French Braids and Curls ~ First Day of School

I don't think I've shared before what I do when I'm not being Mom or hairdresser... I work at a middle school as the Athletic Secretary and the Secretary to the Assistant Principal. If you have student who plays sports in school, you know how crazy things can get! The last two weeks have been non-stop! 

All this to say.... I'm a little behind. Ha! These are from earlier this week, but this is from her first day of school for this new year~ 

Braided Piggies for Hats and Bobbi-Toads

Hats are awesome and can be so so cute! But they aren't allowed in school. This style transitions perfectly. It works for cold weather hats and fun sun-blocking caps...

All Down w/ Micro Curls

We had trouble naming this style, but we have done it a few times. Little Miss likes that there are just the few curls on top of the rest of the hair. It looks pretty and is just something fun and simple for days when she wants her hair down.

Blake Lively Braids and Curls

Speaking strictly about hair here... Blake's is amazing! I think this style works for many ages and I love that it is soft and can be casual or dressy!

Let's Go 5th Graders, Let's Go!

Miss Sass and several other students got the opportunity to cheer on the 5th graders in a recent pep assembly. The 5th graders are preparing to tackle State Assessments and these kids are helping them stay encouraged! 

Happy Easter!

We went simple again today, just barrel curls and a headband. Little Miss was having a little bit of asthma trouble with all of the blooming and pollen, but still had a blast finding eggs and Grandma and Grandpa's house! I will try to track down some more photos to share later. :)

Short Hair Do's

So Little Miss was doing homework one day, laying on the floor and cutting out little letters. Yes, this was totally my fault!!! He hair went to her elbows, it was down and just laying there next to her as she cut... You see where this is going right? Well, anyway, now it is SHORT! Here are a couple pics of the new 'do. ;)

Okay, so this is just a quick do for gym or dance days! We were running really short on time and Little Miss has bangs that won't just stay in a ponytail. So, we did this simple little do! Yes, I realize it was a little crooked... I fixed that before we left for school, but didn't get pics. Of course! ;)

These next two photos were taken after school yesterday. Little Miss and her classmates were videotaped earlier that day. She was sooo excited to be on camera! Lol, haven't seen the footage yet, but I'm sure she was adorable! ;) I curled her hair with the flat iron and put in a new headband. Nothing major, but I was happy to see that she still had some curl left... even if the wind and her playing did play havock with the style!

I hope everyone is having a happy fall! I'd love to see some of your recent do's and even feature a guest on my blog! I have been very busy and am still adjusting to life with all three kids in school, running my own business, a husband working and in a Masters program, volunteering at my kids school because I am that mom... well, you get the idea! Lots of love to my friends and followers out there!

Happy Halloween!

What were your little ones for Halloween? I had Harry Potter, a ninja, and a little devil. I thought it was rather fitting. ;) Actually, Little Miss originally wanted to be a Rainbow Angel... yeah, I couldn't find the right costume and ran out of time to make one. As we walked down the Halloween isle, she saw the horns and said, "That's what I'm gonna be!" Lol, she is sassy!

Summer Wedding

I made this headpiece and accent band set while trying out a new style of hair accessories for my shop and Little Miss fell in love! ;) She asked if she could wear them and of course I said yes!

So, this style is actualy very pretty and wonderful for weddings or really any event. You can dress it up or down. It is also pretty easy to achieve... that's my favorite part! ;) 

Bangs Anyone?!?!

Most of you know me pretty well by now... you know that I get bored and change things up frequently. However, I had really been trying to not trim or cut Little Miss's hair. She wanted it long and pretty like Mommy's. ;) Yeah well, she and Drama Boy (the one who cut her hair last time!) were in the bathroom together... You can see where this is going, right?

Right, we have bangs now and some layers. Aside from the rediculously short sideburns she gave herself, it is actually pretty cute. We're going to let the bangs grow out which is why they are so big. Lol... kids *sigh* 

Well, here are some pics (in the order they were taken) from our trip to see Santa. My girl was really trying to earn her nickname. May I present, Little Miss Sass:

Product Review - Tate's Pure & Natural and A Pretty Curled Style

We've had another busy week... honestly, I don't know any moms who aren't busy this time of year. And if you are a homeschooling family, like us, then you truly understand the word busy!

We had a couple days this week that I was concerned for Little Miss. She had to start breathing treatments due to some rattling in her chest. I'm fairly certain that it was caused by allergies not illness, thank goodness! Anyway, she is okay as far as that goes, but today she is sick to her tummy. Poor girl!

Well, now I have about 8 posts waiting to be written, but there is one that I gave a short mention to a while back. So, here you go!

A Curly Do - Detangling and Braiding

Okay, so I had the pleasure of hanging with my sweet niece again... and of course we did some hair! ;)

---Do you see my Little Miss in the background? She managed to get herself into several pics, *sigh*---

Simple & Pretty Flower w/ Curls

This is another style that I previewed last week. I loved how pretty it was! ;)

Curlformers Product Review

Some of you might remember that I had won a giveaway for Curlformers, woohoo!!! ;) Well, I've tried them once on myself and once on Little Miss. They were a lot of fun and the curls are just amazing! 

Curls, curls, curls...

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend! We had a great time with family and friends. We hung at our home, ate my hubby's BBQ chicken, Aunt Amy's Potato Salad, Papa Dave's Salsa, Papa Randy's Baked Beans, my sister's green bean casserole, and my nacho cheese Doritos. heh (I can only cook certain things.) Anyway, we were pretty busy and still will be for a couple days! However, I wanted to give a little sneak peek at what I have in store for this upcoming week...

My niece and her gorgeous natural curl. Some de-tangling tips, a cute style, and some adorable sass! ;)

Something I know some of you have been waiting for... CURLFORMERS! Lol, I have had them for a little over a week and both Little Miss and I have used them. So far, I LOVE them! Definitely a review and some tips coming your way.

Oh, and of course the results of these miracle curlers on Little Miss Sass. She's a doll. ;)

A sideways picture, for some odd reason it uploaded this way. heh. I have a cute 'do that could be worked for everyday, dressed up for church, or glammed up for pageant/dance/skating performances. So excited to share this natural fluffy fun with all of you!

And speaking of natural... I've got a review coming of a new product in Miss Sass's cabinet. A brand that will be taking up permanent residence in our bathroom! ;) I'm super excited about this one too. It is perfect for little girls with skin problems, breathing complications, or other health issues that can be adversely affected by the chemicals in your average hair care products!

Who's That Girl?!?!

Do you all remember when I had that last giveaway? Yeah, and I asked you guys to share pictures as an extra entry? So, I am finally going to put up some of those pics... and there are some great ones in here! ;)

I just had to post about this! I won the Curlformers Giveaway over at Beads, Braids, & Beyond! She has a super awesome blog with great tips about hair care and, of course, wonderful hairdo's! I can't tell you all how excited I am about this! Or maybe it's obvious... Geez, I'm am just so thrilled! ;)

I'd also like to take a moment to say thanks to everyone for your kind words and thoughts for Miss Sass. She is feeling much better and breathing deeply, yay! ;)

Cut 'n Style

Mr. Cool and Miss Sass got new haircuts. Finally! ;) Mr. Cool was up first.... and his new look is just like he is, cool! Tara gave him a short 'do with lots of depth. She thinned it out a ton so that he can work with it a little more. He is able to spike it all on his own. And it's just too cute! ;) As is his style, Mr. Cool would only let me take a few pics and this is the only one that really came out... gotta love him!

(And can I say, he was so very tired that day. And looking at his poor little eyes, I feel bad for not forcing a nap or something! heh)

Next was Miss Sass. She is so little that even with a huge pillow on the chair, Tara couldn't get to her hair very well. So instead she stood on the floor and Tara just bent down to snip. After a couple minutes, Alex leaned back against her; it was so adorable! 

And here we are in true girl fashion, chatting away with her stylist. ;)

Tara evened up the back and added a few simple layers. She also did some sculpting around Sassy's face. After the cut, she gave her some soft curls and a quick little bobby pin at the top. It was so so cute.

I am in love with the kids new looks and they are both very happy! We love you Tara! ;)

I want to add a little extra note here. Tara has her own place, Tara Nichole Salon! It is lovely and clean and she is so professional! She was great with the kids! Her prices are very competitive and she really knows her stuff. Tara has so much to offer. And in my opinion the best part was her kind, genuine, caring nature! We give Tara Nichole Salon 5 Stars!!! If you want to check her out, take a look at her facebook page. ;)
