Viva La Resistance

Babies are asleep. I’ve got my workout clothes on and just unwrapped my brand new Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred DVD. Place the video in the DVD player. Hit play. Menu pops up. The menu shows the work out as the second option. I need the remote to select it.  You think they would put all … Continue reading

Top 5 Toys for One Year Olds

Two little girls are bumping on the floor. Both are quick and like to explore. Who will be one as swift as a fox? Who will be the first to climb in the box? Two baby girls are bumping, pushing, and striving to be the one who scrambles into the empty diaper box first. Baby … Continue reading

Life is precious. I’m seated on the floor between my twin girls as they giggle and gurgle with joy to themselves while exploring the living room floor.

You can pick a card any card, but you can’t pick your familiy. We were dealt our hand of kids, and we can’t exchange them. God designed and dealt each one of us parents a special child for his purposes.  We have our precious children for but a season, and it is perhaps one of … Continue reading

I’m a Mommy Sandwich

I’m a Mommy Sandwich. I have 2 one year old girls straddling each of my legs.  Mouths are open like little birds chanting “ma-ma-ma” as they both bounce and push to get closer to Mommy.  Oh-how-wonderful, and oh-how-sweet-it- is. Oh, am I ever going to get anything done? Separation Anxiety. Our Married With Twins family embarked … Continue reading
