What do I wear to blog conference cocktail hour?

I'm excited to be going to my 1st blog conference, Blissdom 09. And I'm comfortable dressing myself for the daytime sessions. But there is a cocktail party one night and I haven't been to a cocktail party in a long time...especially one that is (sort of) work related. Blogging is a hobby, but I hope to make it pay so I do want to be professional. Are nice jeans, heels and a cool coat too casual? Should I go for a dress? Or do I opt for a suit-type outfit? I have 3 outfits picked out on my blo… Continue

Save $5 on SeatSnug for your child's booster seat!

Here's the link to my blog post on it but I've included details below: http://twoferthepriceofone.blogspot.com/2008/12/save-5-on-seatsnug-and-give-gift-of.html SeatSnug connects to the existing car seat belt and keeps the booster seat from sliding, swaying, and moving around. It makes it much safer as you can see in the… Continue

I've changed my name (sort-of) and my hair!

While I am still a ScaryMom, it came to my attention recently that I'm not the only one. In fact, I was one of several blogging around the internet under that moniker! Who knew so many of us were willing to admit we were, um less-than-perfect and could be, um, difficult? And so I'm officially going by my real name, Janine N. and twittering as twincident because those are the moments I love to blog about. (I kept my avatar in both places too so… Continue

What's it like to get married on Halloween?

You have to expect a few funny things would happen but... Pocahontas doing my makeup? Drag queens hanging out while I get my hair done? The band playing Tina's "Proud Mary" AND The Grateful Dead all in one night? My dad doing his signature dance move, the Mojo all night long? Drunk trick-or-treaters getting on the buses that were taking wedding guests back to the hotel? Austin Powers greeting people at brunch the next morning? I didn't expect all that! It was fun, very memorable, and the great… Continue

It's not that I don't love my kids...

Here's a clip from my latest post on: Twofer The Price of One This past weekend I got to enjoy the pleasure of taking care of no one...but myself. I went up to a friend's cabin in the Poconos and enjoyed time with my college friends. No twins, no husband, no internet. For the first time in a long time my first thought was not about the Twofer, what they were doing, or what I can feed them for breakfast. It was about ME for an entire wee… Continue

A kids party with no gifts? Think of the trees we'd save!

Twofer Thumbs Up to the women at ECHOage.com! I just posted this over at my Twofer blog but wanted to give them a shout-out here! Here's why I LOVE the idea of having a One Gift-One Cause birthday party: * Greener, Cleaner, and Nicer Online invitations mean less paper. * Fewer packaged gifts means less paper, plastic, and packaging to discard. * Guests… Continue

Mr. Scary just found out something new by reading my blog!

I'm wondering if anyone else's better half learns about things going on right in their home by reading your blog? I tossed an item into my "weekly worry list" about my daughter telling me a boy had told her she was pretty and asked her for a playdate. As my husband said in his comment on my blog, "that's the oldest line in the book". I think he was a little distraught considering the Twofer is only 5. So you can see why I wasn't jumping up to "discuss" it with him. I don't want to make a big de… Continue

I don't sleep anymore so now I'm trying to win a handbag

Why is it that when I can't sleep and I figure I'll get up and get some ~~work~~ tweeting done the Twofer wakes up and joins me? They need that extra hour and a half of sleep today...it's picture day! Now everyone is going to be cranky and have bags under their eyes. Only their bags will be forever in a school photos. Looks like it will be a re-take year at Picture People! To make myself feel better I entered to win my favorite accessory, a hangbag at… Continue

Oh for the love of questions

I just blogged about this on Twofer (http://twoferthepriceofone.blogspot.com/) but had to put something here to. I'm sick of questions, and tired of coming up with answers for the really hard ones. I found a place to help me! www.chacha.com. Yippee! I may get the Twofer cell phones sooner rather than later so they can learn to text their questions to chacha. Am I pawning off my responsibility? I think not. I'm giving them a resource that will take the time… Continue
