Since my son is only 10 months old, our activities are a bit limited, but we certainly have our fair share of fun! Our typical, daily fun is simple....at home, playing, just me and him. As every parent knows, the days pass so quickly, our children grow up so fast! One day he had trouble crawling the makeshift ramp I made in the living room out of the couch cushions while the next day he conquered the ramp and discovered the "hidden tunnel" the ramp created underneath. It's amazing! I am…

Hey Mommies! There is a fabulous neighborhood right around the corner from my house that gets seriously, decked out for the holidays. Check out the article in the OC Register mentioning the festive community! It's a lot of fun to walk around with the kiddos. Last year, I put Colin in the Bjorn and he was in awe... This year, he's running from house to house with lots of excitement!! We've been…

Man I should have just hopped on the computer and photoshopped images of each of my family members into one, to give the illusion that it was all planned, a family holiday photo... because taking family pictures last week was the biggest ordeal I've been through thus far.

It starts off the day before with my third child (uh hhmm, husband) not wanting to take them. "Let's just use another picture we have", he said to me when I told him we needed to be up and out the door at…

Holiday in The Harbor - Dana Point

Start you holiday season off with a trip down to Dana Point for their annual , " Holiday In The Harbor" event! Santa will be there to hear your…

Soooo I thought the car was supposed to be this great place parents could count on for some peace and quiet with their kids. You know, kind of a last resort when all else fails. I thought the car was supposed to be a guarantee for a great nap.

Sooooo why do both of my kids (as babies) scream their head off in the car?????? OMG!

With my first daughter I was so confused when I loaded her in the car, with her favorite car seat toy and a soft plush blanket and the…

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, I thought it would be fun for all of us to share what we are thankful for this holiday season. Please post a comment! This will be fun to read:)…

Hi Moms-

The casting director at Pie Town Productions in Los Angeles asked us to notify you all of a current project/documentary they are working on. Here is the information if you are interested in participating.

We are in the early stages of developing a documentary series about families that have multiple children with Aspergers syndrome. We think this could be an amazing opportunity to shed light on misconceptions surrounding an individual's ability to live…

As soon as the topic of “Favorite Mommy & Me” activity went up, I started thinking “Oooh! What do we really love to do?!”. Well, with twins who don’t like to be strapped in a stroller or car seat for very long, we stick pretty close to home most days, and our daily…

Sounds like a personal ad for my little guy, but really - our favorite Mommy & Me activity is going for long walks just about anywhere. He loves to sit in his stroller and look at the passers-by, the sand, the trees, birds, dogs, you name it, he's interested. He's quite the conversationalist too - he babbles about something he sees or hears, and I respond back to him. People walking by might be thinking I'm crazy, but I'm just out enjoying my time with the little guy!

Hands down, the hardest adjustment, for me, in going from one to two kids is learning that I can no longer give 100% of my time to my oldest. For the past 19 months, our lives have revolved around her. At any point, my daughter had someone to pick her up, an ear ready to listen her latest news, a leg to bounce on and her pick of which parent was going to put her to sleep at night (don't tell my husband, but it's always me). So, now that I have a newborn in my hands 20 hours of the day and…
