Halloween {My Favorite}



Halloween is my favorite holiday. The kids totally know it too, I start hearing about what costumes they want to be for Halloween at the start of summer. I've made the rule in my house that if you can imagine it mom will try her very best to make it happen.

When I was little I remember one year wanting to be and ice cream cone. My mom sewed two big scoops and wrapped a cone shape around my

What a busy week its been. Guess what week it was for me. It was rush to get everything done for Halloween week. And for the first time for as long as I can remember I am ready for Halloween before the day of Halloween! Its a great year for us.

Double Knot Braid



I know there are a lot of readers out there that struggle with braiding. This is one of those styles that you might be able to make work for you if you are not a braider. We originally posted this hairstyle as single knots. We called it Linky Pigtails. Last year we finally did a video tutorial for that hairstyle and at the time I remember wanting to play with the left out hairs and make it look

Week 8 {#Girlydos100daysofhair}



SHORT WEEK!!!! My favorite. We slept in (a bit) this morning. And we are still lounging in our PJ's and its almost 10 am. I love a much needed lazy day. I have spent the morning working on Halloween costumes trying to buy some time before my baby wakes up. He has been waking up the last few mornings needed some one-on-one super snuggle time with his mommy. And that trumps almost any other need

Week 7 {#GirlyDos100DaysofHair}


 

This week was such a busy week. You got three new posts here on Girly Do's, my son started basketball and its October, so that means in all my down time I am busy sewing Halloween costumes. And guess what?... I LOVE EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Life may get busy, but this is totally what I signed up for when I had my first child to when I adopted my fourth.

Tiny Box Braid Tie-Back






This isn't one of the most unique hairstyles I've done in a while, but I really like the fishtail box braid, but I don't love how it is only done in a ponytail right now. So I have set out on a mission to come up with some way for it to be worn and be a little more noticeable that it is amazing all the way around. I think we did pretty good at making it noticeable, but now its so small maybe

Our {Hair Care} Routine: Part 2





Products!!! One of the biggest questions I am ever asked when it comes to our routine is about which products I use (personally). And as a professional which products I recommend. These are the products I have and use myself.
When I pulled out all of my products I thought it looked a bit overwhelming, so instead of writing up a long post about each of them individually I turned the camera on

Week 6 {#GirlyDos100DaysofHair}



We had a really great hair week! The week started out with a bump and I was sure Beans was coming down with something and might be staying at home sick, but it ended up just being a headache. Thankfully. I've told her to make sure she's drinking enough water to help keep the headaches away. (Keep reading to get links to these tutorials.)




Day 25-- This day officially makes us a quarter of
