About Me

Linda D (aka MommyTwinGirls) is Mommy to twin preschool girls who keep her perplexed, laughing, frustrated, smiling, irritated, and generally happy from moment to moment. Her writing obsession began from her need to record every hilarious and heartwarming story about her family. She mourned the passing of her scrapbooking fixation over a year ago right around the time she started blogging. Her “scrapbook” is now her family blog called It's Never Easy But It's Always Fun.

Linda D grew up in San Diego but considers herself a Bay Area local. Attending Stanford University was her motivation for leaving the monotonous daily life of sunny, 80-degree beach weather to the more unpredictable seasons of the Bay Area. Professionally and pre-kids, Linda D was deep into the daily life of a Silicon Valley executive running global marketing in a hi-tech company. She then started and ran her own scrapbooking company until the industry changed. Around that time, she had her twin angels and her priorities completely changed.

After a brief return to the hi-tech jungle, she decided it was time to start her dream job as a professional photographer, establishing Solheim Photography. She juggles the endless tasks of building her photography business with her personal life (co-Content Manager for her local parents of multiples club, Gemini Crickets POM club) and her daughters' unending preschool projects and activities. Someday, she vows to expend her energy learning Norwegian – her husband's native tongue – fearing the onset of her twin girls' pubescent years and the tales they will tell.
