How to Become a Morning Person

I am not a morning person. But as a mom of twin toddlers, my most productive hours are those sacred hours before 7:15 a.m. That’s when the girls wake-up (or I leave them in the cribs till then). My natural peak productive hours are early afternoon, but alas I’m in the season of life where … Continue reading →

A Quiet Moment

Finally, a quiet moment. The girls are enthralled with Baby Einstein, and that gives me a chance to play with my camera. Quiet moments are diamonds in the rough in our home. It’s rare that the girls sit still and are together. Mission accomplished. Thanks Baby Einstein! If you haven’t discovered the Baby Einstein DVDs, … Continue reading →

Happy RSV!

“We’re baby-free!” I cried out as my hubby and I headed to the beach to celebrate our anniversary. It was our first child-less weekend. The second day into it, I get the dreaded call.

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 →

Gurgles of Joy

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. A little one glances over her shoulder every few minutes to confirm I’m still seated. They remain content so long as I’m with them. I tend to complain … Continue reading →
