I love a fellow Smarty Mama of twins. Once you become part of the twin mom tribe, you instantly become a very resourceful person. Whether it’s scouting out gear that actually works like you need it to, or finding the best babysitter, or best consignment sale (plug here for the CMOMS sale – BEST in the QC, mark your calendars for the winter one in January!!) or best activities for babies and toddlers – twin moms figure this out as soon as they find out they are pregnant. We are tester-outers, researchers, information seekers and we’re not afraid to take our babes in tow to anywhere and everywhere this city has to offer. This is exactly what Liz Khodak embraces.
Liz entered the CSP team by storm, as you would expect a twin mom to do, with several blogs ready to share right out of the gate. She came on so fast, that I am just now getting to her Smarty interview a month later and several “Liz” blogs in (also typical of a seasoned twin mom who just runs out of time in every single day:-). Liz is exploring this city through the eyes of a new mama and a new resident of the QC – so you can bet she’s going to find the best stuff ever! We adore Liz and love watching her adorable girls through her lens. And we know you will too.
Smarties, meet Liz Khodak, the newest member of our Smarty family!
