Brooke Asks: My husband and I are taking our 20 month twins girls camping with us over Memorial weekend, and we will be staying in a tent trailer. Any idea how on how to make a safe sleeping area for them so they don’t fall off the bed? This is our first camping trip with them since they have been able to walk…..last year they couldn’t hardly crawl so it was easy to keep them confined.

Big Kids, Expecting Twins, Holidays celebrating birthdays 1 Comment
From the May issue of New York Family Magazine by Natalie Diaz
Double the kids, double the gifts, double the cakes, double the celebration! A birthday party for twins is a special occasion. With the Diaz Duo most recently passing their seventh birthday, our family has a few celebrations under our belt—here are a few tips (and opinions) on making your kiddos celebrations rock!
ONE PARTY OR TWO? Twiniversity strongly recommends you stick with one party as long as possible. Yes, your twins are two different people, but you can make elements of the party about each child. Two parties equals twice the money spent and twice the time planning. If they are old enough, let them pick the location. If you have twins with very different opinions, you can alternate the celebration’s location each year. The Diaz Duo has been lucky to have gender-neutral locations and parties.
FOR YOUNGER ONES: Between ages 1-5, consider the traditional route of hosting a party in your home or in the back room of a restaurant. We’ve had most of the Diaz Duo’s bashes in a private room at La Mela with themes like carnival and costume party. Here’s a big cost-saver: sometimes we pick themes on clearance at online party stores, saving a ton on decorations and goody bags! More
