Customer Reviews

Great, but a bit scary!
I have twin girls, and her boys sound like monsters! But it has great tips and is more readable than most twin books. Lyons is really funny and lighthearted about everything. My girls are nowhere near as destructive as her boys, so it was kind of a shocker to hear some of the stories. I think girls are just more mellow or something. But I would recommend this book to anyone. There just isn't a lot of stuff on what to do AFTER the first year of twins!

Truly a Must for Twin Moms!!
Every twin mom really has to read this book. I have read many different types of information on raising toddler twins & this is the best!! The author provides practical information from her experiences (and others) in an entertaining way. Real information from a real mom of twins!!

Exactly what I needed
This book was exactly what I needed. I read the 1st book, Ready or Not, Here we Come and this one was just as good or better. I am really hoping there is a third. It gave me the day to day issues and how the author and other Mothers of Twins handled day to day situations. I have other books that give good advice on many levels, but this is the book that I look to for the real life answers. I have encountered many of the same situations that the author has and I have found that I am not alone. This book saved my sanity. I recommend this book to anyone with twins, but especially with twin boys.
