"Oh, Brandi, I am so sorry for you and your children. I certainly don't envy you. This must be the absolute most difficult thing you've had to do as a mother. Wishing you strength and courage as you go through this."

Medifast at last

I start working with Medifast soon (this Monday or next) and wanted to know if anyone else on here had used the Medifast plan. If so, what kind of results did you have? Any foods you really really…Continue

Same or different gifts?
This year the twinners are 3. Which means we have VERY distinct personalities. We sat down and made our Christmas lists for Santa, and I was shocked to see that they only wanted three things the…Continue

Brandi Best posted a blog postWhen you have to tell your kids a parent has cancer
I've been trying to think of an insightful parenting post to write for the past few days and I will tell you now, I am drawing a blank. So right now you are going to get a very personal post from me. In the past 4 months my family has been going through a tailspin of sorts. See, Donnie, my husband, was diagnosed with stage 2 kidney cancer in January. Since then we have been going through chemo and radiation treatments. We have dealt with children terrified their dad was going to die because he…See More

Brandi Best's blog post was featuredEating out with 7 and still saving money!
Ah yes, the old dilemma of wanting to go out for dinner with the kids, and then having to either wait while they shove tables together or sitting at a table made for 12. When you don’t have the normal little family, you know--mom, dad, 2.5 kids (still trying to figure out how you have half a kid)--then you have issues with restaurants. And if you stop at a fast food joint like the golden arches, then you are really in trouble. Have you tried to convince your twins that it is fun to sit in a…See More
Brandi Best's blog post was featuredParenting On a Diet
Have you ever noticed that we tend to go on diet after diet after diet to try and look our best? What are the things that seem to be the exact same in each one? Usually it has something to do with getting rid of something that is not good for you. Not to long ago I was driving down the road, having a long talk with myself and God about my 8 year old and the difficulties we are going through with her. For some reason I had the thought, “why not put my parenting skills on a diet?”That may sound…See More

Brandi Best replied to Brandi Best's discussion Medifast at last"Thanks Tria! Same to you.
I haven't had a problem with the food so far. The shakes are actually really good. I was worried they would taste like nuts, but they taste like what they say they are. I had strawberry for breakfast, and it tasted…"

This year the twinners are 3. Which means we have VERY distinct personalities. We sat down and made our Christmas lists for Santa, and I was shocked to see that they only wanted three things the same. Problem is that these three things are more expensive items, but I know they will fight over them if I get them just one to share a piece. So it looks like this year will be all separate gifts for them. Even if they are duplicates. LOLFor all you moms of twins/trips/more when did you start getting…See More

Brandi Best replied to Angie Hoffman's discussion Taking the Binkie away"Angie with all of mine that were passy babies I just waited until they were ready to give it up. None of mine kept it past 2 1/2 though. And that was my middle son who faced having twin bros when he was just 17 months. We would slowly try and ween…"

Just Don't Say It's Triplets!
This is an article that I wrote that was featured on New Parent.com I had so much fun telling this story that I wanted to repost it here. You never know who might read it and go, "Oh God I totally get what you mean!" Enjoy!
Yep, those were the words that came out of my mouth the day my mid-wife said she thought she saw twins. It was also the day I new I was psychic. Up until that day, 7 weeks and 3 days into the pregnancy…
