Feeling Blessed...



Perma-smile. On my face. Today was magnificent.


Marvelous.


From the weather to the company to the festivities...poifect.


Was greeted by my hubs with coffee and a card that had a certificate for a massage!!! A MASSAGE! Guys, he DOES listen! He redeemed himself from the chocolate covered strawberries and Pepsi/beef jerky gifts of late.


I have sun-kissed shoulders, grimy, tired kids, and a full heart.


Today was so beautiful, that the "cousins" decided to take a dip in the river...which might not seem at all strange to anyone who lives anywhere but Minnesota, but dudes. The river? The mighty Mississippi? Normally at this time of the year, a dip in the river would be considered crazy.


Insane.


Because normally the river is breathtakingly chilly. Literally BREATHTAKING. But today? Still a bit cold, but tolerable! The kids jumped in several times before deciding that they were too cold to do it anymore!


And now...I rest. After the full, fabulous weekend that we had...I'm pooped! 


G'night my friends!

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!
