Praise the Lord! Okay, so to make a long story short, I need a new hood hair dryer. The one I had, my parents bought me 11 years ago as a gift. Two days ago, I was sitting under the dryer reading a book and I knocked it off the table while using it! This resulted in the dryer falling on the floor and breaking in two. :( Well, I figured, "it's just a dryer. I'll just hop online and buy a new one..." I never thought that it would be SOOO deep to purchase a new hair dryer! Wow, technology has apparently come a long way in the last 11 years. Then I thought, "well, I'll just go on Ebay and buy the same one that I had...." Can you say SHOCK! When every dryer that looked like mine was prefaced with the words... VINTAGE! LOL All I could do was laugh! Am I vintage now? LOL You Be the Judge! "Thus saith the LORD, Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls. But they

Praise the Lord ! Just wanted to show everyone a new hairstyle. My mother-in-law sent me some flowers and headbands from E-bay and I have been experimenting with them and different hairstyles. Tell me what you think! I love how the girl's hair turned out! This was a "curler" week. That means that I not only did a two-strand twist style, but I also put rollers on the ends of the hair to give them added body and curl. My product of choice for these styles is Twist and Loc gel on very wet, freshly shampooed hair. After styling, the ends were curled with rollers and then the style was set using a hood hair dryer. My girls were so excited and so was I! To maintain this style, simply tie a silk scarf over the hair at night and remove in the morning :) Easy! Total styling time ranged from 45 mins ~ 90 mins including washing, (deep) conditioning, detangling, and styling. Then dryer time was approximately 20 minutes. Just FYI for those who were wondering. I surveyed my neighbor,

Praise the Lord All! I just want to give honor where honor is due. The Best Grandparents Award goes to my parents: Grammy and Papa, for making this year the BEST birthday surprise Ever for my children. They flew many miles to our house to "surprise" the kids for their birthday this year. Every day was fun filled and power packed. It was so refreshing to visit with my parents. I love them so much. My husband and I were just about to start our first home remodel project, and thanks to my dear parents it went from just a kitchen remodel to A full Kitchen Facelift and a New Bedroom :) Gotta Love parents :) The kids had such a great time visiting with them too. Our two sons and our two daughters all had their fair share of attention from Grammy and Papa. They played in the ball pit, went swimming, spent the night in a hotel, enjoyed a surprise birthday party, and much, much more. So this post is a tribute to the greatest family visit of the year ( so far) . God Bless my lovely p
