10. Every spare "bucket" you own is currently awaiting a good disinfection.

6. Your fridge is stuffed with Gatorade, 7-up, and popsicles.

5. There is an odd, greenish hue to your children's complexions.

    Aww, what an awful way to spend the holiday. Hope everyone is feeling better soon, and that you don't get it too.

    We currently have the bug visiting our house too! I keep wondering when it's my turn...and then I wonder who will take care of all the sick kiddos if I catch it because Hubs is already back at work.

    Oh, you poor thing! I'm sorry you have sickies. You gave me a chuckle, though, with the "Don't fart unless you're on the toilet!" comment. I've said that to my son before when he had a bad intestinal thing happening.

    Hope everyone's better soon!

Coming soon...

Come here looking for the tutorial? It can be found here:  Halo Braid Tutorial!  Let me know how it goes! I had something in mind to try on Baby Girl's hair the other day...my best bud, Dr. J, did something similar to it on Belle once, and I was trying to replicate it. Instead, I got this: Isn't it pretty?! It didn't take nearly as long as it looks and isn't nearly as intricate as it looks! Vlog tutorial coming soon...(for those of you waiting, I'm sorry it's taking me so long!)

Halo Braid Tutorial!

How appropriate, "halo braid", no?! ;) Finally, I have this ready for you...I apologize for the delay! This braid looks intricate, but is really quite easy and quick to pull off...the original video (prior to the warp speed braiding...watch the video to see what I mean) was just a bit over 8 minutes long...not too shabby! So, here you go...right in time for you to try it out on your little girl for Easter!
