About Double Joy Life
Hi, I’m Marta Raptis — a twin mom learning as I go, just like you.
Welcome to Double Joy Life, a warm, supportive, and slightly sparkly corner of the internet made for twin parents doing twice the work, twice the snuggling, and occasionally twice the panicking. 💛💜💙
Those two little bundles in the photo above are my twins (they’re toddlers now) — the reason this space exists and the heartbeat behind every post. I write here under the name Emilia Hart, which I use for all my twin‑parenting books and resources so they stay organized under one author profile. I publish my fiction and photography work under my real name, so keeping my parenting books under Emilia helps everything stay clear and tidy for readers.
Whether your twins arrived with perfect timing or complete surprise, whether you feel like a thriving parent or a caffeine‑powered survivalist, you’re in the right place.
I’m so glad you’re here.
Why I Created Double Joy Life
When I became a twin mom, I realized two things very quickly:
1. There is no instruction manual for raising two humans at once.
2. And even if there were, it wouldn’t capture the emotional intensity of twin life.
I wished there was.
Double Joy Life was born from a desire to help twin parents:
✨ Feel supported
✨ Find trustworthy tips they can actually use
✨ Laugh through the chaos
✨ Feel connected to a community that gets it
Because if one baby can turn your life upside down…
two will reorganize your soul, your sleep schedule, and your entire Google search history.
In those early months and years, I kept searching for a book that truly understood twin life — the chaos, the closeness, the comparison, the guilt, the double‑everything intensity. I couldn’t find one that felt modern, honest, and actually helpful for parents raising two toddlers at once. So I wrote the book I needed. The Twin Toddler Years is my lived‑experience guide for navigating the emotional, developmental, and practical challenges of twin toddlerhood. If you want support that feels real and relatable, you can find it on Amazon.
