Bye Bye, Preboarding…
Back in January, we published an in-depth piece about the challenges of flying with twins, a task that demands high attention, lots of preparation and an extreme amount of patience.

Teacher’s Pet
For those of you with twins that are old enough, school is winding down and they’re in the home stretch of homework, testing and early mornings. But before the bell rings for the last time until Fall, make sure your twins say “thank you” for a job well done to the Mr. or Mrs. that [...]
Chocolate Chip Cookie Day?
We recently blogged about a ‘cleaning’ holiday, surprised that it had made national attention. But, I think we topped it! This month we also celebrated the ever-delicious “Chocolate Chip Cookie Day.” Huh? As ABCNews reports, this day happened quite by accident (and by a MA native, no less!): Ruth Wakefield was preparing her traditional butter [...]
Memorial Day: Festivities & Giving Thanks
Memorial Day is so much more than an official start to summer, though we do love our BBQ’s, beach outings and boating, don’t we?

Kindergarten can be one of the most amazing times for your multiples. Here are some [...]
Twins and Tantrums
We may want to believe that our twins are little angels. And for the most part, they are. But the tantrum train is inevitable – sometimes, they truly just cry over spilled milk. So how do you handle double the fuss and keep a peaceful composure while dealing with your twins’ triggers? Kimberley Becker of [...]
Water Babies
Summer is fast approaching and soon, our water babies are anxious to get into the nearest pool or beach water they can find. But if you haven’t signed your twins up already, water safety and swimming lessons should be priority #1. Aside from just learning how to be in the water, it’s paramount that our [...]
