Share Your Twin Stories

Jessica Kinsella

SameSame Kids celebrates the joys (and sometimes, the heartbreak) of mothering multiples, and we'd love to share your twin stories to support, educate and inspire our MoM community.

Calling All MoMs!

If you are a mother to twins or triplets, or if you’re an expert who can lend some much-needed advice, we’d love to hear from you.

Photos and stories submitted to SameSame Kids may appear on our website, social media channels or newsletter. By submitting you are following our submission terms and conditions.

MoMma Stories

We are looking for true, first-person stories between 700-900 words that explore the following topics of mothering multiples, which celebrate the joys (and frustrations!) of parenting twins, and that help share meaning, hope and inspiration to other MoMs just like you!

Here are some tips:

>> Answer the question: What do I know now as a MoM that I wish I had known before?

>> Use first person throughout: I, me, my, mine

>> Be detailed in your descriptions, almost like you’re in a movie

>> As always, be kind
