Over 70 Beautiful and Easy Hairstyles for Girls
Over 70 Beautiful and Easy Hairstyles for Girls. These are hairstyles that your daughter can wear to school. Included are braids, ponytails, up dos, buns, pigtails, and half-up dos.
I taught myself how to braid using my Rainbow Bright doll when I was in first grade. That was the start of me doing hair in every toy I had with hair. Fast forward to motherhood and now I have three daughters I get to do hair on every single day. One of my favorite ways to play as a child has been able to become my reality in motherhood!
I am a person who really likes variety in many aspects of my life, and a hairstyle is one of those. I like to do many different styles on my girls and myself. We take photos of what we do so we can visually look through the options when choosing what to do that day. I often post our hair on Instagram. You can find photos on my feed and in my stories. I also have a story highlight called "Hair Tips" where you can see past stories of hairstyles we have done. You can also follow my hashtag #cbwmhairideas
In this post, I have over 70 different hair styles for you to look at and get ideas for doing your daughter's hair. I have written on my must-have products for doing girls hair. Having a good detangling brush, tools, and elastics really make the whole process much smoother. Read my post on Must-Have Products for Doing Your Daughters Hair here.
Moms- Finding Time To Grieve After The Death Of A Loved One
Moms- Finding Time To Grieve After The Death Of A Loved One. How mothers can find the time and space to grieve after the loss of a loved one.
When a loved one dies, grief can rear its ugly head at unexpected times. When you are a mom, it can be difficult to find the time to properly grieve. It can be difficult to give yourself the space that you need to mourn.
After all, your toddler and/or baby is demanding your undivided attention. Your needs as a mom often take a backseat. This can unfortunately also include your time to grieve. It is so important, however, to allow yourself the space to grieve and heal properly.
The only way to move through grief is to allow yourself to actually grieve. It takes time. Time isn't something moms have plentiful forms of. After losing my daughter, however, I had to find time to make the time.
Grief also comes in waves- unexpected at times. Things trigger emotions that otherwise wouldn't have, and it can consume you in the blink of an eye. There's no right way to grieve. There's no normal way to grieve.
There are, however, some things that can help as you navigate the waters. And, there are ways you can find the time and space that you need for you.

From Learning Time to Homeschooling: A Seamless Transition
From Learning Time to Homeschooling: A Seamless Transition. How doing learning activities in preschool years helps you prepare for homeschool during school years.
I first learned about the Babywise version of Learning Time right here on Val’s blog. I was happy to find something new to incorporate into my son’s daily routine as he was getting older. As a former teacher turned stay-at-home mom, I knew then that learning time would be an important (and hopefully fun) part of our day.
When my son was an infant and pre-toddler, I can remember carefully choosing toys that would promote his development. I remember carefully choosing board books to show him about current holidays or places we had visited like the farm or beach. I remember slicing holes in the top of a container and showing him how to put pom-poms through the hole. DIY fine motor work at it’s finest!
I think I started “official” learning time with my son when he was about 20 months old, right after my daughter was born. During her morning nap, I presented my son with a new lesson and then afterwards we would head outside to play. During learning time, I taught my son about colors, shapes, letters and numbers. We did puzzles, made crafts based on the current season or holiday and experimented with various types of art materials. I followed his interests and together we both learned a lot about topics like outer space, dinosaurs and sharks. We both really loved this focused time of day. As any parent knows, children are innately curious. Meeting his natural desire to learn was a joyful experience for both of us.
McKenna Preteen Summary: 9.25 Years Old
This is a preteen summary for McKenna from 9-9.25 years old. Information on a nine year old girl. Eating habits, sleep habits, and anxiety for a preteen girl.
EATING
Eating is great! It seems like every child has at least one thing that is just a non-issue in life, and for McKenna, the number one is definitely food. She eats well. She likes everything I make. She isn't picky at all. Her natural desire is to eat healthy foods over junk or sweets.
SLEEP
Sleep is good. McKenna did have a couple of nights during this time period where she got out of bed after being put to bed because she was worrying about something. This was definitely odd for her. I would have said sleep is another one of those things that we just don't have to worry about with her, but she did have these nights of getting up after bedtime. That has since ended, but it was a thing for a bit.
Something we did for sleep was get her a basic timer so she wouldn't stay up too late reading. She gets so into books that she blocks the world out, so we would tell her what time to stop reading and go to bed, but she didn't look at the clock until that time was long past. So we got a timer and just set it so she knows for sure what time is time to put the book down.
7 Chores Your Six Year Old Can Do
Chores Your Six Year Old Can Do. A list of chore ideas that your child can learn to do when your child is six years old.
It is important to keep chores age-appropriate. If a child is expected to care for something beyond her capability, it can lead to frustration. If she is expected to care for too few things or items that are too easy, he is losing the opportunity to grow and expand.
