parenthood
The Interpreter
I spend a lot of time deciphering screams. Are the boys fighting over space/a toy and going to figure it out on their own? Or did Logan just bite Forest to get what he wants? Is that just frustration or is Forest seriously hurt? Is Logan just being clingy or did [...]
Can you dig it?
Children come into this world ready to dance and sing. They have no idea to be self conscious or in tune until they get old enough to understand ridicule. Too bad we don’t have a world where that never happens. I was amazed at how early Logan started humming. Before he [...]
The Ties that Bind
I can not tell a lie, I am glad to have weekends without the boys. I remember when my friend Wendy’s ex-husband started taking their daughter for weekends and how she felt so blessed to have those breaks. I totally get it. After two weeks of travel and family while Brad was [...]
Happy Mother’s Day
I love quotes. So for Mother’s Day I share with you some special ones that I gathered a few years ago.
Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall;
A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, American man of letters
There is in all this cold and hollow world
No fount of deep, strong, [...]

Reverse Rant
This morning I tried to go to the gym for the first time in a week but the day care was full. So I decided to take the boys to our neighborhood park, which is still driving distance from our house, but a lot of fun. There were three other mothers there with children around [...]
Why I do this the way that I do
Last summer a very good friend expressed concerns about putting yourself so “out there” onto the internet using social websites and blogs. At the time I wasn’t sure how to express myself accurately to him about why I was so open with this blog. Brad and I have since had many, many conversations [...]

Most awesome search results to my blog “twins are taking over my life”.
Am I more cool or less cool for playing peek a boo when Siouxsie and the Banshee’s song “Peek-A-Boo” comes on?
We’ve passed a huge milestone. The boys will stand still and not move for a few moments, just because I asked them [...]
You Know that You’re a Mom of Twins When…
You know you’re the mom of twins under two years old when going to the dentist to have 4 cavities filled puts you to sleep. Seriously, I dozed off for a few moments during a short break in the process. Not sure if the dental assistant realized it or not but she woke [...]
