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.

A Sugary Good Day

Today, the twins ventured to the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield, California, located about an hour north of San Francisco.

What a sugary day it was! Paige and Taylor got to see where more than 150 different sweet treats get cooked up daily. They enjoyed seeing the legendary Jelly Belly jelly beans and discovering other yummy, gummy candies in the Jelly Belly Sweet Shop.

And, of course, we didn’t forget to pick up a few bags of the infamous Belly Flops. To complete our visit to the Sweet Shop, the twins each got a plush “Mr. Jelly Belly” toy and their very own “Jelly Belly” purse filled with Jelly Belly beans! Their grandma, visiting from Virginia, also joined the twins today on their tour of the Jelly Belly Factory.


Be sure to check out the slideshow above...you'll see just how much fun Paige and Taylor had today eating jellybeans, exploring the factory and shopping at the Jelly Belly Sweet Shop.
