Little Braids n Stuff!

Needless to say Meg was not in the mood to have her hair done today. She loves it, "down, just down." I insist on a lovely hairdo if she is going out and today she had piano lessons. I parted her hair down the middle (harder than it looks) and braided both sides. With a small curling iron I curled the ends, then brought them up and attached with an elastic the bottom of the braid to the top. Pretty simple, which works for me! I pulled the curled hair around the elastic so it would curl over just right. Added some bows and curled her bangs. She wasn't thrilled, I thought it turned out great and so did her piano teacher! :) The first thing she asked when she got in the car was when she could take it out. Reminds me of this. Everyday. Happy New Year!

Things I love

I love Spring! I realize it is almost over for most of you, but it just started here!

I love it when my kids take my camera.

And. I love new dress shipments! I think I love them as much as Goose does. She is always so excited to get the huge boxes open. She loves every style we carry. Last year she even "bought" a dress for her Raggedy Ann. You can imagine how excited she was to see the new Navy polka Dots and Stripes Sundress. She of course wanted one for Miss Ann but I said "Not this time Goose" We need to send one to Aimie.

Oh my gosh!! These dresses and bows are fantastic!! All of my girls would look stunning in them, but if my oldest got one, then she could share it with her younger sisters :)

Aimie - mom to 5 girls under 7 :)

Congratulations!!

Now, I don't envy you the decision on who gets the dress. 5 girls! (I have 5 sisters-I think I would have got the dress being the oldest).




And believe it or not Goose is totally excited for you! (I just have to keep reminding her)

The Goose Do

Oh the dilemma. What to do with hair. I have no talent for hair do-ing. This is why I do hair bows. To cover up my skills or lack thereof. The goose likes braids. I can't braid, french braid anyway. I am told I braid backwards, and all the people I love, who could teach me to french braid-braid forwards (or the real way) So they claim it would just be impossible. Poor Goose!

So here is what we do. I start with wet hair.

And go up the sides with those fantastic stretchy ponies that don't pull their hair out.

A few on one side, a couple up the other...

One piggie to hold them together

Then I blew her hair dry and sectioned it so I could use the triple barrel on it

a couple minutes later, because it is so nice and thin :(

Voila . Curling it this way makes it look like she has so much more hair than she really has--not to mention we are growing out the A-line. I loved it on her but she would like long hair now.

Add a hair bow and we were set! This is an example of the streamer hair bows from the shoppe. She loves this hair bow. It makes her feel like a princess. The Streamers are so fun and you can use them whether your princess has long or short hair. Just trim up the ends to the desired length, don't forget to seal up your ends. And you're set!
