My babies turn 16 today, and I have mixed feelings about that! haha I'm very proud of them, of course, and the young man and woman they are becoming, but shouldn't they really still be in kindergarten? We'll be celebrating low key today. DS wants roast beef and apple tart for his birthday dinner. DD wants her usually macaroni and cheese and a cookie dough/cream cheese/pudding/whipped cream/chocolate chip dessert that she loves. Monday she is having a few friends from school over in the afternoon for cake and ice cream and a movie, and then next weekend we are meeting with friends for a celebration dinner at the kids' favorite restaurant and then heading to The Ohio State University in Columbus for WinterJam, a Christian music event.
It's fitting that there is snow on the ground today, just as there was 16 years ago when the twins were born during a snow storm, yet so much else has changed. I'm just very, very thankful that we love and serve our Heavenly Father, who is in control, no matter what, because I'm sure there will be many more changes in the years to come.

About Me
- Twinsmom
- I'm a 40-something, divorced mom of teenage twins trying to raise them according to God's ways, not man's and not always succeeding. I'm trying to pay down debt and live a frugal life without neglecting what is important to me.

i am taking about 22 kids to winterjam here in memphis!
david crowder and kutless for $10 can't pass that up
You will have an amazing time! Loved David Crowder, Kutless and Red but Newsboys were outstanding, amazing and incredible! Be sure to get there early. They have sold out every show so far. Columbus seats 17,000+ and they were turning people away. We got there 10 minutes after the doors opened and had problems finding 7 seats together. Our youth group got there 15 minutes afer we did and ended up behind the stage and only able to watch the groups on the screens. Have fun!
