About the Author

Since her twins’ conception, Cheryl Lage has fully embraced the M.O.M.(Mother of Multiples) experience. Her parenting perspectives have appeared in Twins Magazine, USA Today, Pregnancy, Richmond Parents Monthly, MSN.com, AmericanBaby.com, Parents.com, Twinstuff.com, Christian-Mommies.com, and many more. A featured guest speaker on Martha Stewart Living Radio, ChickChat Radio, the Virginia Baby and Child Expos as well as a keynote speaker at the Mid-Atlantic Parents of Multiples Annual Conference, she’s well-versed in talking all things twins with those seeking plural pregnancy/parenting encouragement.

During elementary school hours, she is a now part-time ad agency producer, freelance writer, and the blogwriter of Twinfatuation.com; but most importantly, she is the full-time, fully-fulfilled mom to fraternal twins, Darren and Sarah---and a happy parenting partner/wife to her dreamy husband, Scott.

Editorial Reviews

Twinspiration is the ultimate go-to guide for the mom-to-be with two or more babies on the way. Part pregnancy guide, part heart-to-heart conversation with another mother of twins who's made this exciting journey, this book deserves a place of honor in the mountain of twin pregnancy books accumulating on your bedside table.

Ann Douglas

Lage’s writing style is very friendly and personal. While reading this book, you will feel as though you are getting advice from a friend. Lage does not preach about having twins. Rather, Lage opens her own life to her readers, sharing all sorts of personal stories about her own pregnancy and experience with her twins. [Additionally] there are little sections called “Double Daddy Perspectives” that talks directly to the future fathers. An invaluable source of advice!

Candice Cain

Packed with advice, personal experiences and humor (often at the author's expense), Twinspiration should be in the anxious hands of every doubly-blessed parent. In fact, any couple anticipating parenthood would benefit from Cheryl Lage's thoughts under the heading "Prenatal Agreements." You will be emotionally richer for reading this wise and witty book.

Katherine Coates, ED.D.

As a new parent of twins, I could not read this book fast enough - flipping pages while nursing, and even sacrificing much needed sleep to read the informative chapters. Lage writes from the heart, making you feel like she is with you through your own twin trials and tribulations. It is so refreshing to read the true-to-life account of her experiences in the early days - the good, the bad, and the ugly. She shares the mistakes and triumphs of motherhood with twins with honesty and a level head.

J. Robbins

The writing is beautifully done and the information---excellent. I wish such a resource had been available when my [twin] girls were born. A book such as Twinspiration is needed out there for the common sense approach to raising twins---I would buy it and recommend it to future twin parent patients
