About me

I am a mom of two sets of boy-girl twins, with another set on the way. Yes, twins run in the family! I am also an educator and yoga instructor. Along with me for the ride is my wonderful husband, Adam. Together we've learned a lot but the most important thing we've learned is how to laugh at the chaos and keep having fun. We love our life and wouldn't have it any other way. Six kids in five years... this is how we stay calm and find our zen.

Gardening With the Kids

This year, since I’m in my third trimester with the third set of twins... the kids took over the veggie garden! They have done every part without my help. So fun!

HOW I STAY CALM
​WITH TWO SETS OF TWINS​

One question I get so often is "How do you do it?". I'm always speechless when I hear it because I don't do it alone. It really does take a village, no matter who is in your village. From Making Time for Us to Staying As Organized As Possible, these are some of the ways we have fun in the chaos!

You may think twins are so cute and innocent but the truth is they are a team from day one. Here is one of my biggest mom fails when the bigs who were almost two, teamed up on me. ​

Sock the Madness

The weather is beginning to get a little cooler and socks are a must every day, now. Going from barefoot, summer, care free days to brisk, cool sunshine can be more stressful with many young children. Not only are there jackets, hats, gloves, boots, scarves and all kinds of warm clothes to put on, now there are the dreaded... the loathed... socks! Creating chaos, with me turning the house upside down trying to find four pairs of matching socks!

We took 4 under 4 on a plane!

​Flying with two sets of twins, new three year olds and eleven month olds, from PDX TO ATX, for my sister’s wedding shower, seemed like an eternity! We planned it out for months. We needed a huge rental vehicle at the other end (4 car seats!) It was a like poetry in motion and complete craziness all at once... we did survive. Here's how:

IT Takes A Village

One question I get so often is "How do you do it?". I'm always speechless when I hear it because I don't do it alone. It really does take a village, no matter who is in your village. Our main helpers have been the grandparents, on both sides. They are lifesavers! Everyone with twins needs a village.
