Girly Hairdos

Kate, with four-strand criss-crossed braids into pigtails


I have a couple of neighbors who noticed a list that I'd put on my blog earlier of girl hairdo blogs that I look at. Well, something happened when I was playing with the layout of my blog and I lost all of those links on the left. My friends asked about them again, so I thought I'd post again all of the hair blogs that I've looked at. Truly, there are some amazingly talented women out there when it comes to doing their daughters' hair! Here are some of my favorite hair do ideas:

Four-strand Braid (I've really been into this one recently, and it's really fun, too!)

Cool Braid

Fancy Messy Buns

Woven Pig-tail Buns

Tween Twists

As you can see, I really like braids and messy buns. Although, I have yet to find a way to keep a messy bun from falling out of Kate's hair. When her hair was shorter it would stay in just fine, and now that her hair is longer the elastics slide down the bun away from her head and then the buns just flop all over the place! The only bun that I've been able to get to stay in her hair is one that I did for Halloween, and both Eliza and Kate (okay, me too) LOVE this bun!

Anyway, here's a list of the hair blogs that I have bookmarked and look at frequently (in no particular order; and, these aren't all the ones out there by far!), just in case you want to check them out:

She sure has thick hair! I don't know that I'll ever be able to do that with my girls' hair -- they don't have enough and it doesn't grow nice and thick...But when they do have hair like that, I'm sure going to try some of the neat hairdos that I've seen on those blogs! :)

The girly hairdos are awesome. Charlotte will barely even let me brush hers. However, Emma would LOVE it if I tried something like that in her hair. I wonder how hard it would be to do on curlier hair...

Thanks for the websites, I'll have to check those out.

You are so sweet. Thank you. And great job on that heair do! I chopped Nikyla's hair. I haven't posted it yet, but we went short. Not boy short, but so short we can't pull it into a pony tail. And thank you for the reinvite. I think I mostly just lost the link when I reset my computer.

Thanks for the websites...I found one once and forgot to bookmark it and have been to lazy to google. I don't know how you do it Marisa...cooking, braiding hair, and just doing the Mom thing with a newborn. You deserve a spa day soon I think! :-)

Pink Day

By
Today I was sifting through all the clothing and pulling out clothes that were stained and torn, as well as clothing the children had outgrown. There was a huge pile of clothing to sort through, and an ever growing pile of clothes to donate.  At one point, I pulled out a pink t-shirt and asked, "Whose is this?" Someone said it was Maryanne's, which couldn't have been true because it was a size 8. It wasn't her color anyway ... So I tossed it in the donate pile. (In hind sight, I now think my mom gave it to Maryanne for Christmas, and she said that she wasn't sure what size to get for Maryanne. Whoops on my part.) That's when Adam exclaimed that he wanted a pink shirt. Other children chimed in with, "It is his color." (Referring to his Dressing Your Truth type.) Adam bolted toward the donate pile and seized the shirt, promptly pulling it over his head and the collared shirt he had on. (Later he removed the collared shirt, after much cajoling from ...

85+ Books!

By
It's been almost a year since I started keeping track of all the books I've read.  When it's all in a list ... by date ... it really makes me realize how much I read!  I burned through almost a book a day in the month of January: 24 books total ... the greatest number of books in one month!  After compiling the list, I figured I may as well share it with all my friends!  I've organized them by genre/topic ... and now I realize I need to branch out more!  Books I read multiple times this year have asterisks. REGENCY/HISTORICAL ROMANCE The Apothecary's Daughter, Julie Klassen Edenbrooke*, Julianne Donaldson The Girl in the Gatehouse, Julie Klassen The Heiress of Winterwood, Sarah Ladd The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, Juie Klassen Lady of Milkweed Manor, Julie Klassen Short Straw Bride, Karen Witemeyer The Silent Governess, Julie Klassen The Tutor's Daughter, Julie Klassen CLEAN ROMANCE Bah, Humbug!, Heather Horrocks The Cubicle Next Door*, Siri L....

My Two Teenagers

By
As personalities come, these two girls are like night and day. Both are silly at times, and both can be serious at times. And yet, that rarely happens at the same time! We have entered the world of teenagers, and it is quite the dramatic world! My oldest daughter is dealing with all the drama that teenagers bring: ostracism, judging, and feeling friendless. My younger teenager is just full of fun dramatics: silly faces and expressions, acting wonky and crazy, and saying that "everyone is my friend, even their mom and dad!" At any rate, I couldn't be more in love with these two. They fight over their littlest sister ("I get to hold her!"  "You've been hogging her all day!"), fight over who spends more time in the shower ("I do NOT spend an hour in the shower!"), and fight over who gets my MacBook ("She always gets to do her school on your computer!"  "But, all my stuff is on there!").  My world would be quite dramatical...
