First Crush by ohAmanda on Nov 20, 2009Ever since Asa was a baby in the infant carrier, he has gazed at Lydia with adoring eyes. Lydia loves to kiss him, hug him and help him. I love hearing her run down the stairs in the morning yelling, “Aseeyyyy!” When Asa hears Lydia in th...

But I Don't See Them That Way by Live From The Wang of America on Nov 17, 2009I'm probably too sensitive about the twins. Would it stun you to know that when I am with them, large stretches of time will pass where I forget that they aren't "typical"?

Ordinary tomorrow. by Becoming Sarah on Nov 16, 2009There is a certain drudgery in the work of motherhood.  It is a sort of dull and familiar repetition, a pattern of lackluster chores with no foreseeable end. Our day begins around six in the morning.  Charlotte wakes up and I nurse her. W...

And then a walk up a green path, lined with plants of every kind in pots all shapes and colors. It was opening your front door as patchouli and sweet orange and ros...

My not-so-guilty pleasure. by Becoming Sarah on Nov 13, 2009You know what’s going to do me in?  Baby chub.  Neck rolls.  Foot fat.  Rubberband wrists.  Elbow dimples.  CHEEKS, OH MY WORD, THE CHEEKS.  Thigh rolls.  Chunky fingers.  Quadruple chins. When Charlo...

I came into writing as a gift, and . . . I really feel like...

A Chapter In Your Life by Wonderfully Chaotic on Nov 12, 2009"There's a lightsaber in my bed." I uttered that phrase yesterday and I thought to myself, wouldn't that be a good title for my memoirs or a chapter of my autobiography?

Momma always said.... by When Did I Become My Mom on Nov 12, 2009My Mom always told me the best punishment I could get was to grow up and have kids of my own. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't a bad kid....in my early years. :-) Just kidding. I was never a bad kid, but my teenage years? I admit I was more than a handf...
