Ivy's hair is FINALLY long and thick enough to give her mommy lots of fun styling options. I absolutely love the time we spend every morning talking and trying out different styles. Her hair is a beautiful strawberry blond color with yellow and red highlights. I have no idea who's genes she inherited, but whoever it was: THANK YOU!
And here's sweet Delia with her little ponies. She has CRAZY thick hair that I have to wash every single day, but I love it anyway. She wasn't very happy with the style, so we'll hold off on the hair pulling torture a little longer.
I know there's many people who think spending time on little outfits and hairstyles is an absolute waste. It's true, it's very frivolous. On the other hand- the life of a stay at home mother is, at times, exhausting, tedious, overwhelming, and stressful. We often go many days without recognition of our tireless efforts to keep the family and house in perfect order. I dress my little girls in silly clothes and take time to style their hair in elaborate bows and braids because I very simply love to. It's not essential to their health or happiness, it's not going to create world peace or stop world hunger, but it makes me feel like my life isn't just changing diapers and cleaning dishes- so BACK OFF people...

I don't think it is a waste at all!! I love to do my girls hair and I also love the bonding time. I look at a bunch of hair blogs and Katelyn will actually pick out the hairstyle that she wants so in a sense we both win.
Your girls are just so cute and I can't believe Delia has that much hair!
ha ha...i love the way you look at things! :) What cute little girls! getting girls ready definitely takes more time than boys so we might as well enjoy it right?
Soooo cute! i love it!

I agree with you! It is great time to bond and if they will let you do it, why not?! They are such cute pictures! Thanks for sharing!
Love You guys!
You have such darling girls, and they always look perfect. I love doing Camri's hair, and I dont think there's anything wrong with primping your girls! If Capri had hair I'd do hers too, but she wasn't blessed with Delia's locks! I love her little piggie's! You are an awesome Mom, Erin! I still need you to teach me how to do those beautiful braids... :)
