Welcome to TwinsyTwins! Here for parents of twins and multiples.
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...
When you get pregnant, you often wonder when you're going to start showing. Maybe it's because you're excited to show off your baby bump and you can't wait until it makes an appearance. Or maybe it's because you're hoping to keep your impending parenthood a secret from, say, your workplace until you're further along. Whatever your reason, every pregnancy—and its corresponding...
If you welcomed twins into your family within the last year, you're likely soaking up all the sweetness that comes with having newborn babies in your midst. (Yes, there ARE sleepless nights and endless cycles of feedings and changings, but let's not delve into that here…but if you ARE in the throes of the newborn stage with your twins, feel free to check out our advice for getting...
Getting consistent, quality sleep is crucial to a person's overall health and well-being. Prioritizing sleep, improving sleep habits, and embracing healthy sleep practices can have a significant impact on one's physical and mental health. Sleep hygiene, or the healthy sleep habits that promote restful sleep, can pave the way to waking up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. When you have...
The first week of February is Women's Heart Week. While it's important to take good care of yourself—and your heart!—all year long, the first week of February is aimed at raising awareness of heart disease in women, promoting healthy lifestyles, and teaching people about the symptoms and prevention of heart disease. Heart disease can affect women of all ages. As the most common health...
As the holidays are winding down and we head into the new year, you're likely looking back on your celebratory gatherings with a smile on your face and fond memories of the time you spent together. And now that we're about a week past the festivities, you may also notice that you or someone in your family might be feeling under the weather or seems to be coming down with something. No...
If the idea of traveling with your twin toddlers makes your stomach turn to ice, you're probably not alone. The logistics that are involved are incredible, and the thought of tackling it all can be enough to deter you from moving beyond the, "You know what'd be nice?" stage, completely preventing you from ever getting to the planning stage, where you can actually get excited about what...
Traveling with twin toddlers can seem like a daunting idea. Initially, it sounds like fun. Then, slowly, it starts to feel scary. Traveling by air with those same twin toddlers can seem like a much more daunting idea. The logistics or lists of what you'll need might even be enough to turn you off of the idea until they're old enough to be "self-sufficient" and help with at least...
Anyone who has a toddler knows how treacherous the journey can sometimes be. They'll be walking along proud as punch and then they'll get distracted by something and lose their footing, and you'll be glad you were holding their hand to prevent them from tumbling and scraping their knee. Throwing new shoes into the mix can certainly make things interesting. Especially flip flops, and...
Before having twins, I thought all drool bibs were one and the same. A bib's a bib's a bib. And, then, I became a twin mom and tackled the tremendous, teetering loads of laundry that come with having two tottering, teething babies at the same time, and I've come to realize, that just isn't true. I can now say with confidence—and warn other parents of multiples—that bibs with a snap...
Air travel is anxiety-inducing enough on its own. There are crowds of people, long lines at security checkpoints, and plenty of people who are worried they're somehow going to inadvertently break a rule. The last thing you want to do is throw extra steps into the process. But, sometimes, you don't have a choice. We had our first big trip with our toddlers planned. We were very...
Whether it's at the office or from within your home, after a long day of work, the last thing you want to do is endure a long, drawn-out mealtime with your toddlers, who suddenly refuse to eat a single thing. It's also not an ideal way to start the day, battling during breakfast to see whose will fades faster. It doesn't matter that you've made these meals with love. It doesn't...
