my tuesday tribute this week...is to hair relaxer and a pretty face.

my jk is getting so big...and although she has fun hair to bead and do super fun things with a little relaxer will take away a lot of the pain and tangles...and my girlie was begging for "straight pony tails like brooke".

so here's her beauty shot pre-relaxer...adorable, i know.
proving that i can do my own kids hair...and see, i'm only a little crazy!
a little mohawk in the setting time...
and you have to love that face/reaction to how long her hair is relaxed. she was so excited at this point...and then, then came the very bad part.
we rinsed...and there were shouts of terror because that caustic water touched her ear. the nerve!
and then, we bribed her with twizzlers and suddenly the rinsing didn't seem to bother her. yes, i did it...i am not proud, but her stinking hair got rinsed 4 times!

and the result...a super happy miss jada, with some straight pony's like brooke.
she just keeps touching them and saying, "i am so beautiful. i just can't stand it."
and, i kinda agree.

angie's got a few more tributes at her place...so stop on by.

Man - she's just cute any which way you do her hair. It's funny to me that she wants to be like her sis...where do they pick up on that at such a young age?!

Well done mama!
I just relaxed both of my girls' hair this week too (although they have certainly gotten too old to let me put pics on the blog of that. LOL)
It's amazing how much easier it makes fixing their hair!
Enjoy & she does look just adorable!

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd...

sadness

on the way home from DD {{bc apparently there was NO preschool today for jk...it's no prob, really...we just rushed around and scrambled and got in the car and then when we got there and there was no school...well, there were tears...thus DD}} , there came a moment of sincere sadness in my heart. jk: " mommy, i want to look like brookie" "why sweetie? you are the perfect jada" jk: "i don't like my brown skin. i want peach skin like brookie" i just sank. does that not make ur heart want to break? a 3 yo is struggling already with her skin being different. then, this happened: brooke: "jada, god made you and he loves you. he does it all right the very first time" then, i think my heart grew three sizes . jada threw a big smile up on her face and said, "ok. god loves me" now, if we all could just do that. god loves us...he doesn't make mistakes...he makes perfect works of art. sometimes there are scratches in the art.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc
