Twins don't always have the same social media strategy - some create joint accounts to share their experiences, while others have separate accounts so they can assert their own space.

“Brain research affirms what linguists have long known: In these first few years, babies’ brains are still growing. Infants may not respond with whole words, but their brains are hard-wired for language. Reading to them, singing to them, and playing rhythmic games with their toes will help them learn language skills."

GIVE the gift of practicality. Wondering what to gift a mom of multiples this Valentine's Day? 💖
We've got you covered with this Gift Guide. But first, hit that SAVE button for easy reference later 😉
Here are a few tips:
1)Splurge on essentials. Self care is probably lacking with this momma and we all know it's needed to handle 💆🏿♀️
2)Warm her up. If you live in a colder climate, it would be a great idea to gift Mom some things to keep her warm ❄️🧤
3)A night out. Whether it's a casual dinner, a movie night, or somehting else, a night out without the kiddos would probably do this mom some good.
4)Make her days easier. If all else fails, get her something that is practical and can help make her life easier at home with multiple busy bodies in the house.
🥰 All of these and more can be found on our site. Visit the link below for more:

Never has the phrase "I am rubber and you are glue" been more appropriate than when you call your twin ugly 🤣
The identities of twins have long been studied by experts in the field, who've found that twins often develop unique personalities and preferences from an early age.
Although they share the same physical characteristics and matching DNA, as you know, they also have distinct personalities and interests that make each unique.
This dual identity creates a special bond between them, as they can both understand and appreciate each other’s individual traits. This bond is strengthened by their shared experiences and memories, which further solidifies their connection. As a result, twins have a strong sense of identity, both individual and shared, that sets them apart from other sibling types.
We’re curious about your experiences. Whether you’re a twin yourself or a parent of twins, how have twin siblings distinguished themselves and developed their own sense of identity?

“Prior to this pregnancy, I never struggled with emotional highs or lows. While I knew friends with depression, identifying depression within me remained foreign.
I knew post-partum depression swung with indiscriminate blows, but I never even considered depression an option in those hard prenatal days.”

It's National Get Organized Month, Twin fam! From planning out your day to decluttering your home, what tips do you have to help stay on top of it this year?💡
We know staying organized as a parent of twins is important and it doesn't have to be "perfect"!
⭐ First, it can help you reduce stress and anxiety. When you have two to care for, it can be overwhelming to keep track of everything that needs to be done, such as feeding, changing, and scheduling doctor's appointments. Being organized allows you to have a clear plan of action, which can help you feel more in control of your situation.
⭐ Second, it can help you ensure that both of your children are receiving the same level of care and attention. When you have twins, it's easy to get caught up in the demands of one child and neglect the other. Being organized allows you to keep track of each child's needs and ensure that both are being met.
⭐ Third, it can help you make the most of your time. Having twins is extremely time-consuming (to say the least), but being organized allows you to prioritize your tasks and make the most of the time you do have.
⭐ Finally, it can help you stay connected with your partner and other family members. Being organized allows you to divide and conquer tasks and responsibilities, which can help you and your partner to better balance parenting and other responsibilities.
