{#sol15} loving hands 24/31


The March Slice of Life Story Challenge
hosted at the Two Writing Teachers
Join us for a month of writing!

A day with 
Grandma and Grandpa means
an extra set of loving hands

Lots of conversations
and funny replies

Playing a variety of games
and then more games

 Grandpa's magic trick
and yoga poses with Grandma

Helping around the house
with dishes and laundry

Cleaning up after a yogurt spill
with extra love and patience

Distractions away from Momma
so she can sneak away upstairs

Phone calls and email responding
made in peace and quiet 

Playing on Grandma's Kindle
or practicing crocheting again

Extra smiles and laughing
with lots of hugs and kisses

An extra set of loving hands
Is a day with 
Grandma and Grandpa

    Extra hands are always appreciated. I had to laugh at the momma sneaking away upstairs. What a great week you will have!

    You gotta love those grandparent days! Especially when you can slip away for some me-time. Enjoy your break and that time with your parents.

    And such fun we are having. They are at a delightful age and just make us laugh at all their antics and chatter and giggles. Looking forward to several more days of Grandma & Grandpa time. Love ya, Mom

{#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-in-the-blank with any other
