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.

NY City - Candy Galore

Yesterday, we spent an afternoon exploring M&M World in Times Square. And, can I just say, this must be one of the most incredible destinations, especially if you have children or if you have a serious habit for chocolate of the M&M variety. M&M World. It's so much more than just a retail store where you can buy your familiar brown and yellow 1 ounce bags of M&M candies. It's more like a full-blown entertainment complex dedicated to the colorful fun of M&M'S chocolate candies. And, if you think I'm overstating things a bit, let me assure you, I'm not. M&M World is a 3-story immersion into all things M&M's equipped with all kinds of interactive areas for kids and all kinds of M&M's in literally every color palette and color combination! It really is soooooo much more than candy! Paige and Taylor absolutely LOVED this place, but who wouldn't...just look at the pictures (which don't fully do M&M World justice by the way), and then decide for yourself! Oh, and I'm going to switch the arrangement of photos up just slightly. Rather than posting the pictures in their chronological order - arriving at the store, milling about the exhibits, selecting the candies, etc. - I am going to post the pictures beginning with the post-shopping indulgence of the M&M's candies by Paige and Taylor right outside of M&M World, sitting on the streetcorner, in all their M&M candy glory with their little hands digging into their bags for more and more fistfuls of M&M's.
