life with two sets of twins

being the “okay” mom

twins_back_to_school_outfits_2

I think moms have mixed emotions about the first day back to school. It’s either the most gloriest (is that even a word?) of days or the saddest. This year I am a pretty good mixture of both. Now that my grocery bill will significantly go down and I won’t have to break up 12 girl fights a day, I’m pretty happy. On the other hand, McKenzie and Kasey help me out a lot with the new babies. They know when to put their pacifiers back in or even calm them down by singing! 🙂 I need my helpers!!!

m & k bedroom make over

August 29, 2016

 

twin_girl_bedroom_makeover_1-copy

I’ve been excited about posting McKenzie and Kasey’s bedroom make-over! Their room is ALWAYS the messiest room in the house as you can see from the ‘before’ pictures. So we needed to find a way to fix that. 🙂 They are almost 8 years old and starting second grade, so I think that constitutes a big girl bedroom. Their room was filled with toys they don’t play with, kiddy bedding and Disney Jr. posters. There was also NO storage besides an already filled closet. When we switched to twin beds awhile back, they wanted them right next to each other. Now I think they realize that they already spend enough time together… basically sleeping together is not necessary. So, I knew the first thing I had to do was move them apart as far as I could in a shared room. They also have a play room in our basement that is bigger than this bedroom so we moved almost ALL the toys down there. My dad made a comment like, well where are all the toys? My answer was simple. They can walk their very capable legs down the steps to their GIGANTIC play room and get them when needed. Haha! It hasn’t been an issue so far and they have been great about bringing stuff back down there when their done with it. I’m trying my best to avoid the cluster again and I think they are too. Who likes to play in a room that is messy anyways? You could also talk to mattress experts and browse their selection of pocketed-coil and maybe give that a try.

binder park zoo

August 20, 2016

binder_park_zoo_michigan_1

I want to start by saying that traveling around with four kids is no joke, even if the destination is only an hour away. My family and I planned to spend the day at Binder Park Zoo in Battle Creek, Michigan. We wanted to leave early around 8am (yes that is early to me!) so I had to wake the family up around 6:00am. Do you know how bad it sucks waking SLEEPING BABIES!! Ugh, but it had to be done in order for them to get a bottle and changed before we left.  I packed everything the night before so we could avoid any delays the next day but I still found myself packing everything in sight in the morning. Are two cans of formula really necessary for a day trip? I think not, but what happened if I dropped one and spilled it all over the place? Do you think they’ll need six blankets on a slightly warm summer day? Ha, better safe than sorry when it comes to newborn needs! Alas, we were all out the door at 8:10… and on our way to Starbucks. Moms have needs too. 🙂

I will blog about that special day later. 🙂 I have had so much interest and people telling me I should start a blog about life with two sets of twins, so here I am. I love connecting and following other mommy bloggers/vloggers, especially ones with multiples! So feel free to leave me comments with questions or any advice you may have.
