Growing pains. They suck, but they're necessary. Watching your twins deal with discomfort as their teeth slowly and surely come in is tough because there's not much you can do but try to explain that the pain they're feeling won't last forever—except, at this point, they likely don't understand, so can't correlate that dental data just yet. Babies start to experience their teeth...

When you're a toddler who's trying to learn everything there is to know about this great, big world we live in, digging right in and getting your hands dirty is one of the best ways to learn.

Have you ever met a toddler who didn't have more energy than you? Probably not. It can be fun and entertaining to witness their boundless energy. But when those toddlers live WITH you and that energy doesn't seem to dwindle by nighttime, it can be difficult to seamlessly transition from playtime to bedtime.

There's nothing that hits quite like the first day of summer. You can almost feel the shift of energy in the air as we slide into the summer solstice.

Sometimes, convincing your toddlers that they actually want to take a bath can be tough. When you have twins and need to get both of them on board, it can become a game of negotiation. One might want the bath, the other might have a million things they want to do first. And if you're flying solo for bathtime, then you can't split everybody up and give them what they want. It's times...

Skip the Double-Take: 3 Simple Tips to Differentiate Your Identical Twins

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. While identical twins share a large portion of their DNA, they're not carbon copies of each other, meaning that their DNA has slight differences that makes each individual genetically distinguishable. About 15 percent of...

If your twins are nearing toddlerhood, they've probably begun babbling and, before you know it, they'll be going a mile-a-minute with stories and tidbits they just can't wait to share with you.

Some people ask themselves what on Earth they did to deserve twins. I ask myself how I got so lucky. Maybe it's because I'm also a twin myself and I'm biased in this department. But having twins and getting to watch them grown and figure out this world together is like nothing else. That's not to say that having twins is a breeze because, sometimes, it's more like standing still...
