Moms of multiples tell it like it is

My baby turned one this week. My big girl started school last month. As I’ve been waiting for things to get “easier” and hoping for the comments and questions about our family to die down, it now hits me: I like the attention. Sure, sure. I complain about it all the time. I want to [...]

 As women, I think we often get a bad case of the “Ifs” or “If onlys.” You know, like: “If only my body looked like it did BEFORE I had my babies…”  or “If only I could keep my house perfect…”  or “If only I had time to work out… then I would (or ANY [...]

I ended up in a conversation with three moms whose babies were under 4 months old.  Oh, [...]

I flaked on my post last week because my girls recently turned two.  We had their party last Sunday, and it was like Elmo’s World up in here for a day.  Whew!  Glad that is over… I can hardly believe two years have passed since my girls came into this world.  In truth, most of [...]

When will I ever learn?  My kids, like so many others have an early bedtime.  This is an absolute godsend at most times, but occasionally it does bite me in the arse. Am I the only fool who tries to pretend bedtime doesn’t exist on some nights? My dad is visiting from the east coast [...]
