A fabulous Award... from an All-fabulous girl!!!

I know I haven't posted a new do for about a week now, but my daughter and her dad have been on vacation and I stayed home with baby Spice. I think I will have a new do up by tomorrow!

So an adorable young lady, Kaibee from Diary of an All-Pakistani girl gave me this award yesterday. After reading through her blog I found she is very family oriented and quite entertaining:) She loves to read and write so head over, check her out and leave her some comment love! I wanted to extend a HUGE THANK YOU TO HER!

So I guess there are some rules I am supposed to abide by, before I can claim the award and pass it on. I have to list 5 things I am addicted to and pass it on to whoever I think deserves it:)

1. Blogging! Not just my own blog...but blogs in general!!!! I love reading other blogs and seeing all the amazing things other people can do that I can't, or would like to try:)


2. Doing my daughters hair. Is it obvious?


3. Buying hair things! Yikes!!!! You should see the room that I store them in. I really need to get a better system.


4. Coffee. I know, I know. I probably shouldn't drink the stuff, but I do!


5. Last but certainly not least doing things with my family! Preferably Crafts!

Tutu's Bliss- If you haven't seen her blog, go check it out. I love her beautiful, colorful pictures and her outlook on life. For some reason I have just fallen in love with her blog, her writing and the pictures she takes! Your blog truly is Fabulous:)

Chic Clips- This is a fellow hair blogger friend! I have enjoyed leaving her comments and reading hers as well. I think she might be the only other hair blogger that uses as much hairspray as me:) LOL!!! She also has an etsy store with the most adorable bows! She is very talented and I wanted to tell her that!

Small town Louisiana Girl's Homeschool Corner- This is a fun place to get ideas to do with your kids even if you are not planning on homeschooling them. It is informational, and fun. Make sure you check out the "icecream in a bag". We have done several of the activities from your blog at my house and they have all been fabulous!

I also wanted to say if you have a fabulous blog, leave me a comment and I will be sure to check it out! I am always looking for new fabulous blogs!

My Spunky Baby...Spice!

Okay so this post is a long time coming! I have had several comments and a handful of e-mails questioning the name of my blog. If you have read my profile you know that I have named my blog after my 2 daughters. The oldest is Aryanna, and she is the one you see most often. I have posted a few of her best friend Lizzie and one of my niece Kaia. Aryanna is Sugar. She is SO sweet it might make you sick (not really she is a joy!) She loves all things sweet and beautiful. She is also very sensitive and if someone else is sad so is she. She loves glass things, beautiful dresses, peacocks, chandeliers, stained glass, and antiques! Yes I said antiques. She is 6 people! She did not get any of that from me! I am very modern in my taste!

My youngest turns two next Monday! Her name is Kita. Kita is Spice. You know how they say sugar and spice is what little girls are made of? Well Kita is ALL spice. She is spunky, rambunctious, and full of excitement at all times! She is a busy body and always on the go. Polar opposite of Aryanna. I was blessed to have both.

Since I have received so many comments wondering where "Spice" is...I am going to dedicate this post to my beautiful baby girl and tell you a few things about her. First and foremost, she LOVES her Binky. Aryanna never took one, not once, so I assumed my second child wouldn't either. I was wrong.

She is crazy! She is not afraid of anything and I cannot take my eyes off of her for two seconds!

She does not like to sit still.....and she does not like to have her hair done! If she sees me with the comb or hairspray she immediately runs away screaming "NO, Pony, NO pony, NO pony".

This headband was placed ever so strategically by her. If I do happen to get a ponytail or 2 in her hair and put flowers in, she will rip them out. Yes...she has ripped hair out! Yikes. One time I told my husband she was like a wild horse and just needed to be tamed and over time she would leave the hair things in. OH BOY WAS I WRONG!!! I thought I would break her, but she pulled the same flower out of her hair 6 times in a row before I was the one who finally gave up.

She LOVES Minnie Mouse. When I first bought this nightgown for her, she would not wear anything else for 3 days!

She loves her sister! Sometimes I wonder if she loves her sister more than me:) I keep hoping that one day she will want her hair done like her big sister. But for now it is still just a hope:)

She hates having her picture taken. Either she does this! Or makes some sort of crazy face at me or holds up her fists like it's fight time. Notice her nails are painted in this pic? That is the 1 thing I can get her to sit still for.

Do you know the plastic helmets kids wear to re-shape their heads? Kita had one of those for 10 months! It was probably some of the best money I have ever spent (It worked wonders). But I also think it played a very big part in not wanting anything on her head. After we took it off, it was a task even getting her to wear a hat when it was snowing! I will post pics of her in the helmet with a story behind it all soon!


So for those of you who were wondering why you don't see her on here, I hope this gives some insight. I love you Kita! You are so full of life and I am okay with you not liking your hair done:)

Pulled through and twisted out!

Yikes!!!!!! Where have the days gone? I feel like I have been working and practicing the violin with my daughter and nothing else! That means it's time to make time. Does that make any sense?

This is actually yesterday's hair-do. We had stopped at a little convenient store after violin lessons to let my daughter pick out a treat for practicing so hard this week. Not to mention she had such a great attitude about it and wanted to only work on the things she actually needed work on. Most of the time it seems like they want to take the easy way out...but she really wants to learn. She has done gymnastics and ballet and this is the first thing she has actually really loved:) She talks about it all the time and we practice 6 days a week. Well it was so cute, because we were standing next to 2 teenage girls and one of them said "that has to be one of the coolest hair-dos I've ever seen in my life". My daughter thought it was the coolest thing that TEENAGE girls liked her hair:)

We started with regular ol' piggy tails.

Next we did a pull through knot on each side.

Take the hair from the ponytail and split it into 2 pieces.

Using those 2 sections twist both sections out. (The left one left and the right one right.)

Twist until tight and hook with an elastic. We repeated this 2 more times. You may need more or less depending on how long your daughter's hair is.

We curled under the ends and added some hair things.

An adorable front view! I think I just might die without her:)

For fun we threw in a picture of how her nails looked today!
