Three kids in a pool - questions mums ask themselves

This post was originally going to be ten questions mums ask themselves daily, but then it snowballed as I realised there were a lot more than ten!!Life's questions...Why do I bother having cushions on the sofa? (Please tell me your cushions spend more time on the floor than on the sofa too?)Why do I spend time cooking because my dinner always ends up cold and the kids never eat it if it's not pizza or sausage?Why do I make a packed lunch with morning and afternoon tea (snack time . . .

Getting a DNA test for twins: Are your twins identical or non-identical?

Non identical twin boys

I read a really great post by Emma from Crazy with Twins recently all about the results of the DNA test for twins she had done to prove whether her girls were identical or non-identical. Waiting for the results felt a little like waiting on the results from X Factor, only there wasn't a winner - it didn't matter whether they turned out to be id or non-id as they were still a pair of gorgeous, healthy girls!It reminded me of fun conversations at our local twin club back in the UK where a few . . .

Three children sitting on their Trunki suitcases

 The last time I travelled long haul, I found it really boring. I watched more movies than I thought possible and attempted to doze a few times.

I obviously didn't have children at the time.Fast forward five years - and three children - later and I was terrified about flying from London to Brisbane with our 4yo boys (who never sit still) and our 2yo (who has serious control issues about being . . .

I may joke sometimes about the challenges we face (like my recent post about taking multiple children out solo), but I know that I'm super lucky to be a twin mum.In honour of my gorgeous twin boys, who are growing up to be cheekier every day, here's my list of the cutest things about my 4.5yo twins. . . .

How will I survive long haul travel with pre-school twins and a toddler?!

Toy plane

As regular readers will know, later this year we're going to be making the move from the UK to Australia. This means long haul travel with twins who will be four and a baby just coming up to two. I'm pretty terrified, mostly because my boys can be terrors when they want to be. When they decide to act up, trying to control them is so tricky (did you read about our trip to the dentists last year?)   . . . Keep Reading
