Moms of multiples tell it like it is

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 [...]

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 [...]

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, and always [...]

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 [...]

 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 [...]

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 [...]

* I love that I have twins.  Their relationship is starting to blossom- they hold hands, “talk” to each other all day, giggle at each other, and light up when the other one comes into the room.  I hope they always love each other this much! * Ummm… I had a glass of sangria at [...]

Oh grocery store, I’ve been thinking, and I despise you each week. I might even consider you my “nemesis,” so to speak. When my twins were smaller, it felt impossible to stop by With TWO baby carriers in a cart- WHERE would my groceries lie? For a while I tired pushing the Quattro Duo to [...]

The other day (well, when it wasn’t 152 DEGREES here in TX, so really a few months ago), the girls and I went on a walk and made a stop by the neighbor’s “Candy Stand.”  She is so stinkin’ cute- going into 1st grade and already coming up with business ideas (selling left over Halloween [...]

The past few days, I’ve been flooded with feelings… how do I describe it?  It’s excitement, but also a bit of shock or it might even be denial?!  You see my twins will be O-N-E in about a month.  Many of you have been there-(I loved Laura C’s post a few months ago about Birthday [...]
