solsc: head-to-toe 6/31



March Slice of Life Story Challenge

The slowly changing season with the sun rising earlier, P. is feeling the early morning pull.

My early morning riser was up and ready head-to-toe before I was up and ready to go.

P. has always been selecting her own clothes to wear.  She has been the leader of the two when it comes to fashion.  I always bought the cute clothes, but P. has combined pieces that I never would have thought to -- and quite honestly, she has put together some very cute outfits.  I call her my little fashionista.  Then when she receives a compliment, she just glows, and will tell me over and over that "everybody loved my outfit."  

Today was no different. 

A purple Minnie Mouse shirt over a white undershirt.  Black leggings overlaid with a black skirt.  Pink and purple socks.  Deep purple flower headband.  And jewelry to top it all off.

Her twin sister laid in bed, covering her head with her blanket, slowly not wanting to wake up.  After stretching and practically rolling out of bed, M. looks at P., slinks over to the dresser, and pulls out the exact matching outfit.  

Head-to-toe.  And to think there was a time I wasn't buying two of everything, but the girls decided to change that.

    I love this!!!! This story reminds me of Lyndsey . . . she loved fashion, accessories, (especially purses) and make-up . . . hmmm no wonder she lives in New York and has the job she has! ;-) I will stay tuned for P's career choice.

    Good thing M has P to lead the fashion way. This does not bode well for the teenage years, better start a clothing account now.

    I agree with Elsie...you'd better start saving now. Love that she is putting together outfits that you didn't think of.

    You always said "Similar, but different" and that they are - in personality, learning styles, etc. P will lead the fashion round, but M will lead the nurturing round. Sometimes it's easier to just follow was sis is wearing than to have to make a decision so early in the morning. Hugs to all, Love ya, Mom

    My girls are fashionistas. ;-) My oldest went from being a tomboy, wearing only sports t-shirts and basketball shorts to putting together beautiful combinations of clothing. My youngest always loved girly outfits, and always loved shoes. It's fun to see how a taste in clothes develops at such young ages - I guess it's a reflection of self and mood. Interesting, too, how twins can be so different. :-)

    Adorable. One day you will share this with the girls. This will make them smile.

    I love the tug and pull of the differences between the sisters and then at the end a strong connection.

    I hope this was fun to write.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-i...

A Conversation with My Writer Self

I don't know what to write about today. [Scratching head.  Bulging eyes staring at the blank screen.] Write about the ordinary. Write about the little things. Just write and write. I know, I know.  But I don't know what to write. [Shoulder shrug. Clicking fingertips on the keyboard.] Open your writer's notebook. Search for an idea, a seed, a spark. Let it grow, ignite and you will write. My writer's notebook? Oh, that little book that has been ignored?  Unattended?  Left blank? [Digging and searching for my notebook.] Live the life of a writer. Ideas breathe all around you  every day.   In and out.  In and out. I know. I know. [Dusting the notebook off. Cracking it open as if it hasn't been opened in years.] It's time to revive the notebook. Open your eyes and ears to your world that's waiting to be captured and shared. I know what to write about today., but first, let me write down a few ideas. [Bringing my wr...

{bedtime stories} 2/31 #sol16

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! _________________________________________________________ "Time to head upstairs.  PJs on and let's brush teeth!"  My very favorite time of the day is bedtime with the girls.  I hurry and hustle and bustle them along, so that we have plenty of time to settle into a bedtime story or two (or more like three).  Each girl picks out a book and then one usually snags a third. "Mommy, this is one that you want to read. Right?"  When the girls are completely ready for bed, we meet in my bedroom to snuggle in the big bed.  I'm in the middle, sandwiched between the two girls.  Heads resting close by, slowly slithering closer, they each nestle on my shoulder to get a closer look at every ...
