FAQ About My Twins

Multiples have always been a topic of interest for most people. When they are seen they are ohh'ed and ahh'ed over. If people get a chance there's always a few questions they love to ask. So here you go... Frequently Asked Questions about my Twins and their answers.


  1. Are they twins? Yes.
  2. Are they Identical? No. They are fraternal, meaning they came from two separate eggs fertilized by two separate sperm, aka they look different.
  3. Are they natural? Well this isn't artificial twinning here.
  4. Which one is older? Georgia by a minute if that's important to you.
  5. Do twins run in the family? This question is always hard for me to answer because the short answer is yes, my husband is a twin. The real answer is he doesn't play any part in whether or not we have twins. Every woman in the world has a chance at having identical twins. It's a matter and chance of an already fertilized egg splitting. For fraternal twins, the mother has to release two eggs at the same time. 
  6. Did you purposefully make their names match? No. Georgia's name was picked out long before she was even a thought, and Olivia's name was harder to come by. It's by chance they end the same but we did however want the names to complement each other. 
  7. Why don't you dress them the same? Because they are individuals and shouldn't have to be the same all the time just because they were born at the same time. 
Those are the questions I get asked most. I know they'll have a ton more when they get older, like can you read each others minds and if one gets hurt can the other feel it. Silly. I do hope they have an extremely close and special bond though.

Free Samples and Offers

I wanted to get this out soon as possible as I know the Holidays are upon us and everyone is looking to save some money this time of year. This post is geared towards parents of multiples but if you have singletons please feel free to reach out to the companies below too for some free samples and offers, but please be aware some offers might not apply to you. If you’re like me then the minute your babies were born you were online looking at deals and ways to save money. I came across a lot of blog posts and articles stating if you contact this company then they will send you this product free. I thought how true is this? So I put them to the test. I took many lists from the internet and combined it into one giant list of baby product companies; I then emailed and mailed each company requesting free samples due to the birth of my twin girls. Below you will find the responses I received. Some companies were great, while others were….off putting. I included coupon codes I found o...

The Dreaded Questions

I knew I always wanted to be a mom.... Even before I knew I would be married. I'm not really one to plan out my entire life. I never made a 'list' on qualities I wanted in a guy. I never had a "dream wedding" planned out. I never planned on when I was going to have kids. How many kids. What their names were going to be etc. etc. Lots of girls do all of those things and I don't think there is anything "wrong" with this but the reason I chose NOT to do any of them was because I never knew if they were meant for me. I never knew if I would ever get to those stages in my life. Even if I did, what if I had planned out my entire wedding and my future husband hated all those plans or had in his head a different way to do things? It's as much his wedding as it is mine - Seems unfair for me to choose everything I want without his opinions.... With all that said, I knew I wanted to have kids I just didn't know when that was going to happen. Occasio...

Married Life - 4 Months In

I t has been a little over 4 months since I got married.  Married life is sort of what you expect. I definitely had to get used to the idea of someone living with me constantly. One of my biggest struggles in married life so far has been cleaning up messes (in my bedroom, bathroom or kitchen) that I haven't created! I typically find paper towels on the counters, clothes on the floor, towels not being hung back up correctly.... At first it would frustrate me! "How hard is it to put things back where you got them?!" or "Why can't you put things where they go!?" - would often be the first thoughts that popped into my head when I came across these situations. Finally when I actually asked my new husband one of these questions he said "Why can't you keep your hair on your head and off everything else?" and "Why is there always makeup powder on the sink?" Point is....I've been doing stuff all along that frustrates him too! Don't m...
