Snippets of the fun and challenging life of twin mommyhood, marriage, and some crafts in between.

Lo Gung had a great idea this weekend…let’s pack a picnic lunch! It was a great way to unwind while the girls got to get outside and play. Dada with Sarah and her cheese sandwich Sophie had the grumpies and wouldn’t eat her sandwich. So I stuck out my lower lip in sympathy. I didn’t [...]

Today’s our 6th Anniversary! We had a busy, non-anniversaryish day today (Preschool orientation! Will tell you about it later) so maybe we will celebrate some other time. And I knew I would forget to say it today because I’ve been so anxious about the orientation, so I said it yesterday (“Happy Day Before Our [...]

I’ve been thrifting a little bit for the past few months and I keep finding new-to-me thrift stores all over the area. A few weeks ago I came across this king-sized maybe vintage sheet for $6 and thought it would be nice to sew something out of it. To be honest, I wasn’t sure about [...]

Sometimes we’d take an extra long drive after leaving somewhere so they’d nap. I think we had left church one Sunday and they fell asleep in the car. So we kept driving and wound up in Burlingame, around the airport hotels. They woke up and wondered what should we do? So we parked at the [...]

Sometimes we’d take one baby out on our own. Dada took Sarah (age 11.5 months) to Costco. He reported that a total of zero people stared and made comments. Last week, we returned our last unopened box of diapers to Costco. Yeeeeahhhhh. Well, we’re not 100% there yet. But I’m still saying it…Yeeeeahhhhhhhh. Here’s last [...]

At five months old, they couldn’t sit up yet. Dada must have propped them up on the couch and made them giggle somehow. Oh the little caps and the sweet yet stained bibs that are burned into my memory. We have long passed them on to the next babies, but I can still feel the [...]

In elementary school, my friends and I spent hours playing with Cootie Catchers, aka Fortune Tellers. And I must say they were very accurate, predicting that I would marry Ricky Schroeder, have 10 kids and live in a shack with him. Other than their powerful soothsaying abilities, I’ve always admired their sculptural quality from all [...]

Yesterday a distant cousin of mine got married at Nestldown, a lovely outdoor setting in the South Bay. The girls were invited too. I admit I was nervous because weddings=all-day event. But they did really well…just one or two high-pitched shrieks and a few NO NO NO NO’s and let’s go hoooooooooooooooome’s here and there, [...]
