Two and Two, the story of my life

my mom told me that having multiple children always meant buying multiple items.
I grew up with two sisters, no more than 6 years between the oldest and youngest.
My mom told me that she had to buy three of everything, and they all had to be exactly the same or we would argue and fight over the one we thought was "better"

My kids are litterally watching the same cartoon, (as i write this) but in different rooms, silly i know! Sister has to be in the bed next to me, while brother wants to be in the play room on the bean bag. They have no idea that the same show is being played in both rooms, (thank god for Tivo)
Two different personalities, but all the same liking to things.

As a mom, i find myself always trying to perfect the way i parent. Before i had my children i had this incredible vision of how great it would be to mother, and all of the wonderful things i would do with my children, how healthily i would feed them, and how i would read to them every night before they went to bed. Of course i was naive enough to believe that i would have perfect children that wouldn't throw tantrums, or mis-behave......ever.

as i sit here trying to create this blog, (nearly pulling my hair out) my son is trying to talk to me in his own mumble jumbo that he believes is words, and i just don't get it.
He just turned two last week, and is finally trying to talk. What a learning curve.

I am seeking feedback from other mothers (or fathers, i don't discriminate) on helpful parenting ideas, words of advise, tactful and proper punishments, and what to expect as my toddlers get older, etc. etc. etc. I am hoping that this will be a positive experience for me to better myself as a mom, before these little monsters grow up, and move out of my home to start their own lives.
(they do still do that, right?)

I have two children my son just turned two, and my daughter, will be four in just a few weeks.
Needless to say, i really didn't know what i was getting myself into when i played with the fire i like to call unprotected sex.

I love being a mom, really REALLY love it. I definitely believe that i can do a better job at it though. This is why i would like to share my j0urney with you, and who ever else cares.
