Just as we are working to affirm and encourage individuality in our daughters, they seem committed to being more definite about being treated the same. For example, if one is wearing a sweater to go outside, the other one wants her sweater too. If one is wearing her brother’s shoes or bike helmet, the other [...]

A Pivotal Twenty Sixth Month
August 4th, 2010 by Rachel · 9 Comments
So I’ve been writing this series of posts (on my blog) about how we’ve been blurring the lines of our formerly iron-clad (at the demand of the twin’s, not us!) routine. Things like pushing back bedtime, and going to the zoo when they’d typically be going down for a nap, and taking a day trip [...]

Good-Enough Traveling
March 17th, 2010 by Rachel · 20 Comments
Some families, by necessity, started off right away traveling with their twins (and then some) – because family lives across the globe, or because work required it, or because they’re just plain crazy. As an example of the latter, a friend drove her three children – 26 month old twins and a 10 week old [...]

Having twins doesn’t mean you have to buy a minivan
December 11th, 2009 by jenna · 23 Comments
At this time last year, we were shopping for a new car. When we planned for a second child, we knew we’d need to replace our Toyota Corolla because it wouldn’t hold two car seats. My main request was a car with power locks so I didn’t have to put everything down to unlock the [...]

Strollers.
September 6th, 2009 by Jen from Diagnosis: Urine · 13 Comments
How many of you felt your breath catch just reading that word? Shoes are to Carrie Bradshaw what strollers are to, well, most of the people who socialize with me. It’s a short list, but we love our strollers. I’m not a stroller snob. I had an Evenflo travel system with my first child, and [...]

If you’re going to travel with twins, I’d recommend the Fargo airport
August 4th, 2009 by LauraC · 7 Comments
My husband Jon and I traveled a lot before having kids, and had always hoped to continue our travels once we had a family. Jon is from Fargo, North Dakota (seriously) and one of the most expensive flights we need to take each year to visit family is to Fargo. As a kid-less traveler, I’ll [...]

One typical, crazy morning
July 24th, 2009 by jenna · 15 Comments
I planned to write a coherent, reflective, thought provoking review of Dr. Marc Weissbluth’s new book about sleep and multiples, but it will have to wait. Instead, I’m going to write a self-indulgent, hopefully humorous, look at a recent day in my life. Just to provide some background… at the end of June we decided [...]

Good Plane Fun for Everyone
July 15th, 2009 by reanbean · 5 Comments
I hate to fly. I hate take off. I hate turbulence. I hate landing. All three make my heart race, my palms sweat, and my stomach nauseous. But my hometown and most of my family are half way across the country. I hadn’t been home since September 2005, and ever since my twins were born [...]
