Twins Without Cribs = Chaos!

I was fully planning on keeping the Twins in their cribs until I had to, quite possibly until they were 8 {No joke}. But then, my plans were changed for me when one of their cribs broke and I had to take them down. And, it’s been absolute hell ever since. Yes, it’s my blog and I will say hell, since no other word comes to mind when describing this new parenting task that I am battling. Seriously, this new situation could not go worse… For the last couple of weeks, I have been trying to transition the Twins from [...]

Now This Product Makes Parenting Easier! Energizer Smart Charger

When I first heard about a product called the Smart Charger, by Energizer – I seriously thought, “Now, isn’t that smart?”. After all, running any household takes batteries {clocks, remotes, etc} – yet throw 3 kids int the mix and you may as well invest in the Energizer company! Most toys take batteries, and it seems that on any given day – one set needs replacing. I have a kitchen bin, always full of batteries – on hand for when a child of mine throws a ‘dead’ toy at me. Yet sometimes, low batteries or dead batteries themselves are thrown [...]

I am in the process of trying to potty train my Twin Toddlers. The initial task is to educate and teach them what it is I’d like them to do.

The Belief That a Perfect Body Makes a Perfect Life | Body Image Pressures In Children

My Mother In Law recently told me about a conversation that she and my FIL had with my daughter, who is 5 years old. “Grandma and Grandpa, what do you want to be?” Grandma “You mean, when we grow up?” “Ya” Grandpa, “That’s easy – a Cowboy” “And you Grandma?” “Hmmm, I think I’d be an Heiress” “What’s that? “Well, it’s a woman who is very rich and sails on her yacht in the Mediterranean sea” “Oh….” {in thought} “But Grandma, I think you have to be thin to do that” ~~ Of course her Grandparents thought this was too [...]

e.p.t. | ‘The Moment You Knew’ Blog Tour

I was astonished to learn that 67% of expectant Mom’s save their home pregnancy test. Though I never took a home pregnancy test as I was able to get a doctor’s test right away each time – I’m sure that I would have saved mine if I used one. After all, the moment that you see a positive home pregnancy test, is the moment that you discover you are to become a Mom, it’s the first keepsake. Yet, those that have kept their home pregnancy tests, where do they keep them? In a plastic baggie? e.p.t. now offers women a [...]

My Twins Will Not Keep Their Diapers On!

In the battle between Motherhood and raising the Twin Toddlers, I have been had one daily battle in particular that has caused me so much frustration. Ever since that day long ago, when they had their infamous Poo Fight, this frustrating and repulsive event has unfortunately happened many times. It never fails, the minute they go for their nap or to bed at night, off come the clothes – and their diapers. Once in a while, curious to the more-joyous-than-usual giggles coming from their room, I catch them just in time to avoid a disastrous mess. Sometimes, it’s only one [...]

Evidence Of Sisterly Love

After my oldest daughter caught the bus for her last day of school, this caught my attention… While waiting for her school bus, she was sitting on the stairs practicing her writing. Everyone, including myself thinks she has an accent, not at all like the family or anyone she interacts with. Very odd, but I’d describe it as a ‘Brooklin’ type of accent more than anything. When she spells, she sounds out the words as she writes. She says ‘Gils’ for ‘Girls’, so she writes ‘Gils’. I think it’s so adorable and am dreading the day when she grows out [...]
