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.

Puppy Love

Dog parks are awesome in California! This week, I took our dog Tukker to exercise and play off-leash at a nearby dog park. Tukker is as much a part of our family as Paige and Taylor - heck she's like a 3rd child really - but too often, Tukker plays second fiddle to the twins.
Now, call me crazy, but I gotta' tell you I REALLY LOVED taking Tukker to the dog park - just she and I - while the twins were at preschool. For the first time in a long time, I watched Tukker enjoy a little canine companionship and play. I watched her lounge out in the puppy pools, splash in the mud puddles, run through the sprinklers and I loved every moment of it! Tukker even met 2 other puppies that day, believe it or not, named Tukker too!
The look of a tired, content puppy after much play and splashing in the pools!


What can I say...Tukker loves water!
The 3 Tukkers - Yes, all 3 of us, complete strangers, discovered that each of our dogs were named Tukker. Every time one of us would call our dog, all 3 would come running! It was very cute. We decided to get a picture of the 3 Tukkers together at their puppy play-date at the park.
