Mom of the Constant No

February 26, 2019 by Rachel Leave a Comment

How many times do we say no to our kids? I know for me it’s at least a million times a week. “No, you cannot have a cookie for breakfast.”“No, you cannot jump off the 5thstep of the stairs.”“No, we are not having mac n cheese for dinner again.” And on and on it goes. Breaking up fights, telling them it’s too cold for shorts and crocs, telling them crocs and socks are not acceptable fashion wear. But how often do I say no to the ... Read More

Curly Hair Don’t Care

December 27, 2018 by Rachel Leave a Comment

About a year ago I decided to chop off my hair.. and when I say chop, I mean I left about 8" on my hairdresser's floor. It was a huge change, but something had to give. I had this long mane (down to my bra strap), and every morning I had to flat iron or curl it, and I just couldn't take it anymore. I have thick, wavy, frizzy hair, and when it gets long the waves don't look like waves... they just look like a hot mess. Believe me, I tried ... Read More
