17/52: Bedtime routine
The usual routine works like this: First we give them a bath, take we them to the bedroom and let them play for about 30 minutes. And then we switch off the lights, turn on their lullaby, and let them have their milk. Works like a charm. Usually. But then there are nights when ...
12-15/52: Funny faces, greatest birthday gifts, bedtime stories, and last goodbyes

52/52: It’s a Wrap!
Photographs of our twin daughters, once a week, every week, this 2014. We were at a 4-day family reunion during the last week of the past year, and it was a perfect culmination to the awesomeness that 2014 was. It was also a time of rest, slowing down, and ...

Recently: Our Project Pie Experience
Here's the thing. Anything with the word "artisan" and "pizza" makes me think happy thoughts. And when I heard of a place that serves "artisan pizza", I just knew it's going to be our new happy place. So off to Project Pie we went, my husband and I. And because we love trying out ...
