Exciting News for Families with Twins and Multiples

Did you know that today is Twins Day? Okay, it’s not really, officially a day for twins (and I’m not talking about the Minnesota Twins here, either). But I have a lot of news about all the exciting things that are going on for families with twins, triplets and more. If you are the parent of multiples, a twin yourself, close to twins or just fascinated with twins and multiples, please read on.

First, I have a wonderful new website for parents of twins and multiples. It’s called TwinsTalk, and it’s filled with great tips, tales, and articles about raising twins. You can submit your twins’ pictures for a chance to become the Multiples of the Month and receive a free book, and participate in the forums to benefit from advice offered by other twins’ parents. If you’re parenting twins or triplets, please join our community at www.twinstalk.com.

Second, I am collecting stories for my next book and the new TwinsTalk website. If you have an inspirational, humorous or touching story about the twins in your life, please submit your stories to susan@twinstalk.com. Articles and tips about raising twins are also welcome for TwinsTalk.

Finally, I recently wrote the Foreword for a wonderful book called Twin Connections: Stories That Celebrate the Mysterious Bond Between Twins. Author Debbie LaChusa, a fraternal twin, always wanted to know if other twins experienced the same things that she and her sister did. This curiosity led her to begin collecting stories from twins around the world that demonstrate the unique bond between twins. Please check it out at www.twinconnections.com/book.htm.
