peek-a-boo video


This little girl.  I can't tell you how much fun it is to spend my days with her.  Last night while I was making dinner she entertained herself quite happily and spent most of that time playing peek-a-boo with a pair of pajamas.  She loves putting clothes "on".  If I'm sorting laundry she'll come right over, help me empty all the baskets... five times... and then when I finally give up, she will put every article of clothing "on" by draping it over her head or around her neck.  I think she'll be one of those little girls I find playing dress up in my closet all too frequently.  And that is just fine with me :)

boho curls: saved by the curling iron

I've seen the 'boho curl' tutorial floating around for probably a year now and I finally went ahead and gave it a try.  Here's what I learned.  You need hair a little longer than mine for it to be really successful.  My little hairs in the back just didn't stay in.  I'm guessing it also works better if you sleep with your hair up or wear it most of the day.  My hair was pretty dry, and I got a few curls initially, but mostly it gave me a crimpy/funky start to putting some curls in with my curling wand.  I think I'll give it another try.  I mean the end result was GREAT! But I was hoping to use a little less heat on my hair.  Tell me what you think!

madeline loves the dishwasher


I forgot to tell you about one other funny thing Madeline does my last post.  Madeline clicks her tongue.  It's so funny!  If I click my tongue she'll do it back to me.  She's a cutie.
