Three Girls, Three Heads

Okay...... so I once said that God truly does have a sense of humor because He gave me three daughters....three heads to do. For the most part, I braid the girls hair because it really helps during the week not having to do their hair every morning. But let me tell you, doing their hair is a pro-duc-tion! It all starts with washing their hair. Afterward, I like to blow dry their hair because it makes it easier to comb through  for braiding and parting. This is how they look when their hair is blown out:

I can almost never do both of their heads in the same day. So I did SnuggleBunny's hair on Sunday night and then I did LoveBug's hair on Monday after school. It takes me about 2-3 hours to braid each of their heads, (we usually watch a movie) depending upon the intricacy of the hair style. Though the work is intensive (they both have sensitive heads), the rewards are well worth it. It means that I don't have to touch their heads for 2-3 weeks and that makes a very happy mommy! Here are the finished results:

I love my girls, so spending those long arduous hours doing their hair is indeed a labor of love. On another note, BabyLove doesn't require much at this point, which I love! Here she is at the mercy of her big sisters:

A Lil' Sumthin For Me

I just wanted to send a quick blurb about my gift that I purchased for myself. Anyone who has children or who is married, or both knows, that one can often go quite a bit of time w/o pampering ones self. More often than not I have learned how to gain pleasure from purchasing things for the house, i.e cleaning products, air freshners, and the like. I also take great pleasure in shopping for my girls, (there's just so much cute stuff out there)! There are a lot of things that I would desire to have, but I often put them on back burner, because I feel guilty, like I should spend money on something else. But today, I did it. I guiltlessly purchased some long time coveted hair products from Carol's Daughter!

It may not seem like a huge deal to others, but to me, it's a way for me to tell myself, "hey you're doing a good job, keep up the good work." I n all my taking care of things, I can't forget to take care of me. I also received a gift set of my favorite scent from Bath and Body Works, Warm Vanilla Sugar


See when we treat ourselves like we want to be treated, others follow suit. Well, I didn't know that I would blog again so soon, but now I have, so there. Till next time, Happy Lockin'
