Moms of multiples tell it like it is

I know most of us MOMS, love our strollers…it’s our main form of transportation for at least the first year after our twins were born.   Because lets just face it, trucking around twins or higher order multiples, is not as easy as scooping up one baby out of the car and putting his/her car seat in a grocery basket [...]

This post is a repeat of a post I made on my personal blog last summer, but I think it’s important enough to post again! One beautiful day last summer, the kids and I headed over to my girlfriend’s house for a casual little playdate with a bunch of our mommy friends and kiddos. My [...]

The following is a conversation I have a lot when out and about with my almost two-year-old twins:    “Your girls are so cute!” “Thank you. This one is actually a boy. This is Riley, and that’s Maddie.” “Oh. [pause, usually pretty long] He has such a sweet face, I just thought . . . [...]

It might be taboo, you might swear you don’t do it and shake your head when other people do. But don’t lie. You do it, too. I’m going to come right out and say it. I compare my kids. Yep. I do. I compare them to each other. I compare them to the babies in [...]
