Moms of multiples tell it like it is

I was so thrilled when my kids finally seemed to notice each other when they were about six months old.  The first time they laughed at each other was a shining moment, for sure.  Now that they almost play with each other (OK, so they grab each other’s toys and ears, but it’s a start), [...]

Before I had kids I had a lot of “nevers” that I lived by;  I will never feed my kids fast food, I will never leave the baby on top of the car and drive away, I will never yell at my child.  Even if I didn’t articulate them aloud, I held a lot of [...]

When we celebrated our daughter’s first birthday, I could look back on that year and remember everything with such great detail. Her first year seemed to go on and on (in a good way) and reaching her [...]

The theme of the past year and a half of my life has been exhaustion, so it is fitting that as I type this I am, yup, you guessed it…exhausted. It really is no secret that if you are expecting multiples you can also expect to be tired, so I prepared myself for the inevitable [...]

I was convinced that my boys, who turned two last month, were the best example of anti-twins ever created. The “twin bonding” I had read so much about during my pregnancy never came to fruition.
