Twin Tips: Surviving Sickness with Twins plus Two

My heart breaks when my babies are hurting. It’s got to be the worst feeling ever to see them in pain. Last Sunday, Kate had a virus and then Clara got it a few days later, despite our attempts to sanitize and separate. You can see we were both worn out (even though I kindContinueContinue reading “Twin Tips: Surviving Sickness with Twins plus Two”

Mommy Review Monday: Baby Banana Teether

Both Clara and Kate started teething over 4 months ago. We quickly realized we needed some teethers that were easy for them to use. Our good friends’ son had this banana teether and they said he loved it so we found it on Amazon and ordered a couple. What I like about them: They’re availableContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Baby Banana Teether “

Adventures with Four: Picnicking with Donuts

Sometimes I think the best way to stay sane with four kids is to load everyone up and go somewhere. Here’s my logic behind today’s early-morning adventure to the park: Donuts are always a big hit with the kids (even if they aren’t the healthiest). Picking up breakfast meant I didn’t have to cook. TheContinueContinue reading “Adventures with Four: Picnicking with Donuts”

Photo Friday: Spring School Photos

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that our preschool brings in a good photographer twice a year. They have a crew of photographers and make sure the kids are posed cute. I never got around to posting these and thought I’d share. I think they turned out great. It may be just me, but I think theContinueContinue reading “Photo Friday: Spring School Photos”

8 Things that Helped Me Survive a Twin Pregnancy

I survived a twin pregnancy. I should really say that I thrived since I was so very fortunate to not have any complications like so many mothers of multiples do. Even with no complications, carrying two full-term is hard – harder than my previous pregnancies by a long shot. But there are ways to make itContinueContinue reading “8 Things that Helped Me Survive a Twin Pregnancy “

Mommy Review Monday: Happy Healthy Parent Waterproof Silicone Bib

With my first two kids, I used Bumkins bibs and they’re great but I decided to try some the Happy Healthy Parent waterproof silicone bibs for the twins. Here’s what I like about them: They come in a 2- pack with free shipping through Amazon Prime. The colors are cute: Clara’s is purple and Kate’s is pink. TheContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Happy Healthy Parent Waterproof Silicone Bib”

Dinner is coming.

Garen sent this to me earlier. I sent him back a text that said, “Dinner has come.” There’s a fine line between hilarious and just flat nerdy. Obviously, the girls are enjoying their home made baby food. This was after dinner tonight. What a mess?!?

Nursing Twins- Part 5: Nursing Two Older Babies

Clara and Kate are now 8 months old. It’s hard to believe…. Except for their nursing habits, which are much changed from the early days. Here’s what I’ve observed so far with nursing twins older than 6 months: They have more trouble focusing. They still fit on the nursing pillow in the football hold forContinueContinue reading “Nursing Twins- Part 5: Nursing Two Older Babies”

Patriotic Babies

These girls just turned 8 months a few days ago and, for our obligatory monthly photo, it seemed appropriate for them to sport their red, white and blue in honor of 4th of July. MaMa gave the girls these adorable patriotic outfits complete with matching Harlem Globetrotter headbands that she made. She even made aContinueContinue reading “Patriotic Babies”

Mommy Review Monday: Ciao! Baby Portable High Chair

My cousin, who also has twins, introduced us to these Ciao! Baby portable high chairs. I’ll be honest, at first I was skeptical because they’re about $60 and I just didn’t think it was worth that much times two. But we had two BBQs this weekend and we knew it was going to be aContinueContinue reading “Mommy Review Monday: Ciao! Baby Portable High Chair “
