Fantastic 
Out of all of the books that I purchased about twins, this is my favorite. It was really nice to read a book that did not try to sugar coat how difficult it is to raise twins, but at the same time let me know that i'm not alone either. This book gave you great tips and humor, too! I was pregnant with twins with my first (and only) pregnancy, So really had no idea what I was doing. This book let me know that it is hard, but you'll be able to get through it.

Looking through my window!!
Being a new mother of twins, I did not have this book before the kids were born. I wish that I had, however starting to read the book 3months after their birth was just as funny, insightful and helpful. As I read not only each chapter, but even each paragraph, I felt as though the author had been looking into my daily life through my window. I even found myself reading lines to my husband, whom also connected to the book as well. So it is great for both parents!! Highly recommended and I have purchased her next book for the 'Toddler Years'.

Easy Read
The best thing I like about this book is that it maintains an enthusiastic energy throughout. It approaches having twins like an adventure rather than an insurmountable task. I am a physician so I really appreciate the common sense practical advice. For instance, the fact that there is a waiting period for getting into the best daycare centers and it is okay to put ear plugs in, if both babies start screaming together to dull the noise! I liked it so much that I ordered the sequel "ready or not here we go". It also provides advice about what to buy and breastfeeding twins.

Great Book
My husband and I are expecting twin boys and I read this book while on bed
rest and I couldn't put it down. I think this lady has lots of helpful hints and advise about pretty much everything that she lived through with twins.
