TwiceBabies Mom: Twins as Individuals

Meal Planning Made Easy

Life can get busy. Between hectic schedules and other commitments, it’s easy to be always on the go. Here are three ways to save time and take back your week.

Start on Sunday

Take an hour of your Sunday to plan for the rest of the week — it can make all the difference! Set aside some time, even if it’s just 30 minutes, to schedule your week and prepare for what’s coming your way.

Stagger Chores

Instead of spending a whole afternoon cleaning, assign a day of the week to each room of the house. Set a timer and spend just 15-20 minutes working on a specific room. When the timer goes off, stop for the day! By giving yourself a timeframe, you’ll be more focused and less likely to stop or get distracted.

Skip Meal Planning

Between selecting the right meals and shopping for ingredients, meal planning can take hours. Grab a Blue Apron meal subscription and save time feeding your family throughout the week. Choose between the 2-Person Plan or the 4-Person Family Plan and get your meals and ingredients delivered to your door. Each week, you can select which recipes you’d like to try. You’ll never run out of dinner idea again! Right now, Blue Apron is offering $30 off your first box. Check out this week’s recipes or sign up at BlueApron.com.

Twins as Individuals

Twins are indeed seperate little persons. Infact, they are seperate human beings. Mine are just that, seperate little persons.

Sometimes, I catch myself treating them as if they are one.

I say this because when it is naptime, feeding time, playtime, or bathtime, I do it all at the same time with them, together.

Do you think they know they are seperate from each other?

You bet I do. I can tell you this because if they were one, they would not be fighting with each other. They would instead love each other.

I have to tell them to love each other.

This is why I Daddy and I have special times with our girls, one on one. This, I created on my own and believe it helps them with they self esteem and knowing Daddy and Mommy love them, seperately.
