Hello all, I'm Emma! Reese and I have been talking lately, and I'm going to start some guest posting here on the blog! Hopefully between the two of us, we can put up twice as many posts!
I made this post to tell you about something big coming up on our AGNonstop YouTube. It'll feature my twin sister Becca and I, and it's called TwinVlogz! That's all for now folks!
XOXO,
Emma Grace

The Best Blogger Award!
Hi everyone, it's Reese! Welcome to my second post of the day! I hope to be blogging a lot more with guest posts from my sisters.
My friend Sabine over at Bienvenue Chez Les Ch'tis nominated me for the Best Blogger Award! Thank you so much Sabine! Please go check out Sabine's blog- it is amazing!
My friend Sabine over at Bienvenue Chez Les Ch'tis nominated me for the Best Blogger Award! Thank you so much Sabine! Please go check out Sabine's blog- it is amazing!
For the first part of the award, I will answer these five questions:
1. What is your favorite post that you've ever created?
Well, I've only had this blog for a year and I'm already at 51 posts. Wow! My favorite post/ blog series would have to be Fighting for Emma. Emma is my best friend, so naturally, it is very important to me to have these posts which led up to our wonderful friendship. I also love my post, Meet Becca Abigail! Becca is such a wonderful part of our family and it wouldn't be the same without her. I'm so glad that Emma and Becca are a part of my family! :)
2. What is your favorite photostory that you have ever taken part in?
In my house, we do more stop motions and photoshoots than photostories. With that said, my favorite stop motion is Welcome Summer! This one was so fun to film and it was great because it really showed all of our personalities well. My favorite photoshoot is Mayflower Beach! We actually filmed this on a beach in Dennis (Cape Cod). The sun was shining, and while this isn't our best photoshoot, it was so much fun to create!
3. Why do you blog?
When I began blogging, I thought of it as a way to connect with my YouTube account, AGNonstop. As time went on, I eventually began to document my life in more detail, I have so many great memories, from the adoption of Emma and Becca to simple little joys in life such as my hiking trips, vacations, etc. I also love communicating with my readers and talking to all of my wonderful friends in the blogging world!
4. How many followers do you have?
I currently have 31 followers, which is great; I never thought I'd have so many! :) I love and thank all of our followers, as well as our readers who don't follow our blog. Be sure to leave a comment- I'd love to chat!
5. Do you like being nominated for awards?
Of course, and another thank you to Sabine! I have found that awards (this is my second one) give me an extra boost of motivation, as do comments and followers. Thanks for dropping by, and if you like my blog, please let me know!
Now, the moment I have been waiting for is here! I get to now nominate five other blogs in turn who haven't been nominated yet. I nominate:
1. Tess and Maggie at Jane Austin and Unicorns
2. The girls at ~~ Bolton Girls Travel Journal!! ~~
3. Inky at Super Inky!
4. Steampunk Addie at The Adventures of Steampunk Addie
5. Holly Pino and Kay Jun at The Spicys!
Thank you Sabine! Be sure to head over to Sabine's blog after you read this post! It was an honor to be nominated for this award. Thank you dear readers! Until next time,
Love,
Reese <3
Happy Easter!
Hi everyone, it's Reese! Happy Easter Sunday to all of you who celebrate! If not, I hope you have a wonderful day! :) Can you believe Easter is in March this year? It feels so strange, seeing that Easter is usually in April. I encourage you to always remember that the true meaning of Easter is to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus.
I spent the entire day with my family, so unfortunately, I don't have any pictures. I will tell you all about my day though- it was wonderful! To begin the day, my cousins, Maggie, Anna, Katie, and Grace came to our house (they're visiting from Boston!) and we had breakfast together. Our parents cooked us a wonderful breakfast of pancakes, eggs, toast, hash browns, bacon, and fresh orange juice. Imagine 14 people together under one roof! Our home is fairly large, but that's a lot of people! XD Afterwards, we got our Easter baskets from the front step. They were filled with candy and small little toys. Thank you mom and dad! :) After we all got a little crazy on candy, we went on an Easter egg hunt in our backyard. There were 50 eggs hidden and Becca found the most- 21! Wow!
For the rest of the day, we relaxed and hung out together until we had dinner around 2:30 pm. It's been a while since my sisters and I have seen our cousins, so we had a lot to catch up on. Our dinner consisted of ham, vegetables, rolls, and some other food. For dessert, we all decorated sugar cookies and Emma and I made cake pops! The food tasted amazing after a long day of Easter-egg hunting and snacking on candy and treats. :)
What did you all do for Easter? We had a wonderful day!
Love,
Reese <3
P.S. Look for a guest post from Emma coming up within the next three days! :)

Important Info and Updates from the Human
Hi everyone, this is Emily, the human behind the AGNonstop girls. It's been a while since a blog post, and I have a lot of things that I want to clear up. I know that Reese and I have been bad bloggers lately, and I apologize for that. This post should answer many of the questions you may have.
The first and most prominent question is Where have you been for 2 months? Well, here's your answer. In the fall, I began at a new school in my town. There were many adjustments to make ad my increased work load left almost no time for filming and blogging. That's when the posts began coming less frequently. More recently, I have been busy with schoolwork such as midterms in January and daily tests and quizzes. After school, I am at musical and dance until around 7 pm. When I get home, I have to do homework for the next day, and by the time I finish, I just have zero energy left. Now that I'm on February break, I'll try to get up a few blog posts and videos. And there's only 4 months until summer! :)
I realized this morning that you, my dear readers, don't know much about me, the human. Well, first of all, my name is Emily. On YouTube, I formerly had a different code name, but my name in real life is Emily. I am a very school-focused person, but outside of school, I love theatre (musical, plays, etc.), singing, and dance. In my free time, I also enjoy creative writing, reading and filmmaking, as well as of course, my wonderful six (ten, if you count the four in storage) dolls!
Thank you to my loyal readers who have been anxiously awaiting a blog post. I'm not saying that I will have a new post or video up daily, or even weekly, but I'll try my best to keep you updated on the latest dolly news. For now, Emily off, as Reese and the girls are demanding my attention. Thanks everyone! <3
Love,
Emily (and Reese) <3

Welcome to My Home!
Hi everyone, it's Reese! If you've been reading my blog, you know that I make a lot of references to my house. I just wanted to make a quick post to let you know that we finally filmed a video showing you our home. Just in case you were wondering. ;)
Love,
Reese <3
P.S. My blog's 1 year anniversary is on Tuesday, January 8th! :D

Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas! *insert music here*
Hi everyone, it's Reese! MERRY CHRISTMAS! (Or Happy Holidays to those of you who don't celebrate Christmas) Yes, I know that I'm a day late, but I was busy with my family yesterday. Here is our family Christmas portrait for 2012:
And here is a fun little behind-the-scenes shot:
As you can most likely tell, the theme of this year's Christmas portrait was historical eras. We all chose one era to dress like, just for fun and to make a bright and merry Christmas card as well. We wanted to represent how Christmas has been through all of the ages. Nellie and Samantha represented our very own era of 2012. Isabella represented the mid-19th century. Emma, Becca, and I dressed as girls from the early 20th century.
On Christmas Day, we all awoke to the sound of what we believed to be sleigh bells on our roof. The sound was so wonderful that it couldn't have been anything else! Running downstairs, arm in arm, we saw a pile of presents under the Christmas tree! It was a truly magical Christmas morning to see the joy and excitement on the faces of my five beloved sisters. Nellie received a pair of winter boots and the newest Taylor Swift CD, Red. Samantha received a pair of new pink pointe shoes and an IOU for a summer intensive of ballet in New York for a month! Isabella received a new camera and tripod for filming... What will she be filming? I suppose you'll just have to wait and see! Emma received a brand new set of art supplies- a brown sketch pad, new pencils (her former ones were worn down to the bone!), and a set of new paints along with some new baking supplies. Becca received a pair of pink ballet shoes and an offer to travel with Samantha to a summer intensive ballet course in June! Becca gladly accepted the offer and Samantha was delighted to share the journey was someone. I received some new clothes as well as an Apples to Apples card game.
The rest of Christmas Day was filled with excitement and fun as presents were tried out and played with. Nellie blasted her new CD on her iPod all day as she and Isabella sang together loudly. Samantha was teaching Becca the perfect pirouette as Becca helped Samantha to perfect her left split. Emma and I were in the kitchen trying to perfect a new recipe of Emma's for pecan shortbread cookies (They actually turned out quite yummy!) and making hot chocolate for everyone. By the time that bedtime hit, we all trudged upstairs to have sweet dreams of happy Christmas days.
I had a wonderful Christmas and I hope you did as well! Did you receive a present on your Christmas list?
Love,
Reese <3

Meet Becca Abigail!
Hi everyone, it's Reese! I know that this has been a long-awaited post, so I apologize for the delay in posting this. We've all been pretty busy around here adapting to a new school and getting to know our new sister. Here's a photo of my gorgeous sister Becca:
Can you tell Becca apart from Emma? (Becca is on the left, Emma is on the right). The girls are pretty easy to tell apart for my family, mainly because Becca has hazel eyes and has curly hair, while Emma has aqua-colored eyes and straight her. Still, when their hair is in a bun and Becca is wearing her glasses, it can be a challenge to tell Becca and Emma apart! ;) One day, Becca and Emma decided to dress exactly alike in white shirts and blue jeans with their hair tied back. Most of us were able to tell them apart by their eyes, but it was a challenge!
Becca is outgoing and has a strong personality. She loves photography, reading, and competing in dance competitions for ballet. However, like Emma, Becca comes from a very abusive and tragic family life. She actually grew up in London, England, so she has a hint of an English accent. My mom told me that Becca was often mistreated and abused. I'm so glad that Becca is here with us now!
What do you think of Becca? Do you have any questions for her? I will be doing a combined post with Becca as soon as we find the time. Also look for the post coming soon about my new school! :)
Love,
Reese <3
