Sharing vs Mine...Who gets it?

An (awesome) package we had to share. #RulesApply

Many individuals have given us an item with the condition or instruction of "Share it between the two of you." or "I'll only give it to you if you share it with your sister." Now to start off, we are so thankful for the gifts or the thought put into what has been given to us.

But in reality, this is quite difficult or should we say a challenge if it is one item to be shared between two. As twins we have shared most things; starting from conception.

Sibling Rivalry

This weeks post is not a "we" post where we write together, today it is just me Evangeline. The older one. The topic is sibling rivalry and how it has effected our relationship.

Being the oldest between the two of us is great, I'm naturally competitive and being number one makes me happy. My independent sister just wants to do her things extremely well, which she does.

I have come to realize that winning in everything is not healthy or good, in fact according to Franklin D. Roosevelt "Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off."

Twice As Nice: Tiah and Tarah

Loving Tiah is 60 seconds older than her outspoken twin sister Tarah. Born on the 23 of November these girls share the same date with a patent; which was granted for a process of making color photographs in 1863. When looking at the girls it's difficult to tell them apart; even their father has a challenging time. Is it because the girls have such a close relationship that they resemble each other?.. No, we don't believe so; these girls are identical twins sharing Duplicate DNA.

Twice As Nice: Tina and Tanya

Today's story starts with an unusual occurrence. Identical twins Tina and Tanya were actually once triplets. Unfortunately their sibling did not fully form in the womb and was declared dead at seven months. (Read more about triplets here: Thrice As Nice)


However life was still celebrated on the 10th of May 1994 by the arrival of two beautiful baby girls, Tina showed up first and Tanya punched the clock two minutes later. On this same day the earth experienced an annular solar eclipse and our dearly beloved Nelson Mandela was sworn in as South Africa's first black president; what a day to be brought into this world.

The Ol' switcharoo

Rocking it out in our Spice Girls shoes

We recently read the story of twins Ronald and Donald Anderson whose claim to fame was "One twin does the crime, the other does the time." (Read their story here)

This got us to thinking of the first time we pulled the ol' switcharoo. In second grade we were in separate classes. Evangeline's teacher, who had a reputation of being strict and slightly terrifying, had asked to meet with the both of us during break. We were alarmed! 

Thrice As Nice: Kelly, Michael and Sarah

 Today's Twice As Nice interview has had a take over, meet Kelly; Michael and Sarah. Our first Thrice As Nice post! (Get more info on triplets: Thrice As Nice)

In the month of October 1995 exactly 8 days before most Dutch telephone numbers were changed to 10 digits the triplets were born. Kelly is older than Michael by one minute and Sarah is the youngest by two; they have an older brother Jared who proceeds them by six years.

Thrice As Nice

A few weeks back we did an informative post on the different types of twins. (Duplicate DNA) This week we decided to do a piece on higher orders of multiples, which is three or more. So keep on reading for some fun facts you might not have known. We definitely learned some new things!
