The Hair Diaries

 Every Tuesday,Thursday and Saturday morning we  have a very serious crying marathon in my house. My 6 year old doesn't cry anymore but will rather have long braids that hang down to her back (haha her daddy and uncles are not having that) so she whines all morning as i comb and path the hair. My 2 year old usually screams so loud my son begs for earplugs haha.

Everything is cool until i show up with
 a comb or brush  

Ready to comb/brush

     Growing up we were not allowed to braid our hair or grow it out until you were well into college. Whats worse is that in my dads house you were not allowed to spend more than 3 minutes on  hair routine or my dad will be taking you to get the hair cut even shorter. I thought it was a rule from hell until i had kids and completely respect the short hair rule. Two things in my morning routine that contribute to me loosing my cool; hair and school clothes for the girls. I  have just figured out the school clothes routine with help from my sister Joy who is a mother of 3 herself, but what is still a challenge is how to complete this hair process without loosing my cool. ( I will have to do a whole other blog on how easy it is to dress up kids who don't wear school uniforms )

My yaya has so much hair i have actually had
 her hair cut twice already because i cant quite
 tame it ahh..yes i said TAME. Today i did 
not use a comb she wouldn't let me.

We never comb our hair,
no doubt the kids don't want to hear of any combs haha.
