To Make The Bed Or Not To Make The Bed?

I am a fairly neat person. I have the occasional messy room (my husband would argue my use of the word occasional) and weekly sweep/mop/dust/vacuum my house. I can-not-for-the-life-of-me get myself to make my bed. I walk into other people’s spotlessly clean abodes and marvel at how “model home-esque” it is and I know that a made bed is a big part of the complete picture, but I just can’t do it. I just don’t really see the point since I’m going to get right back in it in less than a day. When I know people are going to see my room, you can be darn sure my bed will be made though and I will feel like I’ve aced my SATs, won the lottery and saved an infant from a burning building all in the same day. It’s that kind of accomplished feeling. Maybe that’s why I’ll continue to savor it for special occasions. 😉

Scarf Up-Do

Posted on

During hot summer months, do you find yourself turning to the ponytail as a quick up-do to get your hair off your neck?

Well, here is a super easy alternative.

All you need is a scarf (or long piece of fabric) and a hair clip. If you’re clever, you could probably get the same effect with a hairband or bobby pins.

Start by tying the scarf around your head, leaving your hair hanging down your back. If your scarf isn’t that long, start tying in the back, so it’ll be able to tie at the top of your head.

Tie in a knot or bow at the top of your head a little off to the side. Looks good just like this, right? I would agree if it was Fall, but my neck is screaming at me that it’s hot, so let’s continue…

Twist the remainder of your hair into a slight bun and clip it at the top. If you feel so inclined, leave some hair hanging free in the front. The messier the better, in my opinion.

Then tuck the clip into the scarf to hide it. And you’re done!

How easy was that? And super stylish!

Hope you’re enjoying your summer and spending as much time outdoors as possible!

Happy Fashion Friday!

We had “Crazy Hair Day” at our Vacation Bible School today and we went all out.

I can’t even begin to tell you how proud this picture makes me of my son. Happy to raise a little person who is silly and spirited, all while learning about Christ’s love.
