When you initially think about identical twins, you probably envision that everything about them is the exact same. And, at first glance, it might look that way.

About 15 percent of...

Whether the lady in your life is an expectant mother-to-be or a seasoned mama with plenty of parenting experience, they have one thing in common: they give of themselves to others. Driving children all over the place to appointments or practices. Preparing meals and snacks for two little tummies all week long. Spot-treating and washing endless loads of laundry. Whatever your mom does...
If you're a Type A, organized person, you probably love having a plan in place. I'm of the same mindset. As a parent of twins, next-level organization is key to keeping everything running as smoothly as it can in your household. But sometimes, having a plan can be futile. Take birth plans, for example. It's nice to have a wishlist of how you hope things go, but sometimes, things...
Mornings with your twin toddlers are hectic enough. Getting everybody dressed and out the door in time to beat traffic and get to your destination on time can feel like a never-ending marathon.

Tracking down all of the right pieces to create the right look for whatever you're dressing up as can take a bit of time, and when you're trying to find costumes for your younger twins, it can be...
The early stages of pregnancy are exciting. They can also be scary and anxiety-inducing. And if you had a long, hard road with trying to conceive, the early weeks of being pregnant can leave you feeling extra concerned or worried about how things are coming along. You hope everything is going okay on the inside, but you don't really know until you have your first appointment with...
When you're blessed with a set of twins, you're also blessed with a set of schedules to fit into their wake windows. Feeding schedules. Pumping schedules. Tummy time schedules. Napping schedules. More than it seems you can fit in before it's time for them to lay down again. And when you have to add dual medication schedules into the mix, it can all begin to feel a little chaotic...
Traveling with your twin toddlers may not sound like the best idea you've ever had. Whether you're planning to travel by air or to hit the road on your first big family trip together, the packing lists and logistics alone could be enough to make you want to change your mind. Instead of getting overwhelmed at all the things there are to do before you leave, get excited about all the...
If you're a booklover, chances are that you'll pass that passion down to the next generation if or when you have kids of your own.
