A-Hunting We Will Go: 3 Ways to Make Easter Memorable with Your Twins

Allie Walld

Leading up to Easter, there are always three big questions on my mind. One: Will the Easter Bunny bring me anything? Spoiler alert, the Bunny never disappoints.

Growing up, my favorite Easter egg hunts were always the ones we did outdoors....

If you're a Type A, organized person, you probably love having a plan in place. I'm of the same mindset.

Traveling with twin toddlers can seem like a daunting idea. Initially, it sounds like fun. Then, slowly, it starts to feel scary.

I can now say with confidence—and warn other parents of multiples—that bibs with a snap...
