Lately I’ve felt like I’m trapped inside the children’s book “Five Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed.” Only in my version of the story, I have three monkeys, and my little monkeys are breaking their arms instead of bumping their heads. I could hardly believe it myself when Eli, my oldest son, broke his arm… Continue reading The Boys of Summer Breaks

Oh, boy!
Boys will be boys, and let’s face it. That often means doing disgusting things. In the last two weeks, my son, Eli, has been giving me lots of gross out moments that have me shaking my head in disbelief and laughing at the same time. Eli has this sudden fascination with peeing outdoors. I hear… Continue reading Oh, boy!
Me vs. H1N1
I thought I had planned for the flu season better than an obsessive compulsive bride planning for her wedding day. Despite my efforts, I was delivered a bombshell at Urgent Care on Sunday. My son, Eli, tested positive for influenza A, which is more than likely the H1N1 virus. At that point, my jaw dropped… Continue reading Me vs. H1N1

We set out on an adventure to Baa Moo Farm with the local Mothers of Multiples organization. The country escape was just what we needed on a… Continue reading Baa Moo Farm
Max & Ruby mania
No two people, well rabbits, are more popular in my household right now than Max & Ruby. If you don’t have young kids, you probably have no idea who I’m talking about. Just to fill you in, Max & Ruby are the stars of a cartoon by the same name on Noggin, the preschool cable… Continue reading Max & Ruby mania
First Day of Preschool
This week has been a big week for my household as my 3-year-old twins, Mila and Eli, started preschool. I’m happy to report there were no tears the first two days from them or for me. Now that I’ve said that, I’ll probably jinks next week. With this milestone has come the realization that my… Continue reading First Day of Preschool
