Hi, I’m Janani Viswanathan, an ex-software professional, a bookaholic and a contended stay@home parent. My highest designation being the mother of my twins. 🙂
I am from the most colourful and beautiful country, India. Raising twins in India can be difficult at times. You may not get the needed practical, psychological or emotional guidance. Nevertheless, it can also be easier. You cannot overlook the kind of family support you may get. You always need an army of people when you are raising twins! LoL 😉
My parenting journey started jubilantly as like every other mom. But as days passed, I had to face real challenges. Juggling between the twins, handling their tantrums, sleep issues, potty training everything was draining my energy.
I reached out on the web to find suggestions for my twin parenting queries. Sometimes the answers were relevant and sometimes not. I continued to parent on a trial and error basis!! The upside of these obstacles was that I learnt a lot! A LOT!!
I used to think, how easy it would be if I can find everything about raising twins in one place? What to expect, how to handle or resolve the twin parenting challenges? This was playing back in my mind for a long time.
Then something happened in our home which coincided with this idea and paved the way for Twins and Me. [To know the back story you may have to read this.] So, after a lot of dubiety and pondering about whether I can do this or not, I finally launched my brainchild Twins and Me in June 2016!
From then on it has been a gratifying and enlightening journey which I hope will continue for many more years. I continue to learn incredibly from other parents as well as from raising my own twins. Sharing my experience and the knowledge I have gathered gives a sense of fulfilment and exuberance.
