TwiceGirlies Painting Clay Hands

When my twins were a little bit smaller, and their hands were too, I purchased some clay casting from a mass retailer. With the clay casting, I placed my twins hands in then and oh goodness, their hands were so tiny. I should have put their hands in clay casting when they were preemies, but I did not even think about it, I look at them now and miss how small they used to be.






















Well, last weekend, I took out the clay hands and had my twins sit at our breakfast table and paint them whatever color they wanted. Here are some pictures of my sweeties painting their clay hands. As you can see,my twins had a blast. Whenever they want to paint, or I ask if they want to paint, I always have them wear an old T shirt for their smock.

I certainly hope one or both of my twins will consider being an artist, painting or drawing, when they get older..In fact, if they want, they can begin painting and drawing right now. Art is part of my family history and I still love drawing and painting today. I am planning to do at least two pictures for their bedroom walls. I already have to images I want to paint on canvas, now I just have to drawn them in the canvas and paint them. I know my twins will love the painting because they will match their comforters..

Games For Girls Make For Excellent Birthday Gifts

Keeping my twins occupied means having a lot of games for girls on hand. Right now, my twins have at least three games and with their birthday coming up real soon, it is time for me to look for some new games. If you have more than one girl, I bet they would love some new games. The best thing about games is, there can be more than one player and it is a fun way to learn to take turns and sharing too.

Now, along with keeping my twins occupied with games, my twins also love toys such as dolls like the Groovy Girls Seraphina, Rapunzel Doll with Accessories and they love this Melissa & Doug Fold and Go Dollhouse. Another doll my twins really like is there Barbie-Princess Birthday doll. My twins love birthday's and they think they are princesses. Oh goodness, these toys keep my girls busy when they come home from school and especially on the weekend.
Birthday's are a great time to give your little girl one of their favorite dolls, stuffed toys and accessories. Shopping online saves you time and is so easy to do. Whether you have one or two girls, there are dolls, stuffed toys and accessories that will make your little girl(s) smile and they will play with their new toys all day long and if you give them a baby doll or little girl doll, they will want to sleep with their new doll on their bed and talk to their doll like they are their Mommy.

Making Chocloate Cupcakes for My TwiceGirlies

When I was in grade school and would come home from school in the Fall and Winter months, my Mom would, the majority of the time, be baking cookies or a cake. Oh, it smelled so nice walking into the house smelling the cookies coming right out of the oven. My Mom would bake cookies, chocolate chip, peanut butter and sugar cookies for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Oh, even today, I can still see myself, and my sister, walking into our home seeing my Mom either at the front door or walking out of the kitchen with her apron on and carrying a cookie for myself and my sister. Now, I have two girls, twins in fact, and one day my Mom suggested I have something baking and coming out of the oven when my girls come home from school.

So, as the Fall and Winter season, comes upon us, I have begun baking cupcakes and will bake chocolate chip cookies and peanut butter cookies too. I love baking banana and zucchini bread too.

If at all possible, I want to put a smile on my twins face and let them know how much I love them. I have found some organic chocolate chip and peanut butter cookie recipes. So I will have to make and test them out before Thanksgiving and Christmas.  

The Hills Science Diet for Senior Cats is Amazing!

Being a BzzAgent allows me to test out a variety of products. When I answer survey questions on their website, and if I quality for the campaign, BzzAgent will send me a BzzKit of that particular campaign. This Hill's Science Diet for Senior Cats, is a campaign I qualified for.

Once I received my BzzKit, I used my Free Coupon to take home the Hill's Science Diet for Senior Cats size bag for my cat, Sunshine, to eat. When I brought the food home, I put the new food aside the current food my cat eats.

Now, my cat is very finicky and has a sour stomach on top of that. Since putting this new cat food in her bowl, she has not had any stomach problems and seems to like this a lot better. Finally, my cat, Sunshine,  is eating a cat food she likes.

I have had Sunshine since 2001. When I was volunteering at my cities animal shelter, I saw her and decided to be a foster (parent) to her temporarily. Then, when I returned her to the animal shelter, I could not bare to leave her there so I adopted her permanently.

When I adopted her, I think she was six months old, but I could be wrong. She is an old cat now and her signs of aging are showing. She is slower and not as playful as she once was. Hopefully the Hill's Science Diet for Senior Cats will give her some more energy.
