First, I would like to just take a moment to say "phew!" Getting all the boys back on track and to school over the past few weeks has been an adjustment to say the least. The twins are in school 5 days a week now and I have to tell you...getting them up and dressed and fed and out the door with all necessities has been ROUGH! But we are now moving faster and all my little Manzi Ducks are falling in line!
So I figured I would give myself a challenge...Cut their hair... As a back story I have always wanted to be a hairdresser. Ever since I was a little girl, I imagined myself like "Truvy" Dolly Parton's character in "Steel Magnolias"--Big Hair Don't Care if you know what I mean! But alas nothing ever came of it, I was accepted to Gordon Phillips but I was pretty sure everyone was accepted so I never pursued the dream.
Back to present day, the twins hair grows so fast it is difficult to get them to the barber every 3 weeks for a clean up so I did a little Amazon Review reading and bought these Wahl Clippers. They are truly an amazing deal and very easy to use. I needed to take this seriously, I considered it my big break in at home hair styling, so I did what any mother would do...I watched youtube.com. My search terms : "How to cut a modern fade" My results: This video and this one.
Well I did it...now I am not saying I am taking over as their permanent barber but I will say these clippers saved me time and money for the "in between cuts"
WALKING TACOS
Did you eat? I have been slacking in the dinner department lately, but I must say my latest slack left us with a new family favorite. In high school our cafeteria would have "Walking Taco Day" meaning it was Taco Tuesday but on the go!
Here is what you'll need:
a small bag of Fritos
Taco meat (cooked and seasoned the way you like)
Now the Fixins:
Shredded Cheese
Sour Cream
Shredded Lettuce
Chopped Tomato
Add everything and anything to your bag of Fritos give a little mix and Viola! Walking Tacos!
EASY MOON SAND RECIPE
This moon sand is so so so easy and I am sure you already have the ingredients! The full recipe is 8 cups of flour and 1 cup of baby oil. Mix them very well and let the fun begin. You can also make this same recipe in a smaller amount by dividing the recipe. I made some for Jack in our water table and he LOVED it!
Last but certainly not least, all things yarn... One of Michaels co-workers just had a baby girl and I wanted to make them a little something from the heart so of course it was a monogram. Using a small board about 9x13 I chalk painted and clear waxed, I attached yarn wrapped initials making baby Sophia her very first monogram.
