The other day I was watching my twin girls play together, and I found myself amazed that I actually made it this far. Emersyn and Mckinley are two years old now, and life is so much different than it was in the beginning. NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING could have prepared me for that first year …
Competitive. If there is one word that describes our family, it would be competitive. My years of motherhood have experienced more sweaty clothes, balls, sport shoes and practices. The talk around the table seems to always bring up sports. So…why wouldn’t deciding the size of your family have a little opposition? We thought we had …
Since becoming a twin mom, I’ve had the opportunity to connect with many other twin moms, meeting many of them through Instagram! If you don’t already follow me on there, please do (@amberkuiper)! I’m much more consistent on there than my blog most weeks! Anyway, I met Amber Massey when the girls were newborns, and …

Every day I observe precious moments between the two of them as they share toys, steal toys, wrestle and roll over one another to get to …
I’ve been a twin mom now for nine and a half months. Truth be told, during those first weeks and months I wasn’t confident I’d make it this far. As much as I had tried to mentally prepare for it, the reality of simultaneously bringing two little humans into the world who were completely dependent …
A couple weeks ago I was asked by a friend if I would share some twin mom advice with another friend of hers who is expecting twins. I was happy to help, but it took me a bit to think back to what I would have wanted to hear while my belly was still huge …
I love watching the way these two love each other. They’re happiest when they are as close as can be, always holding hands and cuddling, and if I set them down apart from each other it’s only a matter of minutes before they’ve rolled and wiggled so they can be touching again. It’s pretty fun …
Yesterday I finally took Emersyn and Mckinley for their six month well visit (they’re now seven and a half months). What I thought would be a quick in and out appointment ended up being an hour and a half. The doctor checked them over and was happy with their growth – they’re still little peanuts …
