Parenting twins by Canadian mom blogger, My Organized Chaos
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….
Before going to bed myself one night last week, I snuck into the twins’ room for a peek and had to get photos of them sleeping. Sweaty and exhausted from a full days play in such heat, they didn’t even wake when I pulled back the curtains a bit for some light. Sleeping beauties –…
Where it all began. To launch the #FisherPriceMoms Ambassadorship, my 3 daughters and I flew to Toronto in March 2011 for a very special photo shoot. I definitely had a great time and do smile seeing my girls and I in promotional ads, and even my daughters still talk about that event to this day. My twins…
Of course my twincesses have plenty of costumes and clothing, but chances are they wear a mix of everything at once. Or, all at once! Mittens in the house, mismatched slippers and necklaces as headbands. Colorful, bold and fun – their choice on clothes match their personalities exactly! . {Please leave me a comment and…
I recall when my oldest was 3 years old, and she has a HUGE love for the song, Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake. I got a video of her shaking her wee little booty to that song, it was priceless! My twins, at 3, have their own favorite song as well. They have been…
Sharing sweet Parenting Twins moments. If there’s one characteristic to know about my little Katie, it’s that she loves doing laundry. I recall the early days {with much foggy haze, mind you}, when Katie was just able to sit up herself. While her twin was ferociously messing up the piles I just made – little Katie…
The above are hearts that the twins drew. So proud that they have finally mastered ‘the heart’, they are now seen on every piece of paper they can find. {#Love} Homemade Photo Valentines in hand, they ran excitedly to preschool after lunch. Today is one of those days when I can’t get them to stay…
It’s not even midway into January and I’ve learned a lot already about the sweet life. File this one under ‘Good to Know’ – I’m allergic to 2 pain medications given to me at the hospital. The reactions I endured since my {mocking} gallbladder removal taught me so. Surgery, coupled with the inability to venture…

At least a dozen times a day, this is a view of mine. The twins love to color, LOVE! . {Please leave me a comment and link up your own WW post!} . .

What I learned from parenting toddlers: If I like it, it’s mine. If it’s in my hand, back off, it’s mine. If I can take it from you, it’s mine. If I had it a little while ago, it’s mine. If it’s mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway. If I’m…
At the last yearly check-up for the twins, I was asked to get gowns on them before the doctor came in {that was a first!}. Looking around, I only seen the usual blue adult gowns. Huge on the girls, but it served the purpose. And, they made the cutest photo! Then I realized, my twins…
Should Twins Sleep in the Same Room? It’s been a year coming, and quite honestly it’s probably been the roughest battle for me as a Mom of Twins. The transition from crib to bed! No, they’ve never fallen out. Not scared of the dark. It’s the fact that bedtime was always one huge slumber party!…
When photographing my kids, I’m usually repeating, “over here, girls”, “look here”, “smile”, “turn around”, “face me”, “Hello??!?!!”. With any active children, especially with 3 of them – it’s sometimes hard to even get them faced in the right direction let alone looking your way or smiling. I realized that the best photo of my…
On July 25th, I become the Mom of Three Year Old Twins. Sometimes writing down the best memories of life takes time {or is it recovering from such a bash?}. What I do perfect myself on, is making sure those actual days are a huge and smashing success. They happen, and they are wonderful {even…
We’re talking photo organization. I love taking photos. It started long ago when my Mom gave me a huge film camera at age 7. I, like most people, have many photo albums to show evidence that I am indeed a shutterbug. Many MANY albums filled with thousands of photos spanning a good 25 years….
I smile at the chatter in the back of the van, the girls sharing stories and giggles. At almost 3, they seem to have the funniest conversations in the back seats in the car. But mark my words, fight, my twin toddler do best. And not even being restrained in seats can stop the bickering, arguing…
