Dollar Store Curlers

They work, I don't think I would let her sleep in them over night, ( I'm pretty sure they would fall out)
But they worked alright with very lightly dampened hair, used in the morning, before we left the house.


 I happen to think that for a dollar.. These curlers are a pretty good deal.

DRY ERASE MARKERS-PERFECT FOR THE CAR!
We love using dry erase markers in the car...This is a cute note from my mama.
 Jason likes to write silly things...I mostly love writing love notes.
But I also write numbers and things when I'm in need of a place to write a quick note.
My very favorite use for dry erase markers in the car...DRUMROLL...Jk
I write the alphabet and words on the rear view mirror for me to help Millie and Mackie practice!
I write on it during the red lights...And help them practice during our drives.

Things got a little hairy today
Mackie Rock'in the Macklemore (Made sweeter for little boys)

I put Paul Mitchell Spray Wax on it
...and had so much fun styling and restyling his hair. The great thing about a good wax..
Playability!!
I'll have to post more photos to show the versatility of this cut! I love it!
 Millie on the other hand got some clip in hair extensions...(My new love BTW) And the only type of extension I hadn't tried up until this week. And she got some quick eyebrows and makeup...
She Couldn't be more happy about looking like Mommy. SERIOUSLY SO LAUGH OUT LOAD FUNNY!! I will post about the extensions soon. I will also post about the hits and misses I have experienced lately when It comes to my Extensions. Let me just say now, I hate tape in hair extensions! Don't do them! They seem like a good idea, Until they aren't.

I have a confession! 
I am completely and totally obsessed with eyelash extensions! 
They have literally changed my life! I am their number one fan!
...And I Can't stop and I wont stop.....
Really though, I can't say enough good things about them, 
I know they are sparsish in this picture...
But that's how I like them sometimes, Other times I like five times this many. 
Or there's times I like them EXTREMELY long...or Short.
I love the fact that if you don't want to spend a bazillion dollars on Expensive "looking" eyelashes you can do them...WARNING! I have tried many, MANY different types of glue..And have found ONE..I REPEAT ONE kind of glue that doesn't hurt my eyes when doing them myself....
I am a licensed Cosmetologist But I am also the Biggest advocate of women being able to do things for themselves, by themselves..Especially if your on a budget, Or you have five million babies like me and the only time you can do things for yourself is on the off chance that the stars align 
and you get a second to Have Mommy primping time...
More on my love for Eyelashes and why on my Diy eyelashes tutorial.
 Which I swear I will work on one of these days.

What makes you happy?
It makes me happy to have a clean house,
 A happy Husband and children,
Yummy food prepared for their hungry tummies.
But most of all I love to be crafty! And I love to be thrifty!
Nothing makes me happier then when the above "Happy" things are done,
And I have a couple awesome Diy projects in the work.
Because nothing is more satisfying and fun, (In my humble opinion)
 Then making a house a home.

CUTTING STRINGS
Boooooo!!! I've been wanting to post these outfits but I didn't want to cut the strings! 
There are still some left...There usually are. But I don't really mind.
 The shirts were only five bucks at Wally's.

 I love this reversible knit fabric!! Thanks for the Joann's gift card Grandma J.

 I've made Valentines outfits for my kids every year, I was going to skip it this year because I've had so many other projects going on...But I couldn't, I work best in crunch time anyways.
 You have probably seen all the tutorials on using freezer paper, It is one of my favorite crafting methods. And if the design isn't too intricate, it can be super fast too!
I've never reused my freezer stencil before, but I did this time! And it worked! With the help of a paper towel between the left over spray paint and my iron.
I fitted all the kids shirts to them, taking in the sides and shortening the sleeve on Mackie's.
I got the shirts at Walmart, and I felt like they were a little frumpy looking.
On Millie and Mackie's I stenciled the whole thing, and I like  how they turned out~
 On Lucie's I hand painted the letters and I don't love the look as much...
Don't look to close at Rock's, I decided to do it last minute with nail polish ... 
LOL it was cold and I was done. I just didn't want him to be left out. 
He'll never know he was an afterthought, Right?
