I read a lot of twin/mommy blogs and lately there seems to be a sort of sameness going around. A quest to find the right balance between being a mom (stay at home or working), being a wife, friend, homemaker, and keeping ones self in the mix. I admit to being a selfish person. It is just who I am and I’m ok with that. However, I try really hard not to be selfish when it comes to the babies. They will only be this little once and I want to enjoy all of it, the good and the bad to the fullest capacity. While I do miss all of the ‘me’ time I used to have I don’t at all feel bitter that it is gone. I love being a mom to my babies more than anything else in the world. I know one day there will be time again to read more, scrapbook again, do arts and crafts, build a bigger photography clientele. Until then I am happy right where I am, in the midst of crazy toddler mayhem struggling to keep the balance.


Sometimes it feels like trying to keep this balance is a juggling act and once in awhile the balls get dropped. I feel like I am on the verge of dropping some balls around here and need to do something to keep them from falling. I feel like I need to carve more me time when the babies are sleeping rather than sitting at my computer reading all of your blogs or blogging myself. Some days I do not feel productive in other areas and really hate that feeling. I feel hard pressed some days to write a post or post photos here when time is running short. So don’t be alarmed if I don’t you don’t hear from me for a day or two each week. I’m still alive and kicking, just trying to maintain my sanity with a smile. =)

It seems like many of us are in the same place these days. Must have something
to do with having survived the first two years and trying to figure out what
the next 16 will be like. If only we lived near each other we could designate
an occasional twin moms night and go out and try not to talk about our kids
every once in a while!

Good for you!! Although I love coming here every morning with my hot cup of joe, I don’t know how you keep up with all your sites:) You do here, your photo site, your photo blog & your business site, Whew! Just writing it is a lot! Like we were talking about though, this is supposed to be something you enjoy, your get away from it all & you are losing the enjoyment with the pressure you put on yourself to post every day! We will pout a little, but I totally understand:) I am happy if I update mine 2 x a week:)

I go in and out of feeling restless about staying home with the kids. Now I’m back to normal. I’m not one to stay in a funk for long. I’ve been reminding myself how lucky I am that I can even have the option to stay home with Kate & Carson. My mom didn’t have that option.
Anyway, I love reading about your positive attitude. Next time I am down I will re-read this post and hope some of your good vibes magically transfers through the monitor.

I understand this. I need some friends first to be able to get some me time out of the house. Since I’ve had the boys all my non kid friends have moved on and, well I just don’t have any friends. Sad huh.

Brandy…Most of my non-kid friends abandoned ship when I was pregnant. Sucks.
