A Take of Twin Sisters, a Book, Broccoli Casserole, and a Little Jealousy

My Aha! Moment�

One day, back in 2000, I left my twin sister�s house feeling, well�a little inferior. She had just fed me her award-winning broccoli casserole, and proceeded to show me the hot-off-the-press book she had just published and the new website she had created to promote it! Although neither of us would ever admit it, we always had a little comparison thing goin� on (Does this cheesy outfit look bad on both of us?, Is she really 3 pounds lighter?, blah, blah, blah). Before heading home, I sat for a few minutes with my triplets in my not-so-cool minivan, feeling bloated from the casserole and just �a tad bit� envious of her success. Don�t get me wrong, I was thrilled for her and very impressed! So much so, that on my drive home, I could not stop thinking about my sister�s new endeavor. When I pulled into my driveway, I discovered that all of this thinking made me realize, �If my twin sister can write a book, then I can write a book�!

Two Years, One Month, a Zillion Cups of Coffee, and Four Days Later�

I invited my sister over for my award-winning bananas foster and proceeded to show her the book I had just published, The Multiples Manual, as well as my new website, JustMultiples.com. It felt so good to be a twin that day!

Years Later�

It�s amazing what an inspiration my twin sister has been, and how quickly the years have passed. We have been in business for more than ten years, and my triplets will soon be sixteen! Just Multiples.com has truly become a labor of love. The business has grown so much since I published my first book back in 2003. In addition to The Multiples Manual, we now offer a wide variety of fun and convenient products for families with young twins and triplets.

I hope you enjoy shopping on the website and find something for yourself, your multiples, a gift for a friend, or perhaps something totally useless for your over-acheiving sister! Whatever it may be, we hope you are happy.

Very Best Wishes!

My Favorite Photos

(Since my parents never makred the picture, we have no idea who's who)

Here we are on a recent family vacation:

(In case you're wondering, Lisa is the better looking twin on the left!)

My triplets, acting goofy in their raincoats:

(Although cute, they never wore them aftert the picture was taken...who had time for raincoats!?)

My singleton, Brooke, at the beach:

(She is being compared to a striped bass, because, unlike triplets, we had nothing else to compare her to!)
