This was exactly 2 years ago! Sometimes I find myself thinking of these days when they were so little. I feel guilt as I wished the days and nights away and maybe I didn’t enjoy it as much as I wished. They were absolutely gorgeous, perfect. But they DID NOT sleep. They were full on. As they are now as toddlers….but babies are different. I still feel confused about how I managed with two babies at once. Like logistically how the heck did I do it. Walking and standing makes life so much easier.. well, In a way. In other ways the running off and throwing themselves around in a tantrum and the biting …and the hyper twin hamster race at 4-6pm (I swear they are on something) doesn’t. But you know what I mean. Floppy babies are not easy to carry. The feeding. The weaning. The sick. Omg. So actually I am glad I am looking back at feeling like I miss these days as it’s taken me a long time to feel that! I also think it’s because now the girls are two and a half. They are people. With lively and happy personalities. Sassy, dramatic. Wonderful. Loving and just awesome in every sense. I adore them more than I can put it to words. So looking back at the baby pics I see who they are growing into. Who they will become. And see that I had a part in that. As did Ross and Reuben. We kinda rocked it. I mean on the path there was nearly divorce, a lot of Dr visits. Mental health took a massively dip. But we did it. F**k knows how. So anyone having a tough time in that first year. I hear you. I feel you and I swear it gets better. It doesn’t mean it gets easier always but it gets better!! . . . #twins #parenting #hardparentingmoments #mumwarrior #identicaltwins #twinsplusone #mumoftwins #twinsisters #dadoftwins #twinpregnancy #twinparents #blogger #mumbloggeruk #mumblog #toddlertwins #toddlers #twinsplusone #mumofthree #twinnies #motherofdragons #reallife #mindfulparenting #newborntwins #newbornbaby #newborngirl #babygirl #mumblog

My little tree. ‘The tale of the three trees’. What a performance! All the kids did so well to memorise their lines. Seeing all their personalities come to life 🥰 Particularly proud of Reu. Well done. You are such a beautiful little boy, inside and out. I bloody love this kid. 😍❤️ 🌴🌲🌳 . . . . . #easter #easterplay #easterperformance #mymainman #myguy #blondie

On this International Women’s Day, I’m sending a shoutout to my three-year-old girls, that will be navigating a world that still has so much catching up to do on the equality front. My little forces are already impressing me with their independence and growing up to be strong, fierce and pushing boundaries, daily. (Sometimes when I need them to calm down 😂) Here’s to teaching them that being strong, independent girls is not just an option—it’s a superpower they possess from the start. I know their journey will be filled with opportunities to break through glass ceilings, leaving a trail for others to follow. When blogging on International Women’s Day, I have to acknowledge the gross rules and regulations in many countries, including the U.S. Women’s rights are non-negotiable. I struggle with this. It makes me angry, I can’t begin to write my true thoughts. And I can’t ignore this also, especially so close to Mother’s Day…I hardly blog but what’s happening in the world is not unnoticed. So, my heart goes out to all the mums (and parents) who’ve faced the unimaginable loss of their children due to conflicts and the actions of war. I can’t bring myself to even try and imagine the pain. This shouldn’t be happening. We can’t keep ignoring this. . . . #internationalwomensday #womensupportingwomen #womensupportwomen #IWD #IWD24 #twingirls #twinmum #equality #justice #womensrights #feminist #women #strongwomen #inequality #inclusion #twinsisters #identicaltwins

Ahh World Book Day 📚⚡️ The girls first official one. They were so excited. I had planned for them to be mermaids, one of their favourite books is about a mermaid who needs to go to bed. However, they didn’t want to be mermaids. They wanted to firstly be Spider-Man or Batman, but we settled on an astronaut and a pirate (from their Peppa Pig books) Reuben has been really tricky this morning. He wasn’t feeling it. And the stress that you don’t see in these pictures are the parents frantically trying to get a costume sorted. Dealing with multiple personalities and quite frankly mini dictators. Trying to get them all to school on time then to have a morning of meetings where you look like you have been dragged through a bush backwards. 💁🏽‍♀️ . . . #worldbookday #harrypotter #peppapig #astronaut #pirate #worldbookday24 #twins #twinsofinstagram #identicaltwins #twinmum #workingmum #parentlife #realparenting #reading #twinsplusone #mumofthree #twinning #twingirls

Sometimes they get on. 😂❤️ They are playing well together. Not fighting- at present. It’s very cute watching them grow up and hearing all the little conversations they have. But for some real parenting stress…which is what we are here for…Currently as I type this. I’m sat in the car. Pulled over in a village. As softplay is over 30 mins away. Alice is car sick. We have sickness bands. We have sugary sweets. Air con on. Sometimes this just happens and it’s bloody annoying and gives me such anxiety. Anyone else have this? Cause it makes driving with them so stressful! (Ross is with me. But this has happened a lot when I’ve been on my own with them.) .. Edit. We have got here. No chunder in the vehicle. And omg and….we have reached the milestone of letting them play on their own at softplay. #winnning . twinstagram #twinmom #twinsplusone #identicaltwins #twintoddlers #toddlertwins #sisters #twinmemes #carsick #advice #twingirls #girltwins #weekend #bestfriends #sunday #twinning #softplay #parenthood #motherhood

Rarely get chance to blog but will do my best to let you know how January is going…. It’s been a whirlwind or positivity and stress. …back to school, work is manic, new beds for the twins which started off really well but we now have Alice crawling around the floor like a creature from a horror film but giggly as she climbs into Daisy’s bed then dead panning me and saying ‘what’. We are still having issues with potty training. It’s just not 💯 yet. We had tummy issues with the girls over Xmas. We are half there but I feel severe mum shame ( Legit, why the hell do we do this to ourselves when we absolutely would not do this to other parents) but we have had obstacles that we have had to overcome and I will be honest, 3-year-olds are intense. I think when Reuben was 3 the challenges, we faced with him were masked with having newborn twins and the fact there was just one three-year-old to contend with. Twin three-year-olds are a different ball game. I also think, and this is just my opinion and experience that girls just have a little more attitude at this age....I think right now my girls are learning.. fast.. how to push boundaries, they are figuring out the way of the world and realising that some things just don’t go their way and they can now voice how they feel about that, yet lack that rationality that I so wish three-year-olds have. So to put it bluntly..I have two intelligent three-year-olds twins going through the same developmental leaps…that do not like rules and the word no and WILL have something to say about it and do the opposite of what I need them to do. Anyone else relate? Besides that I am absolutely loving their quirks, their little personalities and they wow me everyday. I am so lucky to have been chosen to be their mummy and I do my best to hold on to all the lovely moments as I know it just goes so fast. But also. Allow myself to give myself a break. It’s not easy.
