We're probably doing it wrong.
I should have done a better job keeping track during 2018, because I always like thinking about ideas to share for gift ideas. Overall though I think this is a pretty good list! By far, the most "played with" thing in our house is plain old copy paper! Our boys love drawing, coloring, writing notes,... Continue Reading →
When I went to the big twins club re-sale in 2013, I had a very specific list of items that I knew our 5 month old babies would need in the short term. When I saw the huge area of big toys, I froze. I tried to think about the next 5-6 months and what... Continue Reading →

Hang on a sec, let me finish laughing. Hahahahaha. "Clean." Hahahahaha. That's hilarious. We are kind of slobs. Wait, that doesn't sound right; we aren't dirty or living in filth or anything. We just get lazy about things like vacuuming and dusting. It's not a priority for us. And I'm hoping that we're not the... Continue Reading →

Being new at this, I was pretty worried that everything would terrible and horrible and... Continue Reading →
All pregnant ladies want to know: What are the must-haves for babies? When expecting twins, that question is a little more daunting, because two babies are more daunting and more complicated! I've put together a list of the things that we use and like. Hope it will be helpful to anyone else expecting, no matter... Continue Reading →
