Parenting Twins Newsletter
 Fall / Winter 2008
Happy Holiday Season!! and welcome to TwinzGear - the source for all your twins needs. We've spent many hours updating our store and adding more helpful products for twins (infants to school age). The NoSqueeze Juice Box holder and the MeToo! portable high chairs are both great products for twins families on the go. We hope you like what you see, and we love to hear from our customers. So tell us what you think so we can continue to make our site even better for Twins families.
The Holiday season is coming up on us quickly. We just finished up an absolutely wonderful Halloween. My twins are 5 now and this is the first year that they were really, really, really excited about Halloween. In previous years, they were a little bit scared of the ghosts and witches and gobblins. But this year, one of my twins spent the whole night walking around saying, "that's just pretend" whenever he saw something a bit on the scary side. It's amazing what a difference a year makes with respect their ability to tell the difference between real and fantasy.
We're also fully in the swing of kindergarden now. I think I might have written about the "seperate vs. same" class dilmena in this newsletter once before. It was a VERY hard decision for us, but my husband and I decided to go with seperate classes because my boys are identical twins and look very similar and we didn't want their classmates to get them confused. We also wanted to make sure our "quiet" twin didn't have his brother answering for him in class.
It's turned out to be a GREAT decision as both of my twins are off to a wonderful start in kindergarden. They are both making their own friends and we've already had to learn the life lessons of how to handle it when only one of them gets invited to a birthday party (since people usually invite the kids in their immediate class). It was a tough lesson, but everyone - including mommy - is adjusting and handling it all just fine. We don't regret the separate class decision for a minute!!
The other thing that I thought I would highlight during this newsletter is some of the new holiday items we've added this year. My personal favorite it the Dear Santa My Twin did it - Tshirt set. So Cute!! I also was able to find some Grandma of Twins oraments as a compliment to the Grandpa of Twins ornaments we had last year. The other ornament that I really like is the Snow Twins. For the first time this year we are also offering a Twins First Christmas ornament as well. Be sure to check out all the TwinzGear Holiday items.
And don't forget to check out Gifts for Twins Moms and Gifts for Twins Dads as well. My personal favorite for a Twins Mom is the sterling silver twins bracelet. For dad's of twins I would recommend the TwinzGear hat, or the Experience Wildlife Raise Twins Pilsner glasses. What ever you decide to get for those special twins parents, make sure you remind them to enjoy the ride and treasure every moment with their Twins!! Happy Holidays to you all...... |
FEATURE OF THE MONTH!
Twins Clean
Shopper
 Each month we feature a product with particular appeal for twins and twins families. Last month we talked about the Ski Trainer Kit. We used it for our twins with GREAT success and a number of TwinzGear readers have shared similar stories of great family ski outings. This month, I’d like to feature the Twins Clean Shopper. This product is definitely a TwinzGear twins store Great Gear pick. As a mother of twins, I do the majority of my shopping at warehouse stores. These stores have the double grocery carts that can hold two children (which is a huge help when shopping with twins). Twins Clean Shopper allows me to protect my kids from all the dirt and germs that are always found on the grocery carts. If your house is anything like mine, I go to just about any lengths to avoid a cold or flu making its way through my family. The Twins Clean Shopper helps avoid picking up those germs every time we go to the store. And it’s machine washable, so when ever it needs a washing, I just throw it in the machine. It’s GREAT!! Check it out here. It’s a great shower gift and can be used as long as the twins still fit in the front portion of the grocery cart. My twins are 4 and we’re still using it!!  |
