Mother’s Day is coming so there is no better time to celebrate the woman you are! And I’m not just talking about celebrating by doing a face mask or enjoying a glass of wine. I mean REALLY celebrate WHO you are and ALL the things you love about yourself. What are the things you love …
As the girls’ second birthday rolled around, the idea of not having to change any more diapers was extremely appealing! It also seemed extremely intimidating. I had heard horror stories of potty training one kid at a time and wasn’t very sure of my abilities to handle two at once. But SPOILER ALERT…WE DID IT! …
In ‘Transitioning Twins Part 1’ we said goodbye to our beloved cribs and this was all in preparation for the even more important task of potty training. I feel that the fears associated with potty training are greater than the fears associated with transitioning to big kid beds. So, before we jump into how we …

Joy! 3 short letters but such a beautiful and powerful word. I’m not a linguist, but I feel as though this word frequently gets used as a synonym for happy. Yet Joy (to me) is so much deeper than that. Happy is feeling, it comes and goes, it is the antonym for sad. Joy on …
I have always looked forward to each new year with hope and excitement. I love thinking about resolutions, warmer weather, and fun plans. I even remember being oddly hopeful as Y2K approached. But not 2020 – I sincerely don’t want it to come. No offense to 2020 and all you dreamers out there. I’m …

We LOVE reading. It is a great way to sneak in some extra cuddles, to wind down before bed, and even to make road trips pass by more quickly. After 3 years of reading countless amounts of children’s books, I have compiled a list of our top 25. Some are classics, some are newer, and …
I love EVERYTHING about Christmas! I love the trees, the lights, and the baking. I even love the little things like the sound of jingle bells, the smell of fresh wreaths, and the friendly hellos of strangers. Knowing this, you shouldn’t be surprised that I also find enormous amounts of joy in Christmas shopping and …
This isn’t a post for the best gift of 2019, because I prefer toys that aren’t necessarily the trendiest. I like some of the classic toys that will last a while and will grow with your little tot (or tots)! As a twin mom who hates clutter and is selective about which toys I bring …
