Zero to Twins » When two becomes four in nine months

Welcome!

I'm Justin. That lovely lady is Lara. And the two of us write about the two of them: Jack and Emmeline.

What's the best way to bring up such a precocious pair when you've had no prior experience being a mommy or daddy? Don't ask us. We're still figuring it out.

What we can offer you is an honest look into our Adventures in Babyrearing: The challenges, the triumphs, and all the events in between. We'll share the days when parenting isn't everything it's cracked up to be and the days when parenting is the most magnificent thing in the world.

There are also product reviews -- each one meticulously tested with the utmost rigor by our two little lab technicians -- and round-ups of some of the most weird and wonderful parenting-related links on the Web.

So stick around, subscribe for an RSS feed or email updates, and watch two reasonably intelligent adults stumble through their first go at parenthood with two of the most maddening, charming, frustrating, adorable, devilish, and angelic children to ever grace the face of the Earth.

When two becomes four in nine months, it's like going from zero to twins.

No one uses cloth napkins any more. If I did, though, I would be stitching these up pronto.

Are you painting a room, a house, a project? This website is super for seeing actual colors in actual houses so you can make some decisions.

Very cool: do it yourself fabric decals for the wall!

This house is chock full of clever ideas for re-purposing vintage objects — starting with a girl’s room but really, there are ideas to be gleaned from all over the house.

Let’s say you were the crafty type who knew her way around a jigsaw. Couldn’t you whip one of these up and avoid paying $765, which is how much they’re going for at Sears? . TOO CUTE. Here it is in action. I love this. Dad, remember all that construction equipment you’ve got in your garage???

We use cloth napkins when we eat in the formal dining room (read: holidays, birthdays, when company comes.) These are adorable, and I have a box of buttons do to something with…

Lara, did you know when your Granny Hoelzeman was a girl the boys would tease her and call her “BeesKnees” for Berniece. Love you. Give hugs all around. Becky
