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.

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...
Kids are cute. They're also expensive. And when you've got two who are growing up side-by-side and hand-in-hand, it's incredibly cute...and exponentially more expensive. Making double-puchases again and again can make you feel like you're breaking the bank, so if you can find a deal on something you need, it can make you feel like the lottery. As we get closer to the holidays and the...

The next few months are downright depleting. And the...
In our household, Halloween is one of our favorite holidays. The "big day" itself is exciting, but the lead-up to Halloween is also part of what makes it so special. Costume inspiration can strike at any time, and discussions about dressing up or jack-o'-lantern carving concepts sometimes start six or seven months in advance.
