Today is just another day. A Tuesday.

But it's also a birthday of our wedding day -
my best explanation to my girls about our anniversary.

"Well, can we come to your anniversary?"

I started making dinner of chicken kabobs and rice
and the girls set the table together as a team.

I continued working in the kitchen.

The girls disappeared into the living room
working quietly on a secret project.

"I wish we were having cake."

I overheard their conversation.
Perhaps the birthday reference triggered that thought.

And so, lucky year 13, celebrated at home.

We had the best dates ever, our girls
and they came with sweet gifts.

Look at us with rosy, round cheeks!
(And I love the th13 ... close right? 13th)

P. loves to write, write, write! She also loves to draw family pictures without her sister ...

M. loves her Mommy!
She used purple for my favorite color and the face and rainbow pop out!

{#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...

sols: a gift of words

Slice of Life  hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers . Join in and share a slice of your life. One of the best gifts I give myself is time to write Monday evenings for the Tuesday Slice of Life.  That writing time allows me the opportunity to think about the little moments in my life.  Sometimes those moments are big and important.  Other times it's a funny moment that made me laugh.  Or a celebration, a word, a poem about the ordinary life.  I'm still amazed that I have been writing each week for over three years! Yet, there is another gift . . . My mom and dad have published my writing.  Just this past Christmas, I received volume five of my blog writing.  Yes, I have five books f...
