Calling in Reinforcements!

I've always been an "I got this" kinda person.   Seriously, I got this.  But sometimes its just not worth it.

Today Lyrick had an appt to have her hair washed, conditioned, and combed at a local salon.  We've had it done at a salon before.  But this one is close to Lyrick's new school and the price is better for regular washings which we are now scheduling for roughly every other weekend.

Seriously, I got this....pulls out debit card.  HAHA! 

Really, some things are worth doing yourself.  And somethings are worth paying someone with skills and tools to make it easier and better.  The key is finding the balance.    :)

Thank you Payton at Revive for a great morning!  :D

The afternoon braiding was much more manageable since we both weren't already irritated with each other from the washing.  :)

T -- 2 days till school!  :D  

Today was hair day!

Today was the day to redo L's hair.  I try to get a style to stretch over 2 weeks and sometimes it makes it even longer.  I took out her previous style yesterday, washed and conditioned her hair.  Put it in big braids to stretch the curls and then did this style this afternoon.  It took about an hour and she was not happy by the end (note to self: right before nap is not hair time).  It is one continual two-stranded rope twist starting just above her left ear and looping all around her head into a little bun.  It is great protection for her hair and makes getting her swim cap on very easy.  I can add a flower for decoration!  I'm hoping to make this one last till next friday!  We'll see.

I clearly need to finish my yard work.  Oops!  HA!

She wouldn't look at me and smile.  But she liked sitting in front of our pretty purple flowers!
