A few weeks ago, we spent a fabulous morning at Mayfield Lavender with the very lovely Rachel Thornhill. I’ve known Rachel for a few years as she used to teach the twiglets Gymboree before she embarked on her career as a photographer. Her work is amazing so when she offered to take some photos of … Continue reading Twiglet Top Tips – Rachel Thornhill Photography
Has It Finally Got Easier?
Back when the twiglets were babies, whenever I met a mum with older twins, one of the main questions I'd end up asking was ‘when will it get easier?’ Always spoken with a slight undertone of crazed desperation, meaning ‘please tell me it gets f**king easier, please, PLEASE!'' 🤣 The other day, as I got … Continue reading Has It Finally Got Easier?
When You Can’t Protect Your Children From Other Influences
I remember vividly the first time the twiglets came home from nursery and started singing a song that I didn't know.

Anyway the journey went surprisingly smoothly. We haven't … Continue reading Twiglet Top Tips – Thomas Land at Drayton Manor Park

Outnumbered
Do you ever feel like your children are ganging up on you? Conspiring against you to send you into some sort of mental breakdown, while they no doubt point and laugh uproariously? I certainly do 🙈 I find that the twiglets behave completely differently depending on whether they're together or separate. Separately they can actually … Continue reading Outnumbered
Can Being Twins Ever Hold Your Twins Back?
Yesterday I had a parents' evening-type meeting thingy (there's probably a better term for it than that 🤣) with Cora's keyworker at preschool (Henry's is in a few days time). The only question I really had for her was about how C is getting on socially. I know her speech, understanding and physical development are … Continue reading Can Being Twins Ever Hold Your Twins Back?
