Do you have a bunch of something that is in different places in your house? If you were to put it all together in the same place would the sheer volume of it all freak you out? That is what just happened to me when I figured out just how many hair bows Halley has. They were in baskets, drawers and a little bow holder and I decided to group them all together. I took my trusty staple gun and ribbon and attached it to the mirror in her room. One by one I hung up the bows. Some have been bought, but most of them I made late at night while watching T.V. for school the next day. The thing is, Halley absolutely loves to wear them. Each morning when she wakes up she asks if it is a "bow day". I however, have become known as the mom of the "girl with bows" at her preschool. I am still trying to figure out if that is a good thing. Not a single other child wears them. Ever. Each day my girl skips down the hall in her huge mass of ribbony goodness. If you can't wear 5 yards of ribbon in your hair at age three when can you? 
Not only did I wear Lauren's Braid to church yesterday, my sweet, innocent, doesn't know who Lauren is, almost four year old daughter did too. What is the world coming to? All I do know is, the braid kept my misbehaving, shouldn't have cut them bangs under control and kept Halley's hair out of her face. This might just be our new signature hairstyle. But then what about the bows?
I am LOVING the hair bows!!! If I had a girl, I would be in the same boat... little girl stuff is absolutely irresistible!!! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you both had matching braids! Did you get a picture taken together?? How wonderful that you know how to make bows! I am so jealous! Lori
ReplyDeleteHalley is precious!!
WOW! Look at those bows!! And I thought Gentry had a lot!! LOVE THEM!!! Most of ours are headbands though so I need to make some regular ole bows for her!! I guess I need to lay out her clothes the night before so I know what colors we need!! FUN FUN FUN!!
ReplyDeleteWHat a cute idea, julie! Right now I just have all of Lil's hair goodies thrown in a basket--and there are lots!
ReplyDeletethat is a great idea!!! My little girl has a ton of hair things too. They are everywhere, including my car, the diaper bag and on my piano! Thanks for the great idea! I love the mirror, too cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I'm not alone!!! My girls used to be known for the bows they wore. They are 9 and 7 now and don't wear them at all, well my 7 yr old does once in a blue moon, but they REFUSE to give them up. I love what you did on the mirror!!!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...i can't stand how completely YUMMY she is!!! Oh my!!!
ReplyDeletei wish i had that many hair bows to make a fun mirror with! i wish i had taht much hair to put in a yummy hairbow!! You both are just fantastic!!
love love the bows on the mirror...very sweet...Chloe would have a bow that size out in a hot minute...never in a million years.
ReplyDeletehave a happy day
Hi! I should let you in on this too...I tried a twisty thing instead of the braid yesterday - and it worked too - for my unruly bangs! You just pull in the hair and twist it - just like the braid!! Since we are braid sistas...:0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea attaching all the bows around the mirror like that. It looks great. My four-year old loves bows, too. She insists on wearing one (at least one) every day, and if it falls out you'd think the world was coming to an end! I also love the Hills braid. Very cute.
