Mom of twins, wife and educator

       Summer vacation has been great. At home with the twins, at times will take them out to the pool, beach, park, visit my parents or a quick run to the store or doctors appointments. The best thing is being home with them ,taking them outside to run around. Every morning after breakfast while our house is a mess, we go and water the plants, yes they have become gardeners. They water the small vegetable plants and our flower plants. They have grown up to be busy individuals, there is never a dull moment with them. Always exploring the outdoors, sometimes they listen and sometimes they don't. Always putting things where they don't belong. I guess being a child is about discovering and having fun, being creative and open. Being a mother or a parent is learning how to have more  patience then before, learning how to love more, protect them, care for them and just learn how to let go of things that really don't matter because your children are your number one priority.

It is Blizzard week. Plenty of snow all over New England. I have been home with the babies warm and safe for the past few days. It feels good to be home with them, play with them, feed them, clean after them, love them, cuddle with them and just sit back and observe them. I have been working full time for almost 2 months now.  I have to say that I do enjoy teaching... There are some days tougher than other days. Teaching is hard work but it is rewarding when you watch a student learn or a student smile. I do have to say that I was nervous returning back to the full time work field. Being home with the twins brings me joy, comfort, love and just watching my kiddos smile makes me happy. In spite of that, returning back to work brings back my INDEPENDENCE. This word can mean different things, but as for me it means doing me. It means that I am waking up earlier, getting ready, putting on some make up, getting the twins ready, feeding them, feeding myself, planning for the day, driving t
