My Ordinary Miracles

    Well, what a year! I am full of thoughts, reflecting on 2009.
    Last New Year’s Eve, I was making a magical wish at midnight, desperate but hopeful for another child. This year, I am full of joy with my two new blessings, and my family is now complete.
     A year ago, my daughter was [...]

    
     What has been increasingly frustrating to me is the wackiness of custom stationary companies and their lack of invitations specifically catered to multiples! Don’t they know that the rate of twins has increased by nearly 40,000 births in the past decade?
    Sure there are the typical twin baby shower invites or twin birth announcements, but where is [...]

   Here are some of my two, too thoughts for today:

 I need to make plans for the Christening of my two little ones. It needs to be a big space that’s budget and kid friendly which is hard to come by in my area.
I need to transfer my twins to their crib [...]

So, I had some fun today looking through our Christmas pics and thought I’d share them with you! Enjoy!
 

    This year, I guess you could say that I spoiled my daughter on Christmas. But let’s face it, she had a tough year. She was home bound for months while I was on bed-rest and then again while I was recovering from my c-section and then again from my broken foot. She had her [...]

    One of my daughter’s favorite books is “Goodnight Moon” by Margaret Wise Brown. (I have the big board book version which has held up well to little hands that get a bit rough with the pages.) My husband and I have been reading it to her for over a year and she often asks for it at [...]

    So, it’s Christmas, and my daughter just opened her Aquadoodle. I bought it for her because she loves to draw and color. She absolutely loves it and has been playing with it for almost an hour already. Capturing a toddler’s attention is a huge feat normally, so I recommend you trying this product if [...]

    Today, on Christmas Eve, I’m full of thoughts about our ever changing traditions on this special holiday. I think that’s the comfort in Christmas…the knowing what to expect, the warm feeling of past memories, the newness of the present. That combined with soft holiday music, the twinking of lights, the glee on little ones’ [...]

     Oh Sears, how I loathe thee! I thought by shopping nearly 2 weeks before Thanksgiving would give me the opportunity to score adorable Christmas outfits for my 3 children in stock. Perhaps you didn’t know that my twins were only 2 months old at the time and with a toddler in tow AND a broken foot, it [...]

    
So, I was contacted recently by Alastair Moock who has twin daughters (Elsa and Clio). Apparently they have inspired him to be musically creative because he wrote a song called “Twins are Twice as Fun” from his album “A Cow Says Mook.” And in the spirit of twindom, he is generously giving away a free download of [...]
