Natalie Marotta www.twiceasnicemoms.com [email protected]
As MOMs (Mothers of Multiples), we share the unique joys and challenges of raising twins, triplets or more that other parents just don’t understand. In spite of what you may hear, it’s really double (or triple) the joy. While taking care of multiple infants is not easy, guiding twins or triplets through childhood and adolescence is another challenge altogether. A support group can show you how to thrive, not just “survive” as a parent of multiples. Twice as Nice MOMs offers a variety of educational and social events. We meet at least once a month to learn, teach, support and most importantly, have fun! We invite speakers to share their knowledge and professional expertise on such various topics as travel, nutrition, safety, financial planning, organization, health for moms/kids, discipline, and many more. We also have several extra events that allow for relaxation and general socializing including pampering night, dinners out, and couple's outings. Twice As Nice MOMs holds a Resale every spring and every fall at the Park Ridge Presbyterian Church. This shopping event features excellent used and like-new clothing, toys, gear, and more. It is open to the public! If you are interested in learning more, please visit our website, Facebook page or email [email protected].
