I received the following text message: Hey Char, I am outside. I knocked twice, it sounds like you have your hands full in there. When you get a minute, I’m sitting on your front steps. Just another day at toddler and twinsies.

It’s Monday so that means it’s time to recap. Tuesday, October 12th: I was at Whole Foods and had Nana with me. An associate asked me how old she was and when I told him 4 months he astutely observed that she must have been a preemie. “Close,” I said, “She’s an identical twin.” “Oh, [...]

I’d say more about the girls but they don’t do very much. They smile, they poo, they cry, they’re unbearably adorable. TQ on the other hand if left unchecked would probably be running a small country by now…say Luxembourg. Anyway, the other day when we were at Aidan’s house a few remarkable things happened. First [...]

Have twins when he is 16 months old. Not really, well…not entirely. There are all sorts of other ways TQ gets shorted around here but the one I am going to chronicle for you here today is the art of nap time. Also, as an aside, from now on at the bottom of my post [...]

My Ten Pound Independent Spirits

My girls slept in their own cribs last night and now are doing it again. I don’t even know what to do with myself. It’s such an odd switch. TQ LOVES sleeping with us, and sometimes still needs it. But my teeny little girls are ready to go out on their own. In their own [...]
More on Co-Sleeping

I have a lot of half put together thoughts on this subject this morning. For the last few nights Mister and I have gotten all of our children to sleep in our room and then jumped ship for theirs. We have a twin bed in the girls’ room for the day they make the transition, [...]

Hello world! For the last few days I’ve been meaning to post but I just felt like I don’t have anything to write about so here is a little randomness for your reading pleasure. 3 weeks ago T.Q. got his first shot.

People ask how we do it. A lot. So I’ve decided to post about the things that get us through every now and then in hopes that they will send me life time supplies and a million dollars. There are several items that contribute to toddler and twinsie success. The first and foremost of these [...]
