dress differently too; but for now, it's monkey see, monkey do. Or, in this case, mermaid see, mermaid do. Yes, both of the girls wanted to be mermaid princesses for Halloween this year. I thought (and even hoped) that they might each want to be their own character and had even explored and encouraged the girls to think about each of them being something different, but as with so many other experiences in our daily lives, whatever one of the girls has, the other one wants to be/have the exact same. I was able to convince each of the girls to have their own unique trick 'r treat bag - woooohooo, something...at least one thing...to distinguish them this Halloween! So, drum roll please....the big reveal of twin mermaids, Paige and Taylor! (Be sure to check out additional photos in the above slide show)

Here we are in all of our fabulousness!
Let's go trick 'r treating.
Got shopping-sized bags. Will acquire lots of candy.
It's a great day to be princesses!
Taylor strikes a pose.

Dress up. Isn't it fun!

Oh, snap. Divas. Yes, that's what we are!

On the move. This is the typical shot. Usually I'm chasing after them rather than facing them.

Paige strikes a pose.

This crown is for me?!

Mmmmm....chocolate!
