Parenting twins by Canadian mom blogger, My Organized Chaos
It seems like I blinked, and now I am here. Honestly, WHERE does the time go?! We went to Kindergarten Orientation this past week, the twins are SO excited for Fall. myself, I have the Summer to get over the shock and some time cherish my babies just a little longer. Do you ever…
Call me entirely forgetful, yet I don’t recall a lot from when my kids were babies. I remember little tidbits, or feelings as a whole, but mainly it’s all a blur. Maybe I went into survival mode? For example, I don’t remember the exact moment when my girls laughed for the first time. Correction….
April Fools Day will always bring one huge smile to my face and be a common topic of conversation in our family for many years. Even though we do not participate in the trickery anymore. How come? At 20 weeks pregnant {on march 29, 2008}, I posted this 1st photo of my belly bump…

As a parent, I thought of milestones more often when my kids were younger. Things like learning to walk, eat solid foods or their first laugh; those little stepping stones in growth were highly celebrated. Thing is, growth doesn’t stop, no matter how old your child is. Celebrations are at every turn. Our January…
Recently the kids and I went bowling, the first time for my twins. All was good, they loved it. Yet, the twins couldn’t throw oops, I mean roll the ball hard enough to make it to the pins in a timely manner. Actually, they both ended up sitting down and watching it roll down…
My twin girls just started Ballet classes, and they love it! Seeing a group of 4 years olds in little tutus is something that always makes me smile. Over the weekend I also took the girls to see The Nutcracker Ballet, to which the twins thought they were the ones putting on the show….
This week I came across a box of ‘old’ photos and thumb-drives. Like expected, I spent way more time than intended, reminiscing times past and many memories, including Christmases Past. Here are the kids and I in 2010, which wasn’t that long ago yet at the same time, feels like forever ago. Not the…
A lazy Saturday in the house of Chaos means laundry, cleaning and nail painting and Gangnam Style? Yet, there’s also music and dancing in the mix, it just makes those chores go down a little easier. Like a spoonful of sugar. Kinda. Here the twins demonstrate their Gangnam Style. I was doing well with…
As my Twins would scream at every turn, “Fick er Feet!!!” My two Unicorns and Witch had a blast going door to door, despite the bitter cold weather. Which is why I opted for buying such warm Halloween Costumes for the Twins this year. Side bonus? They glowed in the dark! And yes, they really…
The twins had their first ever dentist appointment last week, a ‘friendly visit’ as they like to call them. All went well and they have been asking to go back, there’s one less ‘parenting thing’ to worry about! Do your kids like going to the dentist? . . .
My twin little ladies and their BFF, just chillin’ on a Fall day. . . .
Back-to-school has arrived and I recently learned How to Prepare Your Child for Preschool. Are you singing the Staples song yet? ‘It’s the most wonderful time of the year!‘ For my oldest, I know what to expect because I have been here before. I know that I’ll have mixed emotions when sending her off to…
There is common twin talk among parents when you have a baby, and this is multiplied when you have twins {pun intended}. Sleeping, eating, diaper changes etc. Even though my twins are almost preschoolers, these conversations never stop. I still get emails and messages all the time from expecting or new parents, asking me about…
Surrounded by friends and family we rang in the celebration of the big 4. Wow, 4. I have 4 year old twin babies! Where has the time gone? Happy Birthday Katelyn & Sophia! . .
Is it ever More Than Nicknames? Since the day that the twins learned to talk, they called their oldest sister ‘Ella’. Easiest to say for the twins, ‘Ella’ quickly became the name that everyone called her as well. Online is the only place I consciously say ‘Isabelle’ or “Belle’, just so I don’t confuse….
