Ever wish there was something that would make your day with your multiples easier?! I find myself dreaming up these silly inventions (and usually laughing at them). My latest…
Our two-story house that we so blindly bought 3 1/2 years before children, has been driving me NuTs. Stairs + babies/ toddlers= don’t mix. The girls are [...]
Easier, please?

New Found Independence… yikes!
February 23rd, 2010 by amy · 18 Comments
My sweeties are about 1 1/2 now and suddenly have these smart, amazing minds of their own. Which of course is a fabulous thing… or is it?! They would rather walk than be in their stroller, they want to do things for themselves (ie when taking a drink from Mommy’s cup, they want to hold [...]

One Sick Child
January 26th, 2010 by amy · 3 Comments
It happened last week: my worst parenting fear. Riley had the dreaded stomach bug. Throw up = I want to run away. When I was an elementary school teacher, on the first day of school when teachers oh so nicely go over the rules, I would always tell my kids, “If you ever feel sick [...]

Playing & Learning

I am a SAHM to my twins and LOVE that I am able to be! I really enjoy it, but of course, there are those moments when I want to run for the hills. My 16 monthers have recently learned how FUN it is to ‘push each other’s buttons.’ Okay- now I’m taking [...]

Traditions: “The most wonderful time of the year…”
December 22nd, 2009 by amy · 4 Comments
I love this time of year- the cheesy music on the radio, the lights, the cold weather. All of it! Reese and Riley are nearly 16 months- not quite old enough to “get” Christmas or the holidays yet, but old enough to have fun digging into presents and loving family all around them. I’ve been [...]

Moms of Multiples Groups
December 8th, 2009 by amy · 14 Comments
Confession: I’ve never had my 15 month old girls involved in any “organized groups.” No weekly play groups, no Kindermusik, no multiple clubs. Don’t get me wrong- they’re well socialized- we get together with friends all the time, have play dates, run errands, they attend “bible class” on Sundays, play at the park, at the [...]

Just have to laugh.

My girls are officially “babe-lers.” That should be a word- I made it up. It means not quite babies anymore and not quite toddlers yet. You know, kind of like “tween” is a word for between kid and teen. Ha! They are almost 15 months and their personalities are blossoming, they’re into everything, [...]

Halloween for Preemies!
October 27th, 2009 by amy · 7 Comments
Last year my baby girls celebrated their FIRST Halloween. It was their very first holiday ,and y’all, we L-O-V-E holidays around here! Initially I hadn’t planned anything fun or even a costume for my twins because they were due November 12. I figured they’d come a little early, but September 4?! I love Halloween- love [...]

What if we didn’t have multiples??
October 13th, 2009 by amy · 8 Comments
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 time for myself)!” etc, etc.
I [...]

Nursing Pillows, How I Love Thee (For MANY Reasons)!
September 22nd, 2009 by amy · 15 Comments
When I was pregnant with my twins, I remember thinking (okay, maybe worrying in my control freak ways) about what in the heck I’d need TWO of?? Two carseats and two cribs were a given, but 2 swings or 1 (we quickly decided 2 after they were home)? 2 pack n plays or 1? 2 [...]
