Um, Yeah, When Did It Get to be May?

So I guess maybe I should post some Easter photos before it becomes too embarrassing too late and I have to ignore that Easter happened rather than admit to my ineptitude as a blogger........

Why Tag is a Game Best Played on Grass

and not cement....



Got the call from the school nurse that A suffered a tag related injury. Now the 5th grade rule is tag is to be played only in the grass and that tagging is to be done with only one hand. Luckily so far it seems to be superficial damage only (although his sweet wonderful teacher Miss C checked him all day for a concussion)

Happy Easter

Pictures to come later
(I forgot the cord to connect the camera to the computer)

Fashion Fades... Style is Forever

and D's style is one of a kind.
But seriously, is there any fashion look she can't pull off???

(and in case you are wondering about MY fashion sense.... the hat is leftover from a costume I wore several weeks ago to a dead celebrity charity benefit. I was Molly Brown- from the Titanic)

Day of Pink

International Day of Pink is a day to stand against bullying, discrimination and homophobia. Enjoy what these students in Vancouver created for Day of Pink

It's Hair Care- Not Dog Food

So a fellow adoptive mom just launched her line of Babycakes products, which are hair and body butters made from organic/fair trade ingredients. (and while she points out you shouldn't eat it-she advertises that, should you want to, Babycakes would be totally safe to eat) I purchased a jar and have been using it to keep K's braids moisturized.

Friday though was "hair day" and I was taking down the existing braids, detangling, moisturizing with Babycakes and then re-braiding the style. Two hours later I was finished but needed to wash my hands (the Babycakes makes them very smooth but after rubbing it on braids for two hours, I had more on my hands then would absorb) I figured I would wash my hands, then close the Babycakes and put away the comb, and beader, and all the other supplies. I came back in from washing my hands to find the dog had eaten the ENTIRE jar of Babycakes. (yes in less than 60 seconds the dog managed to lick everything out of the jar)

So thanks to Chrissy I now have a dual hair care product/dog treat.

If you want your very own dog treat hair and body butter, you can order Babycakes here. You won't be sorry- the short time we have been using it, it so far is the best product we have tried for K's hair. (and it gets the dog's endorsement too)
