A glimpse into the future

I saw a lady today who had the exact same hair as Julia, only her's was 15 inches longer. It was even the same color! It was surreal. What struck me was that even at that length it was as curly as Julia's is now. I've always wondered if length would pull the curls out. I really wanted to go up to her and ask her how she cares for it, but I was too chicken.

This is how we care for Julia's hair right now.


Lots and lots of conditioner mixed with a dose of humor.

I pulled it all straight to show how long it is but by the time I backed up to take the picture most of it had curled back up.


Curls or no curls, she's our little JoJo that we love to pieces. She'll be celebrating her her half birthday on Thursday. Where has the time gone?

    I guess brushing the hair is one of your favorite times of the day :) I have REALLY curly hair and remember screaming, I mean running, from the brush! Glad you can use humor!

    Her hair is awesome.

    Have you ever heard of the "Curly Girl" philosophy of haircare? My mom has super-curly hair, and is really into it. (She's got this Curl Pride thing goin' on...) The whole regimen would be ridiculous for a small child, but maybe when your daughter gets older (like high school) some of the tips would be useful. The author/stylist doesn't believe in shampooing your hair...among other things. I actually found a link for you. I think you'll laugh at how involved it is. These curl people are serious!

    Just had to pass that on...I wasn't lucky enough to get my mom's awesome curls. I will settle for mediocrity all my life.

    That first picture is hilarious!

    My son's hair has always been curly. It was cute when he was little, but now that he's 14 yrs. it just doesn't suit him! Of course, he hates getting it cut but as you say...it is very hard to control!

    I love SB's curls!

    Wow, that is long. It's funny to see it something other than all curls.

    Love the 1st picture!

    I adore SB's curls. I hope someday she embraces them instead of hating them. She's so beautiful!

    She is precious. My girl inherited her stick straight hair from her mommy...same color too...I see her future...she'll be gorgeous and her hair will be gorgeous...but she will hate it.

    I have super, mega curly hair and the length of your hair will weigh your curls down. My hair takes forever to grow! But I do have to condition it each time I wash it AND do a deep conditioner that needs to be left on at least an hour once a week.

"How can I help?"

So many have asked how they can help MckMama and her family during this difficult time and so I've set up a Care Calendar to help coordinate meals for the family. MckMama is coordinating childcare on her end, but you can contact me for the rest. Please leave me a comment in this message and I will contact you with more information on the Care Calendar as soon as I am able. Please be sure I can get in touch with you through your blog and/or an email address. Thank you for covering my dear friend and her family with prayers!

Shabby Apple Giveaway!

Spring is in the air and that means it's time to start thinking about changing over our closets from Winter to Spring. I don't know about you, but that also means it's time to look for a few new pieces to bring new life to what I wear year after year. Today I can make that job a little more fun for you because Shabby Apple is sponsoring a giveaway on my blog! Yeah!!!! I had so much fun looking through their collection of women's dresses and don't even get me started on their adorable line of little girl's dresses ! It's a whole new ballgame for me now that I'm going to have TWO girls to dress. In the end I decided to pick this beauty called Azure Coast to giveaway to one lucky reader because us mom's are always buying things for our kids before ourselves. I just might have to pick up one for myself in time to wear for BabyBear's baptism this summer. It's perfect for nursing moms! Want to win one for yourself? See below , but if you d...

My Birthday Wish

Today is my 33rd birthday. So far I've celebrated by cleaning the kitchen, vacuuming, and washing clothes. My birthday happened to fall on a Monday - the day we set a few hours aside for me to do some of the cleaning that I just don't have time for during the work week. I love it. I get that immediate sense of accomplishment. I see results. I finished a task. Oh how that makes my heart happy!!!!! In my line of work it can be months before I can check a project off my list. All the while it nags at me and weighing me down like a ton of bricks that projects are waiting for me. Don't get me wrong, I love love love my job, but I also love that instant gratification that comes with checking something off my list. So when Mondays roll around I am happy to pick up my dust cloth or a basket of laundry....even on my birthday. I don't have any great birthday reflections for today....maybe another day. Instead I want to share my birthday wish with you dear readers. What I wan...
