Share your brief bio:
An East Coast transplant living in LA living very far from family trying to raise inquisitive, happy, healthy twin boys with a sense of humor.
Tell us a little about your family.
My husband and I have toddler twin boys. He works in television production and I have changed careers to stay at home with the boys. A work in progress I would say
How do you prioritize time between your family and your blog?
I normally write when the boys are in bed or napping and will sometimes take time when my husband is home over the weekend
How do you relax?
I try to work out 1 day a week – 1 day of spin will usually dissipate any tension the week brought on
When did you start your blog?
2015
Why did you start blogging?
I am a writer and find it is great therapy. I also believe raising twins is extremely different than raising a singleton so I was hoping to pay it forward to other twin parent bloggers who helped me when I was in need of resources. Hopefully, helping a new twin parent know they are not alone
How did you choose your blog name?
We all go from waxed eyebrows, gym memberships, lunch with friends and ample sleep to no showers, no sleep and no exercise or cute clothes when we give birth – a newborn can suck the coolness right out of you
What keeps you motivated and inspired to blog?
I love writing.
Where do you see your blog and yourself in 5 years?
Hopefully with a loyal following and garnering income.

It is a mini job.

Sense of humor
