One and the Same, by Abigail Pogrebin (Book Review)
With fraternal twin sons, I always thought I was fairly knowledgeable about "everything twins" -- that is, until I read the book, One and the Same: My Life as an Identical Twin and What I've Learned About Everyone's Struggle to Be Singular. This book is a goldmine of information and insight into the twin experience, written by a woman who's an identical twin herself. Click to read the rest of this entry
Entertain Twins On-the-Go with a Cahootie!
We're heading to Disney World with our soon-to-be
six-year-old twins very soon. I'm looking forward to our visit, but not to the
long car ride there. How am I going to keep my boys entertained for several
hours? I was recently sent a great idea for doing just that. It's called a
Cahootie! Did you ever play with "cootie catchers" as a kid? You may have
called them "fortune tellers" or some other name. The only problem was that

Book Review: Two Snowflakes, by Jennifer Miller
Review by Susan M. Heim
Two Snowflakes is a charming children's book about identical twin snowflakes, Phina and Bella, who appear to be exactly alike, but aren't quite the same when you get to know them ... just like real twins! The twin snowflakes like being twins because they always have each other, but they also get tired of being seen as exactly the same when they like to do different things. At the end of the story, they meet up with real twin girls and melt on their tongues to be with them forever!
Author Jennifer Miller was inspired to write this delightful book by her own twin daughters, Josie and Anna. At the end of the book, she writes about her twins' battle with Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome (TTTS), a deadly complication that can arise with an identical twin pregnancy. Fortunately, though they had to be delivered early by emergency C-section, Josie and Anna have thrived and are doing well. Click to read the rest of this entry
Book Review: Twin Souls: A Message of Hope for the New Millennium
When I
first heard about the book, Twin Souls: A
Message of Hope for the New Millennium, by Elizabeth Anne Hill with
Catherine Mary Hill, I expected it to be one of those typical memoirs where
someone loses a close family member and comes through the grieving process with
a new perspective. In truth, that is only a very small part of Twin Souls.
Elizabeth ("Betsy") and Catherine ("Cathy") were identical twins, but their similarities pretty much ended with their appearance. They were opposites throughout their lives and argued about almost everything, including religion and politics. But then, on October 25, 2002, Elizabeth received the devastating news that Cathy, a United States Border Patrol Agent, had been killed when her Jeep rolled over while she was on patrol.
