Dinosaur Dance, by Sandra Boynton

One way to describe Dinosaur Dance, by Sandra Boynton is high energy. As the title suggests, the book is about dancing dinosaurs. After reading it a few times to the twins, Antonino would bounce up and down just seeing its cover and Audrey would start shaking sideways (unprompted) from the moment she hears the line "The blue Stegosaurus goes shimmy shimmy shake." 

One Toy, So Many Uses

I really enjoy going toy shopping for the twins. As I wrote in an earlier post, I'm a really picky toy shopper. Like most parents, I'm always looking for toys which give me the most bang for my buck. Something that the twins can use through many ages and help in their development. I always do a lot of research before buying a toy. It's really rewarding whenever I'm able to choose the right one among the many possibilities out there. An example of this is a set of stacking and nesting cups.

12 Things To Do When You're Pregnant With Twins

Last week, a twin mom-to-be messaged me this question:

"I'm 12 weeks pregnant with twins which was a total shock to me and my husband. Anyway, now the shock has subsided, but it has also been replaced with worry. Is it true that I will go into early labor? How did you handle your twin pregnancy? Any advice?"

Organizing Photos (Plus A Mothers' Day Gift Idea And Promo Code)

I love having photos taken to document special occasions, but I'm really bad at organizing them. When Joey and I got engaged, we had an engagement pictorial session. We were lucky to have such a thoughtful photographer, who compiled our best shots into a photo book and gave it to us as a gift. Otherwise, these pictures would have just lived in my hard drive and our photographer's website.

Teaching Kids About Easter

As a kid, Easter meant searching for plastic eggs containing tiny toys and chocolates. But as I grew a bit older, I learned that it should really be about giving thanks for the resurrection of Christ. Now that I'm a parent, I want my kids to be able to enjoy the sweets and at the same time understand what truly matters on this holiday: Jesus and what He did for us.

"So Jesus, whom we pray to every night was nailed to a wooden cross where he bled to death. But it's OK, he came back to life after 3 days! Don't be sad, here's some chocolate to make you feel better."
