For the month of December I’ve taken on AtlantaMomOfThree’s  Health and Fitness Challenge. She challenged us to set an exercise goal for the month and to report how we did on Mondays. My puny goal: Exercise 15 minutes, 3 times a week. (Not so puny though, but VERY DIFFICULT.) How did I do this week? … Continue reading

Cheat the Church

Cheat the Church

I was plagued with the guilt of decision making. Should I stay or should I go? My women’s bible study was having a social last night, a cookie swap for a time to get to know each other. I really wanted to go because I’m new to the group and wanted to hang out with … Continue reading

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.

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

Here are 7 interesting things about myself. I lived in the Philippines during my second and third grade years. Plus, I spent 7 months there while in college interning during the week and mountain climbing  on weekends. People ask me, “do twins run in your family?”  No, I say infertility does. My husband’s grandmother has … Continue reading

Pick A Card Any Card

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
