One and the Same...Giveaway

I am truly honored to be hosting a One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I've Learned About Everyone's Struggle to Be Singular book give-away!!! The winner will receive an autographed copy of Abigail Pogrebin's newest book.

Abigail contacted me a few weeks ago and had this great idea to do a giveaway...I was super excited and immediately replied "sign me up"!!!!

Some of you know...J&M are technically our second set of twins...as we lost our first set very early on. We feel so blessed to be twin parents...considering both sets were spontaneous (God is so GOOD!). I am curious to read this book...as it will hopefully spark interesting thoughts as I raise my precious kiddos!

While researching Abigail Pogrebin and her newest book, I came across an interview she did with National Public Radio. This was very interesting to me to hear her discuss the book and its reviews. Also, as an avid Football Fan, I found a unique interview (and excerpt) with the NFL's most famous twins: Tiki and Ronde Barber. I truly hope you will enjoy reading this as much as I have enjoyed researching. This will be my next book to read and then maybe we can discuss...

GIVEAWAY: Here are the RULES!!!
1. Leave a comment for one entry!
2. Become a Follower/tell me you are for two additional entries!!
3. Blog about this Giveaway for FIVE additional entries!!! (leave me the link)

The comments will be accepted until 11pm CST on March 10th and a winner announced on March 11th!!!

I encourage you to visit http://www.abigailpogrebin.com/ to learn more about One and the Same and the author, Abigail Pogrebin. You can order this book from Random House, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and many other booksellers.

GOOD LUCK!!!

18(months) and Life to Go!!!





We are officially 18 months old and we had Ke-ta (Uncle Keaton) over for our weekly family dinner! He is so much fun; he throws us around, let's us climb on him, and flips us this way and that!! We really love having him over to play and it made our 18 month day that much better!!!

I am not sure I could list all of the fun accomplishments they are both experiencing, but here are a few that stand out!

They are recognizing pictures and associating the word that matches, they ask for most things by name, they love MUSIC, they are really good eaters (including vegetables), they are consistent sleepers, they LOVE school, they can identify family members by name (we practice using their Photo Family Tree), Maggie is a climber and James is beginning to climb...By this he feels very accomplished!!! TA-DA!!!!

We go to the Doc on Monday...so, updated stats are soon to follow!
