Congratulations, Mums! It’s TWO Girls!

No, we’re not having babies, right now, anyway…but we have added two rockin’ women to our little MumsTheWurd! family. These ladies share our passion for bringing you the best for children & parents. Be sure to give them a warm welcome!

naomi-thumb Congratulations, Mums!  Its TWO Girls! Naomi grew up in Hawaii and lived in Texas, Washington and Tennessee before landing smack dab in the middle of Wichita, Kansas where she resides with her artist husband Bob. She is a stay-at-home mom to Roo and Jasper and six cats. She collects bakelite jewelry, mid century modern furniture and thrift store paintings (big eyes and oriental ladies), among other things. Typography and baking rank high on her list of cool. She put out the first Spoon 45 on her record label, Fluffer, and was once featured in Kutie magazine, but that was a million years ago. She blogs about covetable stuff at superdumb supervillain and is waiting for her kids to start a band. LisaHeadShot

Lisa is originally from San Antonio but now lives in Austin with her husband, Joe, their new twin daughters, Franny and Zooey and of course their furry children, Penny and Basil. She works full-time as a high school Athletic Trainer and when not playing with the girls she is usually glued to her iPhone and laptop.

Naomi & Lisa, we are SO HAPPY to have you. Welcome!!!

So, do they look alike or not?

Sorry, people looking for a review, but I need a general concensus. These are my boys at approximately the same age (7 weeks). Do they look alike, or not?
