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.

Shucking Corn

Shucking corn. An interesting topic, don't you think? Well, let's get right to it then.

There are gadgets for removing the silks of corn. There are gadgets for holding the ears. There are gadgets for separating the kernels form the cob. There are gadgets for buttering the corn. There are gadgets for steaming, grilling as well as pressure cooking corn. There are even posters of people shucking corn at Amazon.com.

But, let’s face it. Isn’t the only really useful gadget for shucking corn the good ol’ fashion way – with little ones who are young enough to be convinced that it’s a lot of fun to shuck corn?!

With just the right motivation, little ones can shuck a whole heck of a lot of corn. If you’re a fan of the more conventional way of shucking corn, well just check out Paige and Taylor shucking (and dancing) with their corn this past weekend with their grandparents. And, while we won’t be trying to make any posters out of their experiences shucking corn like Amazon.com, we will do a little shameless plug right here on Twinsanity of just how great these little twins are at shucking corn!!!!


Finally, to get in the spirit of it, let me help you get that popular children's tune in your head: "Jim Crack Corn - I Don't Care, Jim Crack Corn - I Don't Care..."

Taylor - A Heap More Frolicking Than Corn Shucking Getting Done.

Paige - No Sitting Down and Shucking It Out for Her.

Paige Is Aw' Shucks.

Taylor Making A Pile of Corn This High...

Taylor - "All Them Purty Girls Will Be There Shuckin' Corn..."

Paige - You Ever Seen Such Shucking Corn?!

If There Is Such A Thing As A Corn Shuckers Dance, Taylor Has It Down.
