I always get this question! So here’s my answer. Yes No We listened to them cry at the same time and then not at the same time exactly three years ago today (age 4 months). ETA: I went to the dentist today and the hygenist asked me this very question. I realized that it’s [...]

My girls have been fascinated with clocks lately, so I thought I’d make each of them a clock pillow to introduce them to telling time. The clock hands are moveable. I put their names on the back. I wonder if they’ll both be perpetually 10 minutes late like me, or will they be the type [...]

We walked around the mall yesterday. Sophie and Sarah were entertained by the scrolly ad thing in the middle. We stopped at every single one, even the one that was broken and wasn’t scrolling. They wouldn’t believe us and we had to stand there for several minutes before we could move on. Here we are [...]

In high school I sewed a lot, and I had full access my mom’s thread collection. Her collection was HUGE. It still is. She’s barely made a dent in it. She has thread from the drug store that used to be near our house, called Sproutz-Reitz. Does anyone remember that store? So the last time [...]

As if working on one milestone wasn’t enough for us this week, we decided to tackle another: drinking from cups! They’d been getting pretty good at rinsing their mouths using a cup at tooth brushing time so I’d been thinking about this for a while. But of course I put it off for fear of [...]

Pants on the ground, pants on the ground, lookin’ kinda cool with our pants on the ground! We are now in the midst of our second attempt at potty training. Our first attempt, obviously, didn’t go so well. I got wrapped up in what they should be doing for their age and the fact that [...]
