Twin Fabulous!

I just love December. I love all the holiday-themed fun things we get to do as a family. We’ve been very on the weekends as a matter of fact so busy that I have not purchased one gift yet. But what’s better lots of pretty gifts or lots of pretty memories. Here are some of the … Continue reading »

Admit it. Your mind went straight to the song by The Fray. And then your mind went to Grey’s Anatomy. I digress. On to the business at hand. I spent 4 hours last week learning adult and child CPR. I have to say it was the best 4 hours I have spent in a very … Continue reading »

The family and I attended a fun party this weekend. And the kids, especially the girls, had a ball. It has been a couple of months since they attended a party as I tend to take my son alone without them. It just works out better. He has a better time and I am not … Continue reading »

I attended my very first blogging conference, #CFLBLOGCON12, this weekend. I have been blogging for over a year but have never been able to make it to a conference. In my opinion, I have been doing a lot of things right but coming out #CFLBLOGCON12, I now realize there is so much more that I … Continue reading »

No judgment but some of us may have had some questionable dates in our 20’s that caused us to do the dreaded walk of shame. But now as a mother, this walk of shame is so much worse. I am talking about the yucky feeling that comes around 4:45 when you know you’ve promised to … Continue reading »

Today my twins start their swim lessons, just like their brother did when he was two. Two years old may seem a bit young but I want to make sure that the kids are comfortable with the water from an early age. As a Black parent this is very important to me. Besides the obvious … Continue reading »

I love the beginning of the month because it means my new Birchbox will be arriving. It arrived on Saturday which allowed me plenty of time to dig through the box. Here’s what came this month: 1. Apothederm Stretch Mark Cream- I guess by this age Birchbox has figured out that our skin is shot if we have … Continue reading »

I promise you, I really do love my non-twin child. Recently a friend questioned my love for my son given my Twin Fabulous blog and activities. At first I was a little offended but realized it was a legitimate concern. Have the twins taken over life as we know it?  In the beginning that was definitely … Continue reading »

Oh yay! The 2011 Security list of popular baby names is out. I have a thing for names. I think they mean a lot. I admit that I get a little picture in my head of people when I hear their names. So you can image when it came to naming my three children, it was a very … Continue reading »

Okay, so I acknowledge that this seems a little crazy. I was at a birthday party this weekend and as the moms made small talk, the oh-so-pleasant topic of skin conditions came up. Let me tell you, my daughter’s chronic eczema was one of the tamer skin conditions discussed. I’ll spare you the details. My little … Continue reading »

Here is the first in my series of rules for the mom with multiples. I am by no means an expert but I think it may help others to share what works for me. These rules are nothing revolutionary, again just what seems to work well for me. A big rule for me is to … Continue reading »

Did I mention that I am a beauty product junkie? I don’t necessarily use them but I buy them with all good intentions. Then about three times a year, I go through my bathroom cabinet and throw out all this stuff I never used all while beating myself up for spending so much money on … Continue reading »

I get this question a lot. And honestly, I hear a little bit of judgement in the question. Feels as if there is the assumption that I am a little bit of a Stepford wife. Here’s why it makes my life so much easier. Much less effort in getting them dressed Unless you’ve been in … Continue reading »

Anyone who knows me knows that I am pretty laid back and positive but today we are taking a break from the regular scheduled program to just vent. Yesterday we were at the local playground and this situation happened to me twice. Inevitably whenever I am out with the twins and people deduce that they are … Continue reading »
