Hello and welcome to The Collaboration Twins, the twin club and a page born out of the desire to empower all new twin parents.

I truly believe that twins are a gift given to those who can handle them. I’m not going to say it is easy and plain sailing, because there are times when it is doubly challenging; but there are also the most magical moments that few of us in this world get to witness. The first time they giggle at each other; when they start having their own conversations in their twin babble that only they understand. When you see them kiss or cuddle their twin or just the fact you know as a parent they have each other.

There are some elements of raising twins (if these are your first and only children especially,) that do make life a little easier compared to having 2 at different ages and development, such as they nap together, meaning you get to rest in the day; they eat at the same time and we hope they go to bed and wake up at the same time; they have each other to play with and their play will be of the same development stage.

Once you get in the flow of twin parenting, you learn your own twin hacks and tricks to make the load easier and you will see it is both a joy and a privilege. And if you are feeling lost, lonely or confused, we have a community for you on Facebook (The Collaboration Twins Parenting Page) an Instagram and TikTok (The_Collaboration_Twins) and a course on how to survive your first year with twins here on this very website. And not forgetting our very own podcast and YouTube (The Collaborations Twins Podcast.)

I get messages most weeks from soon-to-be or new twin mums who have found the podcast and then joined us on social media and reached out to say thank you or ask for tips and advice. I make it my personal mission to reply to each and every one of you, so however you may be feeling about becoming a twin parent, it is okay, you are in a safe, supportive space and you belong here.
