We're probably doing it wrong.
On some Thursdays, I'll share something random that I'm really liking, enjoying, or appreciating. Just a little post to share a little snippet of life right now. I'd love to know if you also like these things, and what you're randomly into these days! At the end of July, I sold my 1998 Saturn sedan.... Continue Reading →
Last week, just before bedtime, the babies spent awhile having a ball playing on and around the baby couch. Here's the progression--but imagine lots of happy screeching and giggling to accompany the images. 🙂 Video!
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 →
I have mentioned the hugging in a couple other posts. But seriously. It is the best thing. Especially when I pick them up at daycare: when they see me, they get this big smile, walk over to me, and put their arms around me. * Babies have started getting into our trash cans. They know...

The Sunday before their first birthday (late November), the babies dropped their morning nap. They stayed up until 12 or 1230 and then crashed. I was like, okay, they're down to one nap a day now! It took a few weeks of being very cranky in the late afternoon, but only occasionally taking what we... Continue Reading →
Previously: My thoughts on "nurseries" and the first baby room makeover/setup. The babies have been sleeping in their room for what, six months now? They don't really spend any time there in daylight. But as they get bigger, and our living room-slash-playroom starts to feel smaller, I started to think about actually getting some fun...

I am so excited about this project! It turned out pretty much just like I envisioned, and it was easy and really inexpensive. Win-win! I bought 12" papier mache letters at Joann. My local store didn't have the letters I wanted, so I got them online. Sometime in the last year or two, I remembered... Continue Reading →
I lived in New York for eight years. There are a lot of great things about the city, which everyone knows: tons of cultural events, bars stay open really late, it's really easy to get around via public transportration, great restaurants everywhere, interesting and diverse mix of people, it's never boring. However, the thought of... Continue Reading →
#5: Brunch with babies! So we'd had the babies with us in a couple other restaurant situations. They had sat in high chairs in a couple fast food places, and we did one fairly-quick Red Robin dinner with my dad. But I wanted to do a purposeful restaurant outing with just the four of us...

I joined Pinterest mainly for photography inspiration. But I kept seeing people post amazing food/cooking/baking and reluctantly began pinning those too. I don't really cook, but in the past few years I've enjoyed doing some baking and trying out tasty new desserts. (Dessert is the best food group, don't you think?) I know that sweets...

We Have Twins?!
