Summer Tresses: An Oasis In The Desert

Summer Tresses: An Oasis In The Desert

I’ve always had very dark hair, so parenting two blondes has come with a new set of hair challenges. Everything stains their hair. Once, Ever laid on a pink pillow case and her hair was hot pink (only on her neck area) for weeks. The pool turns their heads into green, unruly haystacks. Blonde tresses are no joke during the summer since they also seem to dry out easily!

Dessert Essence is the first company to bring Jojoba oil to the marketplace and it’s one of the ingredients in their incredible products! We’ve been using Desert Essence this summer to combat all of our issues in one go. No more dry, green, brittle hair.

Closer

Closer

I genuinely can not imagine our life without these two being 13 months apart. People hardly notice anymore, that they are so close in age, while it was ever so obvious when they were they were babies.

They spend a lot of their day together, mostly good, but when they get in trouble it’s always enhanced. (Like when they were dressed to go out last week, but both somehow ended up in the sprinklers completely drenched.)

It’s really important that I never laugh when they’ve done something terrible, no matter how funny. Once they get a laugh, you can’t win.

No one tell Ever she looks like a mime in her favorite outfit. She’s afraid of mimes, so she’d probably never wear it again!

One Out Of Two Ain’t Bad

One Out Of Two Ain’t Bad

The girls wake up incredibly different; Zara is slow and calm, Ever is… scary. It’s like she just recharged for the new millennium. I don’t know how you can wake up laughing,because I hate waking up, but she is dynamite immediately.

Isn’t it funny how different kids look in the morning? The girls got these pajamas for our upcoming Disney Cruise – wait?! Did I mention the cruise yet?! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited we are!! Our Godparents are taking us on a DISNEY CRUISE to Mexico. We already have the countdown app running on our phone and have watched every YouTube on it out there so we can make the most of every moment on the ship. If you have any tips for us, please let me know – we’ve never done a cruise, let alone with kids, so I want to know everything there is to know!

We’ve never had a complaint about trips to the museum. You’d think they’d tire of it after years of visits and revisits, but it’s remained a family favorite. I have way too many pictures of them here too, but we always take more.

Ways to teach your children about Artist

THOSE SOCKS.mass dinosaur gravewalrus exhibitoarfish and kidsIt was a really slow day, and the only person we repeatedly bumped into was this cute little nun who was power-walking the whole place!

We’ve got several other LA outings coming up as we just got tickets to The Huntington and LACMA. We’ve never taken the kids to either one! Such a shame, because I know they will love them both. Trying to decide if we should wait a while for the roses to bloom at the gardens? Anyone know the when the most roses are blooming?!?
