Appreciating Mother Nature

We celebrate Earth Day this coming Sunday, but Princess’s daycare decided to celebrate a little early.  Her homework is to bring something in from the outdoors.  Picking some flowers seems like the perfect thing to do, since we’re celebrating nature.  I’m thinking of doing something earthy this weekend.  Do you celebrate Earth Day?

Happy Easter!!

Hope everyone enjoyed the holiday.  We sure did!  Even though Princess didn’t last 15 minutes in church, we still had a blast.  All she wanted to do was play, and that’s what we did.  It’s not often that we get to take pics together.  So, I couldn’t pass up asking her daddy to capture this…

Co-Wash Twist Out With a Twist Experiment

I decided to pass on the pin curls and did “Chiney bump” instead. Check out the last clip for a quick explanation. Check out the end results.   It’s not my natural hair, but I had fun experimenting.  I love having no fuss, no mess hair! Have you tried any new hairdos lately? Weather Anchor Mama
