Moms of multiples tell it like it is

I am not one of the twin moms who shuns the idea that my kids are a unit. They were born together and I regularly refer to them as “the boys“ on my blog and quite often in real life. I figure if I had two boys of different ages I would likely shorthand it [...]

I’m excited, of course, when friends tell me that they are expecting, but I’m quadruply so when they tell me they are expecting multiples. My co-worker and friend Rachel has met my twin daughters only three or four times, but she became an instant favourite with them because of her warmth and humour. You can imagine my [...]

My four-year-old twins go back to school in three and a half weeks. 24 days, in fact. What, you think I’m counting? While I hate to wish away the summer, this one will not go down as one of the best on record. My kids need routine, they need structure, and they need some time [...]

Our family just arrived home from our second trip to the Twins Days Festival in Twinsburg, OH. Last summer we attended a wedding in Philadelphia with our 9-month-old twins.

Cross-posted from my personal blog, Goddess in Progress Twins or otherwise, I think every mom wishes her children would be good friends in addition to just siblings. Some hope age works in their favor, others put some faith in gender, and certainly the twin moms hope that there’s that mystical “twin bond” that everyone goes [...]

I spent part of the weekend attending workshops about twins and twinning. (I intended to post something immediately when I got home, but life got in the way and I’m a few days late). I found it quite fascinating to hear about what scientists know and don’t know about how twins are created. It was [...]

I’ve found that I mentally separate moms of twins into two categories. On one hand are the TWIN MOMS, who are really into having twins. They wear the t-shirts, have the bumper stickers, their kids always match, etc. On the other hand are the twin moms. Lower case. They are the ones who were always [...]

Tomorrow, my babies turn three. This is mind-blowing in any number of ways, of course.  But looking back on this blog, which I started back when they were six months old, one thing that really strikes me is how much the “twin thing” has changed over the last three years. The last 12 months, the [...]
