Raising Children to Weather the Storm
Princess starts kindergarten this week and coming up with cute curly hairstyles is on my to-do-list. When it comes to caring for her biracial hair, keeping curls moisturized is key.

When we heard that Princess would be in this week’s issue of People Magazine, to say we were excited is just an understatement.
