Exciting thing! Let me back up… this might come as a surprise, but I’m not one to accessorize. I hardly EVER wear jewelry (other than my wedding ring). I can’t decide if it’s because I’m a plain kinda girl, or just lazy. But that doesn’t matter. The point here is that this has carried over into my home decorating. In the past few months, I’ve decided to make a conscious effort to incorporate more ... [ Read More ]

The Twins are 2!
The sisters are growing and changing sooooo fast. There are scores of new words everyday, and they’re learning how things open and close, or turn on and off. They love each other so much, and are always eager to help one another or bring an item that the other one wants. When we’re in a store, they want to walk instead of sitting in the cart, and are constantly finding ways to demonstrate their ... [ Read More ]

The Beginning of the End Table {Using VINYL as a Stencil!}
Is it not a beautiful sunshiney day out today? Well at least it is here in Iowa. Everything’s all drippy and melty outside, and making me yearn for spring something fierce. I got to go out and frolic in it sans-twins this morning for a mommy-date-type-gathering that was fabulous. ALSO… it’s my Mommy’s 60th Birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!! I’m overjoyed to introduce to you a new member to the ... [ Read More ]

A common question I get as a twin mama is “do they have their own clothes?” or “how do you decide who wears what?” The answer to the first question is: No, they share all their clothing. The answer to the second question gets a little tricky. Mainly because, sometimes one is going through a chubby stage and might be a little tight in a specific outfit… so I’ll put it on the other girl. Or, since ... [ Read More ]

Once upon a time, I took over a hundred pics of my tiny babies in one ‘orange chair’ sitting, because they were just that stinkin’ cute and… sat still. Times have changed my friends. I’m totally spent. I just took well over a hundred pictures again, only in almost every shot, they’re like a pack of wild rabid coyotes. I uploaded some of our ‘outtakes’ to Flickr so you can all go take a gander at ... [ Read More ]

Guessssssssssssssss what! Today’s the first Friday of the month! And that means the chickies get to have their monthly picture taken! They’re no stranger to this practice, and we’ve all been totally missing the tradition. Sweet little girls, I about can’t stand it. After taking today’s picture, I was sitting on the floor with the laptop cropping and editing the photo, and the girls sat on either ... [ Read More ]
Paisley and Adelyn’s First Birthday Party
I probably should discuss the fact that we had a wonderfully successful and super cute Birthday Party for my little chickies. We almost didn’t have one, because it’s not like they’ll remember it or anything. But my friend Nicole pleaded with me that it will be so fun and adorable. And she’s very persuasive! I LOVE to entertain, but party planning? It makes me break out in hives. I get really ... [ Read More ]
Beginning a New Chapter
I’m sort of distraught… sitting here trying to think of what to write. I just can’t believe this is the last of our weekly pictures. I can’t believe they’re going to be 1 this weekend. I feel like I’m writing a eulogy, because these pictures have been a staple of our week; something to look forward to (and sometimes dread). Looking at the early weeks of their lives, it seems like a lifetime ago… ... [ Read More ]
This’ll make it better!
Well, I totally was going to post about Marcy's dining table today... you know, the one that coordinates with this china cabinet? So we did our little last-minute touch-ups last night, but I wasn't thinking about how we wouldn't be able to take pictures until TONIGHT. And I can't have a post without any photos of the finished piece, now can I! So now I feel all sheepish about having promised the ... [ Read More ]
