Hi there! I'm Melissa, the twin mom, home decorator, fitness enthusiast, and occasional pastry chef behind Double Joy Living.

When my twins arrived, my world expanded in the most beautiful and challenging ways imaginable. Suddenly, I was navigating a new identity as a mother of two while trying to hold onto the creative pursuits and personal interests that had always brought me joy. Some days, I'm painting walls while my little ones nap. Other days, I'm sneaking in a quick workout while they play nearby. And sometimes, we're all covered in flour attempting to make cookies together.

Double Joy Living isn't about doing it all perfectly—it's about finding meaningful balance in the beautiful mess of parenthood. Here, I share authentic stories of our twin adventures, simple home transformation projects that don't require endless time or money, family-friendly recipes that actually work with busy schedules, and realistic fitness approaches for parents who can rarely find a full hour to themselves.

Whether you're a fellow twin parent looking for solidarity, a home enthusiast seeking attainable inspiration, or someone who simply enjoys authentic glimpses into a life being built one day at a time—you've found your community. Because while raising twins might be double the work, it's also double the joy—and I'm learning that the same applies to nurturing my passions alongside motherhood.

Join me on this journey of creating a home, life, and family that feels balanced, beautiful, and uniquely ours.
