Maybe I DO have it in me...


To be somewhat, sort of, slightly organized?

Ya think?

The day before our trip, I spent half my life laminating stuff. You see, I found this awesome site...wait, that's a lie...a reader pointed me to this awesome site called momsminivan.com and I am in love.

She has all sorts of games and stuff ("and stuff"...literary excellence at it's finest) for traveling with children! I printed off some of her things...


Then proceeded to tape them to card stock ('cuz I'm blond and didn't think to actually print it on card stock until after everything was printed and I didn't want to do it all over again. Call me lazy. Or blond. Either works...) and laminate them.


Have you ever laminated? It is awesome. Satisfying. Amazingly therapeutic.

I think I am going to start laminating everything I can get my hands on. (Watch out, honey!)

Stay tuned for a "traveling long distances with small children" post! I'll fill you in on what I learned!

    I love to laminate stuff...but I was an Elementary Ed major! I finally convinced them to buy one for the office...we never use it for work stuff...but I've used it tons!!!! It's quite addicting!!! Just don't laminate your children...although, maybe that would keep them cleaner! HAHA!

    Glad to hear momsminivan worked for you. My sister just bought her own personal laminator. I think she is indeed addicted to it. They're fun and oh the smell of the heat on the plastic laminate...okay, so maybe I'm a little weird. Probably should've deleted that last part! -EW

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!
