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.

Bragabout Friday

I can't remember the last time I posted a "Bragabout Friday" blog, and since I'm in the mood to do a little bragging on Paige and Taylor tonight, I figured why not. The twins are growing up so fast (right before our very eyes) and somedays I can't believe what truly wonderful little girls they are becoming. Today, we spent some time sitting at the dining room table painting - painting a child-sized porcelain china tea set. I snapped a couple of pictures along the way just to capture the memories of our moments painting together, but what I really enjoyed far more than painting with the twins was just sitting back and observing Paige and Taylor. How they sat side by side, so quietly, in a state of deep concentration as they painted together. How they would gently dip their brush in and out of the various paint colors and then carefully stroke their china tea pot, cups, plates with their brushes. How they focused on their painting and afterwards, how they beamed with pride at their artistic creations. I could go on and on about how simple moments like this can make me marvel at Paige and Taylor, can make me appreciate their little lives so much, can make me so happy to be their mom and can make me just want to brag about them all the time...
