Sisters, Sisters . . .
Two different faces,
but in tight places we think and act as one . . .
Sisters, Sisters, White Christmas, 1954
We are sisters who grew-up in two different generations, living two very different lives. One of us spent afternoons with Leave it to Beaver, while the other shared “Sunshine Days” with the Brady Bunch. One of us was Close to You with the Carpenters while the other experienced what it sounds like When Doves Cry with Prince. (For the record, Joyce has no idea what it sounds like when the doves cry.) One of us stayed put and raised her family in small town America, while the other took a detour and enjoyed the big city life before finding her way back home to our quaint Texas town. Oddly enough, despite these differences we’ve always been extremely close. . .
And since one of us is undiagnosed ADHD (because schools didn’t do that kind of testing “way back when”) we’ll just stop here. It is very difficult for us to stay on task!
Join “we two sisters” as we blog our way through life:
at home, at school and out in the world.

How cute. What a special relationship.
Congrats on your new venture.
Hi guys! The site is great. It makes me realize how much I miss working with both of you. You are both so gifted at making life fun and finding those teachable moments. Keep up the good work!
I know how special it is to have sisters!!! I love the pic of you and your sis!!
I am crying like a baby looking at this picture. You two are so special!!! Rebecca is right this blog helps keep us focused on the gifts we bring to children and the gifts children bring to each of us.

I am so happy to find you!! I just sent you a message on facebook through Cartwright’s page. The last 3 years have brought some big changes in my life…can’t wait to reconnect. This site is adorable! I am still teaching in CFB…this is my 6th year at Kent teaching 1st grade. Tomorrow night is the 20th anniversary celebration of Kent. What a day that will be because open house is before the celebration. I received you precious Christmas cards with your adorable family…I just kept misplacing the address…and life was a bit chaotic. I’ll explain!
Oh my gosh! This makes me soooooooooooooo happy! Cartwright has a page? Isn’t he five. Just joking. I know time flies!!!
jeannine,
thanks for popping on to my blog and leaving a comment. i loooove all the books you have on your page! I can’t wait to get out the ones I haven’t read yet. I wish I lived in America so I could enter some of the giveaways…but alas, I will enjoy all the children’s drawings instead
All the best with your blog!
We love all of our friends from Australia! We think alike!
Jeannine & Joyce,
If this site is anything to go by you are both true gifts in this world.
Your creativity, passion for learning and teaching, reading and thinking big thoughts is evident on every page that I’ve opened.
Thank you for visiting my space so that I may follow you back to yours.
I will enjoy spending time here and spreading the word about you.
Big hugs to you both,
Felicity xx
