The Joys of Twins – It Is Truly AMAZING!
I was recently approached by a woman in her 30s at the mall who seemed a bit intrigued about how I managed to have 10-month old twins and a five-year-old at home. She kept going on about how horrible things would be at her house with all those kids.
Don’t get me wrong – she wasn’t rude, but it was kind of amusing to see what an outsider thinks when she sees me walking in the mall. I know some people see me as a walking advertisement for birth control; however, I am extremely proud of my little family.
I truly love being a mommy to twins. Yes, I was scared when I discovered there were two little people on their way, but today, I couldn’t fathom not having Ella and Rose in my life.

However, I am not going to lie – there is a few day to day struggles, but just like any other parent – you learn to get through them and find your own routine.
Yes, they are twice the work.
I’m not going to say otherwise because that would not be the truth. However, it’s not that big of a deal to change one more diaper and burp another baby. It’s all about organization. When you get a routine, you can have twins napping and eating at the same time. As a result, I have a few hours free each day to have princess tea parties with Ava (which is one of our all-time favorites!).
You get double the fun.
You don’t grow out of the baby “phases” so quickly. Twins don’t develop at the same time. For me, I consider that a blessing. When one began to crawl, the other still relied on me for moving from place to place. I imagine it will be the same with walking. Think about it – how many people get to call their husbands twice the same year about their baby’s first steps? I grin just imagining it!
Twins are amazing – a true blessing. They do require a bit more work, but with organization and a routine, you will find this isn’t something you dread. I look forward to each day I get to spend with all three of my girls.

My friend has twins and I love then! I had always wanted twins. Love the “double the fun”!
What a wonderful post! I imagine twins would be difficult, but you learn to adapt, and eventually you can’t imagine your life without them. My mom has six kids, and I don’t know how she did it, but she always says she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Having twins was what i was wishing for ever since i got married. Lucky you! Imagine having 2 identical kids toting around with you! I know you have to be a super mom to raise twins. Thank you for sharing this.
Twins are so cute but yes, I agree, they are double the work! I always wished I had twins. Both my parents had siblings that were twins so I was expecting to have twins too. 🙂
I always imagined that having twins would be a super fine time. Of course, it’s more work, but I think you get double the fun, too!
I love these posts on twins that you keep bringing us. I always wondered what it would be like to have twins, and now I know!
I have twin nephews and they are a lot of work. However, you are right. They are also a lot of fun, too!
What a wonderful post! Twins are so cute! Have so much fun with them!
I always wanted twins. I thought it would be so fun to have two babies at the same time.
I always thought it would be fun to have twins. How lucky for those who get that experience. 🙂 #doubleblessing
That’s so cute, I have seen so many twin posts lately. Loved reading this, always fun to hear others perspective on parenthood, twins sound a bowl of fun adventures.
They are so adorable, I can just imagine the work. I only had one and had to get help.
I have always wanted to have twins! They are so cute and although it would mean double the work, at least, they would also be double the love, the cuddles, and the hugs! You are blessed to have a beautiful set of twin girls, and a beautiful older sister to boot!
I would have loved to have twins. It didn’t happen for us but we have may friends that are twins!
