All about Beverley, East Yorkshire
Good content should answer people’s questions and should show the writer to be knowledgeable about the specialist topic. What better for me to write about than the place I know best?

I’ve known Karen Bleakley a long time now. Or it certainly feels like a long time – I know she won’t mind me saying it! You see, us twin mums have a certain sense of humour. You kinda have to. From double stretch marks, double prams, and double the number (or more) of frankly tiring comments from random strangers, your life as a parent of twins is very different to that of singletons – as we call one baby at a time in the wonderful world of multiples.
