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.
What's Wrong with California?
What's wrong with California? That question is both literal and rhetorical. I happened upon an interesting book this week and perhaps you've heard of it: "What's The Matter with California?" by Jack Cashill.
It's a question I've asked myself many, many times (too many times actually) since moving to California 7 years ago so naturally, the book's catchy title struck a definite chord with me. 
According to some of the book's reviews, Cashill is said to do America a "true service by exposing the decay of the country's most dysfunctional state." (I will have to reserve some judgement on that sentiment until digging further into the book, but I imagine that's spot-on...)It is interesting though isn't it?! The country's most dysfunctional state. I never thought of California in just those terms, but that description does give me a moment of pause...and, I have a feeling I'm going to like this book! P.S. Obviously, the book has absolutely nothing to do with twins and zilch to do with childrearing making it yet another reason that I'll likely enjoy the book. Ah, yes, an escape into a genre not dealing with kids and/or parenting...how nice this read will be!
