The day before Mother’s Day

I wrote a story about stressful situations when you have twins in a women’s website. I mean every word that I wrote in this one. Yes, having twins is a blessing. They are cute and cuddly but it takes  a lot of patience and perseverance to survive each day. I want to share this article because I don’t want to be a hypocrite and say that everything is so easy. Here is the article: 7 Stressful Situations When You Have Twins. 

May 10, the day before Mother’s Day, was one of those stressful days. If you read the article, you will know the reason(s).

In the evening, it was time for Nick to check Toni’s two upper front teeth.

To close this, I would like to quote myself in the article: “One thing that my husband and I realized about having twins is that we are the parents and as parents, we have the capacity to train our children. While it is stressful to raise two people at the same time, it can be learned and it can be planned out.”
