Ready or Not...There We Go!: The REAL Experts' Guide to the Toddler Years with Twins by Elizabeth Lyons

February 8, 2019 by Carriejay Leave a Comment

A so-called guide to surviving the toddler years and beyond with twins. Elizabeth Lyons and her ‘sorority’ of twin mums have apparently seen and done it all and have got you covered on what to expect and how to get through it. Trying to navigate parenting toddlers is hard yo, twins or singletons or whatever. These tiny little basically drunk people who can’t tell you what’s up and are hard-wired to throw themselves into danger at every possible moment are amazing but exhausting. So I’m […]

We Are Family, I Got All My Sisters With Me

January 18, 2017 by pluiedenovembre 5 Comments

I love Nadiya Hussain. If you are a fan of The Great British Bake Off, you probably love her too. Nadiya was the winner in 2015, and she is, by all accounts the most popular winner in the history of the show. Charming, warm, funny, self-deprecating and gifted with a marvelously expressive face, she made all of us fall in love with her.
