Twins Playing in Slip N Slide
Anyway, here are my twins running and semi sliding on our Slip N Slide in our front yard. Look at their faces. They are smiling and laughing with glee. They are in their glory playing outside where they can yell, scream and just have a blast. The only thing Mommy does not like about them ever playing together is their fighting. They even fight over who will run down the slide first. Geezzz

Custom Pillows Make For Great Gifts
The company, American Mojo now allows customers to create and purchase custom pillows. American Mojo products are produced by sustainable, employed single moms in the United States of America. The goal of American Mojo Moms is to break the cycle of poverty for single moms and their children. For every custom pillow purchased, a portion of the proceeds from every purchase provides a better than minimum wage salary, a chance at a new career path, and freedom from the prohibitive daycare costs that keep many single mothers from re-entering the work force.
This is the personalized photo pillow I made and I love it. I have the square pillow this is not only filled with stuffing, but the photo of my twins looks just amazing. I am very satisfied with the way to turned out and would totally purchase others.

Designing a Comfortable Backyard
Something else that should be considered when designing the outdoors is the type of outdoor seating that is available. Comfort is going to be key in this area, as you may be spending a considerable amount of time in the seat once it is in place. Some people enjoy outdoor deep seating which allows them to really get comfortable, while others enjoy something that is a bit more firm and easy to get in and out of. The weather may also play a role in the type of furniture that you choose. Teak furniture is a popular choice because of its ability to stand up to weather extremes nicely. It also provides you with a beautiful option, especially when you purchase furniture that is upgraded. Of course, the furniture is really only part of the overall theme of the backyard, but it is something that can make a difference in how it looks and how it is used.
It's a Ribbon Retreat at your Fingertips
Community craft nights might include knitting, painting, quilting and sewing. Sewing will never go out of style because people like seeing themselves in clothing they made from scratch. Ladies are still making their own dresses, skirts, pants, shorts and shirts. Accessories such as purses, bags and headbands are also a great sewing/craft idea.
Women and girls love wearing circle skirts. They are so cute, especially when they are full. My twins call them 'round and round' skirts because when they turn around in circles, the skirt turns with them, with or without tulling. Whenever I go out looking for a 'round and round' skirt for my twins, I am looking for a circle skirt.
For anyone wanting to make their own circle skirt at home, they can now create their own circle skirt pattern. The circle skirt pattern is easy to make and will give the person making the pattern a sense of pride. If making a personalized circle skirt pattern at home sounds difficult, anyone can make their own by looking at the new circle skirt tutorial online. The Internet is simply amazing because there is no need to leave your home anymore to sit in craft classes to learn how to create a circle skirt pattern at home.
It is amazing how much one can do with the right fabric. This is why The Ribbon Retreat sells fabric for all sorts of sewing projects. The Ribbon Treat sells fabrics my Michael Miller, Moda, Robert Kaufman and some others. Having a wide selection of fabric makes The Ribbon Retreat an easy shopping choice for all sewing needs.
The Ribbon Retreat is also known for their ribbons. Styles of ribbon offered are grosgrain, solid or satin, vintage ribbon, dotted ribbon and many more. When looking for a one stop shop for all things ribbon, fabric, hats, headbands, flowers, etc. this is the place to go. I just purchased some cream grosgrain ribbons when I took old fashioned photos of my twins. I needed the ribbon for their ponytails.
For hats and headbands crafters, again this is the best place to go. The Ribbon Retreat sells hats, headbands and flowers too. All of these items are excellent for making and selling hats and headbands with your own flair. Hats and headbands are very cute on infants, babies, toddlers and little girls today.
The Ribbon Retreat will have you coming back for more craft ideas and products over and over again.

Twins at AWANA awards night
S.P.A.R.K.S stands for:
S.avior
P.ower
A.ccording to the Scriptures
R.aised (Rose Again)
K.eep
S.aved.
The season ends in mid May and starts up again in September.
Every Wednesday night as AWANA begins, all the kids sing the Pledge of Allegiance and AWANA song with their right hand over their heart. It is just awesome seeing kids still singing the the Pledge of Allegiance. Kids not only learn bible verses, they learn bible songs, watch some movies and they play games and win AWANA Bucks for learning their bible verses before next Wednesday. Every verse they memorize gets them closer to a vest, Hanglider book, patches, wings and more.
Here are my twins at award night and they were proud of receiving their Participation Award this year:
Emma Lost 3rd Tooth
Emma's front, bottom adult tooth, is already showing, as they always do. Go figure. When I was a kid, my adult tooth never came up right away. It took at least three to four weeks for my new tooth to show.
Anyway, here is my precious Emma with hole in mouth and tooth in hand.
Yeah Emma!!
TwiceGirlies Jumping in Sprinklers
With the weather getting warmer, even though right now it is windy and 65 degrees, I would rather my TwiceGirlies be outside having fun. I mean they have been indoors for what, five or six months now. Now that my TwiceGirlies are riding their bikes, they like to do that every now and then, or ride their scooters. But when Daddy turns the sprinklers on, they are jumping in them and mud. Yes, they love the mud, even if they slip in it. My TwiceGirlies run in the mud too. They are just so precious and have Mommy laughing..

Twins at Golf Clinic
Daddy has been golfing forever so it was just a given that Daddy would show his precious twins how to golf too. Yes, Daddy has been showing our little darlings how to golf since they were three. It is so cute seeing my twins begin golfing in the proper stance, with club in hand, lifting club up in the air and making contact with the golf ball and seeing it fly in the air to its resting destination.
My twins just might be a natural when it comes to golfing. Well, they love hitting the tiny little ball clear across the green as the club makes contact with it. Since my twins were probably two years old they have been playing basketball in their mini basketball hoop, then Daddy began showing them how to golf when they were four. I enrolled my twins in dance class (ballet/tap combo) when the were four; ballet (five), now jazz (six).
Ever since my twins began crawling, then pulling up, then walking, my twins have never slowed down. Yes, they have been busy, busy, busy ever since then. So being active in any sport is a good thing. I am considering soccer for them in the Fall or Spring, whenever soccer begins.

Big Beautiful Flowers and Veggies Begin with Whitney Farms Soil
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Whitney Farms for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
If you are a flower or vegetable gardener, you should begin using Whitney Farms® organic soil. With the soil erosion becoming more aparent today, the only way to see flower and vegatable gardens grow as you wish, is by using an organic plant food designed for growing big and beautiful flowers and veggies. Naturally growing flowers and veggies is the only way to go.
The Whitney Farms© company as been in business for over 25 years making products that allow for:
* low or no dust
* no manure smell
* very easy to apply
* contains beneficial microbes
* Specifically designed protein based blends provide your plants with macro./micro nutrients plants need to thrive.
This is the best organic soil to use, in fact I have already begun using it for my flowers and veggies. I planted some lillies and this soil has made them grow so fast, now I am waiting for the lilly to show up. For my veggies, they have begun sprouting and are still growing. This is a good sign this organic soil is working. I am a fan of anything orgainc or really 'natural', not GMO allowed in my veggie garden. In the past I have used coventional plant food and it took my plants a lot longer to grow and show their faces. This is the number one and only reason I began using organic soil for Whitney Farms© and you can begin using this organic soil with a $3 coupon by clicking on one of the links in this article

TwiceGirlies and Flattened Hair
With that said, a couple weeks ago I was flattening my hair when my twins come running down the hallway to see me. As always they jump on me with hugs, kisses and smiles all around. After putting down my twins I continued flattening my bangs and medium length hair. When I had finished flattening my hair I asked Emma, "Emma do you want me to flatten your hair"? She said yes so began flattening her hair too. Then Abby came into the bathroom and saw how flat her sister's hair was. So I asked Abby if she wanted her hair flattened to and she said yes as well.
I love flattening their hair, it is fun to do but my goodness their looks really change. I mean they look so grown up and this saddens me. So I have decided to flatten their hair every once in a while.
Okay so if you have seen my twins before, do you like their hair better curly, straight or both?

TwiceGirlies and My Twins First Birthday
A while back I asked to review and read these three books written by a little girl, Paris, in the Bay Area, who has twin sisters. These three books are called My Twins First Birthday, Paris Goes To Lake Tahoe and Paris Goes To San Francisco. In the book My Twins First Birthday, Paris writes about her twin sisters 1st birthday and how she was feeling left out. That was until she began planning the party with her Dad and Mom. With Dad she went to order the cake and went with Mom to the toy shop. Paris writes about how most of her twin sisters friends are twins too. The Paris writes about passing gifts out to her twin sisters and how messy they got when eating their birthday cakes.
In the book Paris Goes To Lake Tahoe, Paris writes about how she loves to go toTahoe with her family, even though it is three hours away from her home. She writes about who can spot the Olympic Rings first, racing down the slopes with friends and how her twin sister's like making a snowman. Paris writes about going to Tahoe in the summertime and loves being pulled in a raft on the lake and how Lake Tahoe is one of her favorite places to go with her family.
In the book Paris Goes To San Francisco, Paris writes about how lucky she is to live so close to San Francisco and is able to ride of the cable cars. Paris says if you ask the driver nicely, they will ring the bell for you. Paris writes about how she loves going to see the Coit Tower and that this tower was dedicated to the firefighters in S.F., she writes about going to Alcatraz and how scary that it is to visit. Paris also writes about how her Great Grandfather helped build the Golden Gate Bridge and how everyone today uses it for driving over, walking over and riding bikes over.
These books are a real joy to read and there are more books like these for any child who knows how to read. To learn more about these books check out MyFriendParis and see all the books she has already written. Every book Paris has written will make you and your child smile, twins or not.
