Turning 40 was the sweet spot of the season of life and I actually believe it was the kick off to each year getting better than ever could have expected and I say this with real satisfaction (will be 66 in a week). And my life joy has been to be the big sister to my beloved identical twin brothers who are going to be 65 in October. My mom: no babies to 3 babies in 13 months in the mid 1950s when there was no ultrasound and she and my dad did not know they were having twins. Total fun the whole way through!
I love this! Every time you girls talk about the radio station I think “if Dawn hadn’t been fired I’d still be living in a chaos”. I ran up on an old friend and actually said “PLEASE! Stop by anytime!” And I really meant it. Because of Diane we have a whole group in our community reading through the Bible this year! I thank God for you two!
I love seeing you two together. My twin and I will be celebrating our 85th BD on September 25. I live in Kansas and she lives in Illinois. My brother in Illinois is planning a family party on the 24th so we are looking forward to celebrating with family. We are not identical twins but have a lot in common and have always got along together.
My identical twin sister and I are 59 and we have always loved it! She and her husband live in France (missionaries) so it’s so very hard that we haven’t seen each other since 2019. We never fight either. We were happy that we grew up in France because they didn’t separate twins in school!
Aaaaahh! When Dawn said, "We built our garden 4 years ago" and then Diana said "Adley's" 4 years old" I was like Oh my gosh! I remember watching you guys first building that garden and I remember Diana praying for a life partner! I've been watching you ladies for long long now and I love it!! Here's to many more years! 👏🥳
My great grandmother was an identical twin. They passed three years apart. I am a teacher. I disagree with separating identical twins on principal only. Some do great together and others do better separately. I would prefer to follow the parents’ wishes and work from there.
I started following your sister, Dawn, a couple months ago because I desperately needed to declutter and make my home simple and I have done it…well, at least for round one. Anyway, I thought that there was something different and refreshing. Then I saw this segment on your faith journey and it confirmed what I was wondering…you are both sisters in Christ with me! Thank you for sharing your faith walk and also the prayer at the end! Continued blessings to both of you!
Same DNA, unique beautiful souls with lifetimes of different experiences. Both of you are amazing, I’m so happy you have each other to cheer each other on!
Hey Dawn I've got one better. I got fired after 31 years working for the same family owned business! When you get older and make twice as much as the younger employees they don't want you anymore. Oh well I don't consider that a fail on my part I consider it a fail on their part. Also I will say I was robbed of getting to retire after all those years of loyal service. Great video you two. Love your channels.
Yesterday, I purchased slim containers (with the pull, from DT) for my frig. They keep my spice jars and condiments all in one place. Nothing gets lost anymore and my frig looks/is more organized. One sheet in use, one in waiting. Diana, the more you share the more I realize how much alike you and I are. I enjoy you girls together. You brighten my day.
You two are adorable and so different! I appreciate you saying how much others' opinions of you matter. It's so transparent and honest. I sometimes care A LOT and sometimes can blow it off. Within identical twins there are two kinds, actually. Are you guys mirror image (rightie/leftie, hair parts in opposite ways) by chance?The other is like monozygotic or some fancy word. Genetics is really not everything, as you two hilariously demonstrate!
Yes… I wonder too because in every photo I can tell them apart so something is different. Y’all sound different too. I believe you’re identical but there’s definitely an obvious difference.
When my kids were young, we had 5 twin beds. I had matching sheets for all of them plus one extra set. That way if there was an accident and I needed to change them, I could quickly remake the bed THEN deal with the soiled laundry.
My sister and I are identical twins When we were you ng we would share the same dreams. We would share conversations in our sleep. As we got older and we moved away from each other we would dress alike when we went to wedding or funerals we would be dressed alike.
Such a great video! Thanks for sharing. Love seeing how uniquely God has knit you together with your own personalities. Diana your comment about loving Dawn's good looks at the end made me laugh out loud. ☺💕
This was so awesome! Being a twin myself, I can tell ya we wouldn't be able to make it through the first question without arguing through it. You both are so blessed!
Great video! Speaking of vacations, when we had kids at home we took two different anniversary vacations in Hawaii (Feb). But now for “vacation” we go visit our daughter and family and WORK! My husband is a carpenter and they need stuff done! We just bought our first camper and he’s been working all summer, so we are finally going camping in September with our son and family! It’s all about seeing and helping our kids and time with grandkids!
I have a cedar chest for sheets, a few pillows, towels, etc. I have very little closet space and a tiny bathroom, so I’m very grateful for the cedar chest.
Liiiiiiisten! You two are just so darn amazing. I love you separately, I love you together, and I literally have tears at the end of the video and it’s NoT a sad video hahahahaha. Love your bond, just alllllllllll around love for you girls. How many times can I type love? 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm an identical twin and it's absolutely a gift! No way to describe it. We have a great relationship, as do our kids. We will be moving away soon and I'm sooo sad that our kids won't be together as much, but God is gracious and so good, so I know they will still close, even from afar :)
I like having 2 sets of sheets for each bed, that way you can make your bed back up right then and not be stuck making your bed at the end of the night when you're tired. (and bc I will legit forget till then, our room is upstairs and my knees hurt going up the stairs)
Awwww, I just LOVED this one. I always feel I'm sitting visiting with 2 special friends. I do wish you'd both come to Park Rapids for the day to chat. Love you both, so alike, so different, but love the uniqueness of each!
All this time I thought I was more like Dawn. After those questions I am definately most like Diana personality. I always have been more country but enjoy 1 day/night every once in a while in the city.
Great video! I always was curious if you two had intuition or physical feelings when the other was in labor. I always wanted a twin sister, and hoped I would have twins as my grandfather had a twin brother.
My 2nd comment this video 🙈😅 I could play the Lightning Round with you girls all day long! Loved calling out my answers as you two did and then laughing together at our answers! I dunno, feels good to know yourself enough to answer questions like these quickly. I think it's good practice for self awareness. 😊
Diana, I so appreciate your honesty about when you have had to fire employees. Communication seems to be the most common issue within the work place. You both are such a breath of fresh air! I always walk away happy after watching your videos.😊
I like camping but it is alot of work to get ready and then to unpack when you get home. I love B and B's. When I traveled alone I felt safer at a B & B as back then the owners were on the premises usually in the same house. If, you two can be each other's greatest supporter that is a huge gift. I love the idea of sowing and reaping NOT that we do things to get things but that The Lord rewards us
I have 19 year old twin girls. We’ve been to the Twins Fest in Twinsburg, OH twice now, and loved it! It was so much fun for them to be around lots of other twins of all ages!
I don't think it's bad to have your kids fight. Your siblings are the first people you learn to resolve conflict with and if you never fight you don't get that opportunity. As an only child until I was 9 I had to work extra hard to learn that. Getting a step-brother was extra shocking because I hadn't had a safe place to learn those skills along the way.
My sister was born 13 months to the day after me. We were best friends. She passed away in November last year. She was everything. We both had fraternal twins. I miss her every day.
Love this! My younger brothers are fraternal twins and could not be more opposite. But to see you 2 as genetically identical and have opposite characteristics is very very interesting! Thank you for sharing!!
I studied twinship in my BA program because my prof has a twin so this was her pet project. I believe though you guys are identical, you are considered mirror image. I immediately thought that because you part hair on opposite. And as I have learned more about you two. I am more convinced that you guys are mirrored identical twins because you guys compliment each other in many ways rather than completely identical (such as those that wear the same outfits, marry similar men, can finish each other sentences, etc)
Camping: You need the vehicle, the camper, the.... AND SOMEBODY AS HANDY AS TOM TO KEEP THE WHOLE THING WORKING. We're guessing that's not you (or Prince), Diana.
My girls are 8-year-old identical twins and will be in 2nd grade starting tomorrow. I have insisted since preschool they be in the same class. They are very different, have different friends and clearly are their own person. BUT....they look to each other for support, and I don't want to take that away from them. I also talked to many, many twins including identical girls in their 60's who were always in the same class and said they love having the same school memories and talking about them together. It's all personal preference, depends on the twins.
oh my goodness!!!! Such fun - thanks for sharing your twin Love with us all!!!! I have to say, i think Dawn has done an awful lot of good in the world, helping people declutter their lives!!!!! There is no space for the Lord in your life when you are too busy taking care of all the distracting Stuff!!! She does God's work as well, and truly she does it Very Effectively!!!!!
We're local to the Twins Fest and just took our 11 year old twin daughters to the festival this year! Praying that they grown to be super close... they are currently, but also bicker nonstop which I'm guessing is normal at their age haha
I'm a 36 yr old twin and my sister and I are best friends. We definitely fought as preteens and teens but that's mostly normal :) being a twin is the best!
When my daughter was a teenager she wanted to go somewhere that I didn't think she needed to be and wasn't old enough to go to. Of course, she told me everyone else was getting to go. So I simply responded that if she would get me everyone else's phone number I'd call their parents to verify that they were letting their child go. Needless to say I never got one single phone number and my daughter didn't go either.
Regarding the firing conversation - I think you would both really enjoy and get a lot out of a book called 'Radical Candor'. It almost exactly address what you were talking about. It talks about how real, honesty with the other person's best interests at heart is truly the kindest thing.
Love this video! Do more QA like these. You both have a gift in communication for sure! I always feel like I’m in the same room as you both are talking.
My daughter, a teacher, had identical twin girls one year. They had their own beds but slept together in one of them. Needed to share everything. Once in awhile they would have a disagreement, and it would end up in a fist fight out on the playground. Otherwise they were inseparable.
I LOVE having a twin brother. We are so different in so many ways, but it's never been a problem. Not so sure if I had a twin sister, I would feel the same. LOL You two have it all. LKMH

I love seeing you two together. My twin and I will be celebrating our 85th BD on September 25. I live in Kansas and she lives in Illinois. My brother in Illinois is planning a family party on the 24th so we are looking forward to celebrating with family. We are not identical twins but have a lot in common and have always got along together.
84!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Wonderful!!!
That’s my wedding anniversary date. So I’ll think of you & your twin on that day - your birthday 🥳
My identical twin sister and I are 59 and we have always loved it! She and her husband live in France (missionaries) so it’s so very hard that we haven’t seen each other since 2019. We never fight either. We were happy that we grew up in France because they didn’t separate twins in school!
I think you could sum up your differences by saying Diana is "City", Dawn is "County" :)
Totally agree
Yeup, city vs country is an excellent option.
YES, perfect!
Diana saying she loves your good looks...and the head tilt laugh...adorable!
Aaaaahh! When Dawn said, "We built our garden 4 years ago" and then Diana said "Adley's" 4 years old" I was like Oh my gosh! I remember watching you guys first building that garden and I remember Diana praying for a life partner! I've been watching you ladies for long long now and I love it!! Here's to many more years! 👏🥳
You two are beautiful, happy and caring. I think you both would be very good to have as a friend. God bless you both! ❤️🙏🏻❤️😁
My great grandmother was an identical twin. They passed three years apart. I am a teacher. I disagree with separating identical twins on principal only. Some do great together and others do better separately. I would prefer to follow the parents’ wishes and work from there.

I live 30 minutes from Twinsburg and would LOVE seeing you there! Documenting the event would be awesome! I love you both! 💕
Twinsburg Ohio is a blast! One of the coolest things I have ever been to.
Same DNA, unique beautiful souls with lifetimes of different experiences. Both of you are amazing, I’m so happy you have each other to cheer each other on!
Diana said it perfectly, Dawn is soooooo easy going! That is a WONDERFUL quality!!!
Hey Dawn I've got one better. I got fired after 31 years working for the same family owned business! When you get older and make twice as much as the younger employees they don't want you anymore. Oh well I don't consider that a fail on my part I consider it a fail on their part. Also I will say I was robbed of getting to retire after all those years of loyal service. Great video you two. Love your channels.
They will answer for it someday before God too. Not right.
Oh no!! That is SO hard. You seem to have a good attitude!! 😅 Thank you for your kind words 💛
Their loss. I hope those younger employees who didn't have the knowledge, loyalty and work ethic that you had were slackers!
Yesterday, I purchased slim containers (with the pull, from DT) for my frig. They keep my spice jars and condiments all in one place. Nothing gets lost anymore and my frig looks/is more organized. One sheet in use, one in waiting. Diana, the more you share the more I realize how much alike you and I are. I enjoy you girls together. You brighten my day.

Genetics is really not everything, as you two hilariously demonstrate!
We’re just the normal kind of twins (non-mirror) 🤣 Haha! Much love 💛
Yes… I wonder too because in every photo I can tell them apart so something is different. Y’all sound different too. I believe you’re identical but there’s definitely an obvious difference.
"Put your finger down" 😂
I had a twin, but she didn't develop properly in the womb. I always wonder how things would've been different...
Dawn = low maintenance
Diana = high maintenance
Neither of those are bad just different and perfect in our own ways ❤
Diana isnt high maitance
When my kids were young, we had 5 twin beds. I had matching sheets for all of them plus one extra set. That way if there was an accident and I needed to change them, I could quickly remake the bed THEN deal with the soiled laundry.
I do that still. One in use, one in waiting. Less cost, less clutter, less storage. Thumbs up!
I am 57 and have an identical twin sister. She's my best friend, confidant, and the best part of me!
My sister and I are identical twins When we were you ng we would share the same dreams. We would share conversations in our sleep. As we got older and we moved away from each other we would dress alike when we went to wedding or funerals we would be dressed alike.
This is fun to hear ☺️💛
Hope you guys will stop by Ireland too when you are visiting England!!
Such a great video! Thanks for sharing. Love seeing how uniquely God has knit you together with your own personalities. Diana your comment about loving Dawn's good looks at the end made me laugh out loud. ☺💕

I have a cedar chest for sheets, a few pillows, towels, etc. I have very little closet space and a tiny bathroom, so I’m very grateful for the cedar chest.
If I could’ve had a sister, I’d want a wonderful relationship like y’all’s!❤️
I have identical twin granddaughters. They are 8 months old. I am so amazed at how different they are. I really thought they would be more alike.
Love ❤️ you two. It makes me miss my Sister, we are not twins. I enjoy how you two interact. The best part is that you both love Jesus.
2 lovely ladies. God bless you both. 💝
Y'all are adorable!
This was fun to watch. Love watching you both together
Liiiiiiisten! You two are just so darn amazing. I love you separately, I love you together, and I literally have tears at the end of the video and it’s NoT a sad video hahahahaha. Love your bond, just alllllllllll around love for you girls. How many times can I type love? 😂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
2:28 I camp- without a camper. It's do-able with tents. Camper not necessary, but a luxury.
Such a great video. Love when you two get together. Fun to see your roles...Diana the "advocate" and Dawn the "laid back". This was fun to watch. ❤
I'm an identical twin and it's absolutely a gift! No way to describe it. We have a great relationship, as do our kids. We will be moving away soon and I'm sooo sad that our kids won't be together as much, but God is gracious and so good, so I know they will still close, even from afar :)

We do the same!
Oh, that's totally right, first part of vacation for decompression and second for advanture!☆
I would love to see you both on tour! I’m not a twin, but it would be fun to see you both on tour. Come to Indianapolis, IN in the future please!
I would also see them of they came here!!
Awwww, I just LOVED this one. I always feel I'm sitting visiting with 2 special friends. I do wish you'd both come to Park Rapids for the day to chat. Love you both, so alike, so different, but love the uniqueness of each!

I could watch Dawn and Diana alllllll day!!!
Nosey neighbors are actually the best. They will watch out for you and if anything happens let you know. ❤️

I wish I was a twin or had twins. The bond is so amazing. I love you guys. 💛
We have twin great granddaughters. They are very different but both so awesome (of course).
My husband is a twin and there was 8 sets in his graduating class 2002. On in our small town. And there were 7 sets in the 2021 graduating class.
What a fun video!!!
Fun video! Love you both! God made us all individual… even twins!
You gals are the sweetest, and such a blessing to me!
That was fun. Love you too together !!

When you said “put your finger down” I burst out laughing in the somber dentist’s office 😂
I did a LAUGH OUT LOUD as well!!! 🤣😂
Awesome video you are so fun to listen to, I love your differences ❤️💜💚💛
Love this! My younger brothers are fraternal twins and could not be more opposite. But to see you 2 as genetically identical and have opposite characteristics is very very interesting! Thank you for sharing!!
That was Awesome..
You Both Are so Sweet...
💕💕..
Thanks for Sharing...
This is such a nice bonus video. Thank you so much 💜💜💜
One of my dearest friends was at Twinsburg with her twin sister! They dress alike at that event, and they always have a great time!
I live near Twinsburg OH... that's so fun!

100% AGREE

There is no space for the Lord in your life when you are too busy taking care of all the distracting Stuff!!! She does God's work as well, and truly she does it Very Effectively!!!!!
Amen! This is exactly right!! 🙌💛
My favorite, "I love your good looks."
In California, you have to give three written notices before you can fire someone!
You gals are precious. What a fun video!
What a fun video! I have cousins who are twins who live out of the area and I remember as kids how different they were. Have a great weekend!
We're local to the Twins Fest and just took our 11 year old twin daughters to the festival this year! Praying that they grown to be super close... they are currently, but also bicker nonstop which I'm guessing is normal at their age haha

Babies do travel well! Our son & daughter in love took their 8 month old twins & a 3 year old to an international family reunion!!!
When my daughter was a teenager she wanted to go somewhere that I didn't think she needed to be and wasn't old enough to go to. Of course, she told me everyone else was getting to go.

Would love to hear the nitty-gritty of your different world views!!
Love this video! Do more QA like these. You both have a gift in communication for sure! I always feel like I’m in the same room as you both are talking.
I just love you two more and more 💝💝
You guys make me smile! ❤
As usual amazing video ☺️ cannot wait for you both to come to London one day 😉
My son lives in Twinsburg and would love to see you there.
Diana you look so much younger than your sister, spf is a real thing.
Love you both, and you make me laugh as so relatable, both of you…. Hugs and thanks for sharing
U two r so much fun too watch!
You two are so great together!😄
I just love watching you two! You are so different in life styles, but the same in values, love of family, and appreciating and supporting each other.
Now you bought the smaller camper, Diana can try it!
My daughter, a teacher, had identical twin girls one year. They had their own beds but slept together in one of them. Needed to share everything. Once in awhile they would have a disagreement, and it would end up in a fist fight out on the playground. Otherwise they were inseparable.
Diane congrats on your baby can we see your baby love this video
What is her name
I have twin granddaughters, Eadi and Piper , they have a special bond, it’s so sweet!❤️
There isn't anything more interesting than twins. Worked with several sets, related to some, roomed in college with a set. So interesting.
Don't feel bad Diana about not wanting to camp. Once you have kids her age, it will be a WHOLE lot more feasible!
I love your good looks...Best answer ever!
Books all day! ...and pool doesn't hurt.
I LOVE having a twin brother. We are so different in so many ways, but it's never been a problem. Not so sure if I had a twin sister, I would feel the same. LOL You two have it all. LKMH
I hope you do come to England one day. That would be so cool 😊
