Hey, "TwinHappyJen" here, and welcome to Twinstock! Twinstock '09 is now over... but we will be back next year for Twinstock '10! Twinstock takes place during the month of August as a celebration of everything "twin!" See below (and above for the links to the other sections of Twinstock) for all the fun we had this year, and if you'd like to keep up-to-date on information about the next Twinstock (as well as other twin celebrations), feel free to sign up for the TwinHappy Newsletter! Peace, Groovy Babies! :-D

Twinstock Trivia Challenge New! Bringing the twin fun to Facebook, why not try our Twin Trivia Challenge! How much do you really know about twins? (Warning: I've heard that I might have made this a bit on the difficult side... I don't think anyone has gotten a perfect score yet :-p) Just because we started having people post their scores as part of the last #TwinTuesday, please leave your score by replying to this post! It will count as another entry into the Twinstock Prize Pool! :-)

TWINSTOCK GIVEAWAYS

Yes, we're even giving a bunch of stuff away :-) And, unlike a lot of giveaways you might run into, these are specially designed for those of us with twins!
	A free copy of the children's book "Two Snowflakes!" It is the story of identical twin snowflakes, Phina and Bella, who are tired of being mistaken for one another... until a chance encounter shows them just how special being a twin really is! Available on Amazon, it is the perfect gift for twins, or even a family expecting twins! Winner: @allismi
	Two free "Peace & Hugs Bears" from Build-A-Bear (the bears being given away are actually dressed in "peace" t-shirts, jeans & flip-flops!)! When I saw these bears, I just knew they had to be a part of Twinstock... especially since I just took my girls for their first visit (and mine!) to a Build-A-Bear Store. We absolutely loved it... For those of you who haven't been, it isn't just buying a teddy bear... it's an experience! Of course, the girls are still loving their bears, too :-) I may just have to pick up a couple of these for my girls, too! Although for now, I'm happy to simply include them as part of our giveaways here at "Twinstock!" Be sure to also check out Build-A-Bear's Love, Hugs & Peace page! Winner: @kristins4kids
	A free 3-month Family Membership to JumpStart! JumpStart is an award-winning adventure-based 3D virtual world that is super-personalized & wildly imaginative. Kids can create avatars called Jumpeez for themselves and explore magical worlds, discovering and unlocking games, videos, and storybooks that help them practice essential skills from math to reading. This is something that is also very much Anna & Josie-approved :-p They have had an absolute ball playing all the Jumpstart games! Winner: @itstwinsanity
	A free copy of It's Twins! Written by Susan Heim, it is "Parent-To-Parent Advice From Infancy Through Adolescence!" As any parent of twins knows, twins are a double blessing—but also a double challenge! What a wonderful gift you’ve been given to be the parent of multiples! Of course, you know this and treasure your special role, but you’ve also discovered that life takes on an added dimension of upheaval when your kids arrive as a set! These challenges are unique to those in the “multiples club,” and therefore standard parenting books are often inadequate to address the needs of families with twins (or more). That’s why this book, "It's Twins!," is so very helpful to parents like you who are navigating the turbulent waters of parenthood with twins. It offers stories and advice tailored to your own unique family situation. It encourages you to really appreciate your very special children, as well as learn how to handle the extra needs that accompany them. Winner: @MrsCBerger
	A $20 GC to Trends in Twos! Trends In Twos is a boutique specializing in unique clothing and gifts for twins and their families. You will find chic, offbeat, and sometimes silly, designs on some really fabulous clothing and gifts for twin babies, kids, pregnant moms, proud dads and more. Trends In Twos™ will keep twins looking cool, stylish and original! Winner: @LateshaBelmont
	Two "Gaga for Mama" Onesies from the Babywear Shop at Doubleup Books - The Premier Bookstore for Twins, Triplets & more... Winner: @Jenniferliz19
	Two Rock Star Bibs from Dillyhearts - Where you'll find delightful gifts for little ones on the go! Winner: @wkdkmom
	Two pairs of Adventure Banz from Baby Banz - The Ultimate in Children's Sun Protection Winner: @cahaning
	And here's something just for all the Twin Mommies out there! :-) A handmade bracelet from Sheila J Miller Designs! Winner: @wistfulwrists
