10 Remarks All Moms With Twins Have Heard

Recently my older sister and best friend, gave birth to twin boys. They are perfect and precious and easily the cutest babies ever to have lived, not to be bias or anything, but these are facts. However, it was not until this dynamic duo made their appearance, did I realize that we as a society say really obvious and interesting things to mothers of twins. So if you are a mother to twins, I hope you find some humor in this and if you are someone who catches themselves saying these things, well we're laughing with you, not at you!

1. Are They Twins?

Nope. Actually, I don't even know this other baby, I just dressed him up exactly like my child and started strolling him around the grocery with us. Crazy how they look alike.

2. I Bet You Have Your Hands Full!

Surprisingly enough, they do everything for themselves and people never get them confused. This is actually really easy.

3. Do You Ever Get Them Mixed Up?

I'm really not sure which kid is which, I just yell a name and hope I get the one I want. Fingers crossed!

4. You're So Little! You Had Twins?


This one is acceptable. You can say this every day.

5. Birthday Parties Are Probably Crazy!


Chuck E. Cheese, bowling, cook out at the house, no matter what the kids have to agree on the part and there is double the screaming kids, with double the food, double the presents, and double the noise.

6. That's So Fun! Your Kids Have A Live-In Best Friend!

Most things are a competition and yes there has to be a winner, but in the end, there is love between them...somewhere.

7. I'm Sure You Don't Pick Favorites *Winks At Both Parents*


There is no such thing as a favorite child...However, the one that's NOT running around like a moron and screaming mom constantly, is definitely a strong contender for first.


8. *When Both Kids Are Running Around Like Monsters And All The Other Parents Smile At You*


9. Are You Ready For Two More?

Nancy, I wasn't even prepared for the first two, how in the world could I prepare for two more?

10. Your Life Wouldn't Be The Same Without Them

Yes moms, you all know it's true. All of the crying and diapers, teacher conferences and learning how to drive was worth it even if you went through it twice. Deep down you know your life wouldn't be half as fun as you imagined if you didn't have BOTH of your twins.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
