When something is important to you, believe me, you find the time. This was a no-brainer! I wrote a journal while the twins slept, and decided to share it all on my blog for my family and friends to read.
What about the port-a-potty?
The port a potty is an experience warranting a blog post all of its own. Basically, my twin daughters went to watch me in a 5k race, it was 90 degrees at 8am when the race started, and my friend Brian had to take Julia to the port-a-potty!
