Okay, so technically there is a Mother’s Group on this island and technically I have studiously avoided it. There are several reasons for this, most of them petty, and one legit.
Initially I was very excited at the prospect of joining. There’s no twinnies in the group, of course, because mine are THE ONLY TWINS [...]

With the girls coming up fast on 1 year, I’m afraid I’ll forget all the funny, beautiful little pieces of their babyhood.

Here’s a cool list I stole from Kristyn, who stole it from someone else who stole it from someone else. With so much thievery, who knows where it began? Its fun, have a go!
1. Started your own blog

Welcome to the Jungle (again)

Yes, it’s finally happened. The Guns n Roses reference cometh. I have avoided it since the blog began (a whooping 6 months- woot!) but my jet lag induced exhaustion has made me shed all shame like snake skin. Like Axl. Axl knows how to rock the snake skin.
Anyhoo, the journey was oh so long and [...]
Sibling Rivalry Blues
Posted in The Joy of Twins, tagged children suffering from divorces, how being a twin effects personality, messy horrible divorced, people comparing twins, protecting babies from mean comments, sibling rivalry on January 2, 2009 | 6 Comments »
I can’t help but wonder how the twins effect each other. Does being a twin mold a child’s personality, or is a twin no more of an influence than any other sibling? I think about this quite a bit because of my girls, of course, but also because I’m from a large family and I know [...]
