valentines...

I can't believe how quickly time goes by...but this is what we are up to...

valentine making. water color hearts and friendship bracelets {nothing fancy, just a simple braid}

cookie decorating with cousins. and cookie eating with cousins.

i took a photography workshop. it was super fun and super worth it.

got some new leggings from groopdealz. fleece-lined. i love them. i use them for pajamas:) i'm not super confident in leggings in public currently.

valentines breakfast. pancakes and strawberries cut like little hearts. the how-to is here.

fun hair for valentines days. only miss milly's hair is long enough. super easy and very cute {in my opinion}. tutorial here.

my latest read while I wait to pick up a preschooler: parenting--a house united by nicholeen peck.
super awesome so far. very good ideas for family economy structure and discipline.

dinner tonight is a twist on chicken pot pie and chicken and dumplings. but of course, the carrots are shaped as hearts being valentine's and all;) {i had to}

that's us in a nutshell...what are you up to?

no heat curls - shauna reed style

ok... so saw this technique and thought i would give it a try. ya know, try something new! and it was so easy to do, and went right along with my schedule! i used a black, stretchy headband (like one you use to hold back bangs for exercising or sports). you can get a pack of them at walmart for cheap! but any stretchy-type headband will work! just use her method from the video below...

and wha-lah! beautiful, soft waavess!!

what do ya think? try it out and let me know how it works for you!! here is the link and her video to teach you how... no heat curls - shauna reed style
