My 'Must Haves' List

Someone recently asked what is the one thing I couldn't have lived without when I had the twins. Naming one thing is impossible so here is a list of my 'must haves' for twins

1. Letting go of my pride to let others help(I would not have survived this far if it wasn't for
family, friends, neighbors, and complete strangers)

2. I loved having my boppy with my first two singles, but having the EXTRA LARGE, wider, firmer, nursing pillow is a must!

3. With that, I need my Utter Cover:) I have two free hands when nursing!

4. Side-by-side double stroller. I have the tandem double stroller which is great for car seats, but that thing is heavy, large and awkward. My side by side is light, can fit through doorways, and there will be no arguing in later years of who gets the front/back:)

5. Two walkers

The one item I would have liked to have tried is the Bumpo Seat. They don't take up lots of room like two high chairs and they can be taken anywhere.

Now what are your must haves?

Welcome

This idea of creating a blog about a Mormon Mommy of twins came to me when I was in Relief Society with my 10 month old twins. My husband was teaching in Preisthood and I was not having much luck with two everywhere. Being able to contain, keep happy and listen to the lesson was practically impossible. Of course I do have the help of other sisters but I don't want them to miss out on the lesson and the babies are in the stage of they only want mom. Then the thought of why attempt this? Why do I come? (But this is another topic). So then what do other moms with twins do at church????
I thought about bringing a playpen for the weeks my husband is teaching. But that is all I can come up with. So this blog is dedicated to all those out there with twins- heck kids in general ( I do have 4 BOYS)! Lets help one another get through this wonderful life a little easier.
