Feeling Blessed

Twins or no twins, being a Mother is an amazing experience. Its a blessing, or blessings from God. They are 16 months old and they bring us so much joy. Just their smile or the open arms when they want to hug us, it's the best feeling ever. At times, I sit on the couch and watch them play, maybe fight, share and at times not share their toys but when I see them hug each other, I just hope and wish their bonding and love for each other can last forever. This week I just signed a teaching contract to start working full time. Yes, full time.. Meaning 40 hours a week. Oh my.. Does that mean no more bonding with the twins through out the morning, unless its a weekend, a holiday, or holiday season? Well, on the bright side I can say I was lucky to stay home with them for over a year. After they were six months old, I would work once or twice a week just to get out of the house and make some extra income. However, the down side is that, I am having some separation anxiety.

Going back to work full time while being a mother of twins

Trying to return to work full time is overwhelming.. How do mothers do it all the time? Wake up early, get the kids ready, get yourself ready, eat, try to bundle them up especially when it's freezing cold outside, drop them off to the sitter, then off to work we go. It's like running a marathon.. You never get to stop because if you do then you will never make it to the finish line. Let me start by saying that I have been working and going to school since I have been 15 years old. After high school, was attending college, graduated with my Bachelors in 2005, then traveled to Italy and that motivated me to move to NYC to pursue my acting career/waitress/substitute-teacher experience. You have to earn a living while adding experience to my acting resume. Those 3.5 years living in NYC were an amazing experience that I would never forget. Moved back to RI to be close to my family, friends and now husband, who has been there for me more than 10 years supporting all I do. Worked fu

My first blog- mom of twin boy and girl

Welcome World, This is my first blog ever. Why did I ever want to become a blogger? Well because I was always researching blogs related to mother of twins, etc. I was motivated by reading similar stories and experiences and I wanted to share my own story, my own experience. Let me start by expressing that I have boy/girl twins. They are turning 16 months tomorrow and its crazy how fast time flies by. They are my motivation, my loves, my everything. Being a parent is not an easy job, it's hard work, but it is an amazing experience and so worth it. The first year was tough for us as parents because they hardly slept, one would wake up and then the other did the same. We would wake up every few hours. Of course they say the first three months are the toughest, well for us was the first 9 to 12 months. They started sleeping after a year old.. Finally some sleep.. Some rest.. Some time to close your eyes and reflect. I enjoy sleeping.. But I guess I no more sleeping for us. Coffee ha
