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.

Winter - California Style


This past week, we got the winter gear out and hit one of Lake Tahoe’s best ski parks for kids. Paige and Taylor’s “Poppa” from Virginia was visiting and Paige and Taylor wanted to make sure they showed “Poppa” a real fun time – California style. So, we did one of the coolest things that winter in Northern California has to offer – we headed to the mountains of the Sierra Nevada’s to spend an afternoon enjoying snowmobile sleigh rides, snow tubes and riding a very cool snow carousel!

It was an awesome day; one I won’t soon forget. The twins won’t either…they are still talking about their day in the snow! Paige and Taylor got to do it all – climb and play on a snow volcano mountain, ride on the tube snow carousels as well as slide, skid and smash it up in the tubing arena along with lots of other little tykes and tiny snow-bunnies just like them!

A few of the pictures of our day in the snow are posted below. Many, many more photos are shown above in the slide show.
