Shaz by the Sea

Conor and Caden are on the go constantly, and it's hard to come up with ideas to keep them busy -- especially with a newborn...and especially when it's raining. I often look up different activities either at the Woburn or Hyannis libraries, local farms/zoos in the area, or I even try and find new parks nearby. Recently, I have been using the facebook "events nearby" which shows various events in the area that may be child-friendly. One of my favorite local parks is Simonds Park in Burlington because they have the playground separated by different age groups. However, since it's raining today, it has been difficult to keep them entertained. We watched Frozen for the first time, and we actually enjoyed it quite a bit. SUNDAY : In the morning, I took Cal to Woburn Pediatrics (we are dealing with a gas/reflux issue currently - hoping it isn't a milk allergy like Caden). And Jim brought the boys to BJs to get diapers, toilet paper, and a few other thing

We have spent a few afternoons at my Aunt Kiki and Uncle Marc's pool. They live down the street from us in Woburn, so we figured we would try swimming with Conor and Caden. We just finished swim lessons so it's perfect timing. Here is a fun little post of C and C swimming at "Kiki pool"! Thank you to Kiki and Marc for letting us come over and use the pool. The kids LOVE it! And Cal joining in on the fun! We also love visitors and playing on our swingset. :) Here is Suz with Cal. She brought over these adorable birth frames - Conor and Caden's a few years ago and a new one for Cal! Thanks, Suz! All for now! :) xo, Shaz

I don't know if many of you remember, but when the boys were about a month old, I published my new parent must-haves . They weren't specific to twins or anything, but I felt it necessary to update that post now that I am on baby #3. :) I will start out with the obvious - diapers. As a new parent, I had no idea which was best...so I asked around. People had many different preferences, but both Jim and I love " Pampers Swaddlers ". We find the swaddlers fit best and have minimal leaks. We also like the "wet diaper indicator" line that turns from yellow to blue. So yup, PAMPERS. Big fan. Hospitals #1 choice, too. Here's Cal the night he was born... Swaddleme Brand Swaddles. Hands down the best swaddles for nighttime. I have written about these about a hundred times. SO moving on... Scent free dish soap. I like to clean each bottle by hand (I know, I am crazy) with this  natural scent free dish soap.  It allows me to soak, clean, rinse
