I’ve got the bedtime blues

17/12/2011 | posted under: All Things Twins

I tuck you in and give you Bear,As I brush my lips to your hair.One at a time, I say goodnight,Before I leave and turn out the light. It's the end of another fun-packed day,"Now it's sleepy-time," I say."Please get some rest, both of you,"And I head downstairs to have a brew. As soon as I set foot outside the door,I hear feet patter across the floor.I make my escape quick and fast,Hoping the naughtiness won't last. Before I reach the bottom . . .

Shops need to rethink their double buggy/wheelchair access

04/12/2011 | posted under: All Things Twins

This post has been brewing for the last two years but I'm finally about to boil over. I am sick of shops that are not accessible! I don't mean little stores that have narrow doorways or limited space; I accepted two years ago that I'd no longer be able to get into those. I even waved goodbye to my favourite little Italian coffee shop as we could no longer get through the door once I moved from a tandem buggy to a side by side. I mean big department stores that have the space, but set up the shop . . . Keep Reading

Top five special things about multiples!

11/11/2011 | posted under: All Things Twins

My beautiful boys turned two last week. I can't believe how the time has flown, yet it feels like they've always been in my life. To celebrate, I've created a new meme that was not only influenced by my gorgeous family, but also a recent blog post by Tania from Larger Family that referred to a quote in the press:'Twice the burden, but mothers of twins are stronger and live longer.'Having twins is hard work, but it's a blessing - not a burden. Whether we're in the middle of tantrums or . . . Keep Reading

Taking twin toddlers for a walk, tantrums and the terrible twos

06/11/2011 | posted under: All Things Twins

Last week I decided to take the boys for a walk. I’ve taken them out walking before but only one at a time while the other was left in the buggy, or both together when Husband was around to help catch the sprinting toddlers. The last time I tried to go for a walk with them on reins (a couple of months ago) it ended up a disaster that I’ve tried to block from my memory - we got as far as the end of our very short drive, turned around and came back inside crying (all of us). . . .

We put the twins in toddler beds last night…

15/10/2011 | posted under: All Things Twins

Last night we put the boys in toddler beds. We'd been hoping to keep them in their cots for a bit longer but we'd got to a stage where T2 would wake up in the morning saying 'stuck' over and over again, and in his frustration he'd take his clothes off. If I didn't catch him in time he'd take his nappy off too. We'd had one too many incidents of poo spreading so decided it was finally time to make the move. . . . Keep Reading
