As I look at my children, I (almost) always smile. It’s not necessarily that they make me smile, although that’s true as well. I smile because I want to see them smile. Why do I want to see them smile? Subconsciously, because it makes me feel good (and because I know they’re happy, of course). I, inContinueContinue reading “Smile and the World Smiles with You”

Making Baby Food- Part 2: What and How I Made Baby Food
After our trip to the grocery store (see my previous post, Part 1: The Why and Preparation), I got started. Honestly, it hasn’t been that bad. I never expected to be the mom that makes homemade baby food but, surprisingly, I actually enjoyed it. I went into it without recipes but more of a generalContinueContinue reading “Making Baby Food- Part 2: What and How I Made Baby Food “
Making Baby Food- Part 1: The Background and Preparation
I’ve never tried making my own baby food. Honestly, I’ve been intimidated by it. The thought of cooking, blending, and storing it all seemed like a daunting task. Plus, we are on the go a lot so jarred baby food has been convenient to grab and go. But after about almost two months of the girlsContinueContinue reading “Making Baby Food- Part 1: The Background and Preparation “
Slow Down Sunday
This morning I got up bound and determined to finish up a few things around the house (project DIY baby food included). The girls had other plans. They didn’t feel like entertaining themselves.

Cherished Moments with One
As a mother of four, moments with only one child- to snuggle, to hold, to play with, or even just talk to-are hard to come by. And when they come, they don’t last long. All the more reason to enjoy and cherish them. I got one of these rare moments with Kate earlier today.ContinueContinue reading “Cherished Moments with One”
Twin Fun: I’ll Eat You Up, I Love You So
Clara and Kate have started to sit up by themselves much better within the last week or so. They’ve also started to interact more. This video shows a pretty good example of their very different personalities. Clara is a busy body and Kate just chills. They crack us up.
Twin Ponderings: To Match or Not To Match
One of the many twin questions I get asked is if I dress them alike. The answer: Yes, most of the time they start that way although someone may have a blowout or spit out their carrots, resulting in a wardrobe change. Here’s my reasoning, as if I really need justification of how I dressContinueContinue reading “Twin Ponderings: To Match or Not To Match”
