Momma needs some hair help

I had wanted to go natural for quite some time but never knew what or how to do it. So, I didn't. Than I had daughters. 3 in fact, and since I'm the mommy, I'm in charge of their hair. I did my best braiding but it was nothing adventurous. So, after staying home with them for just over a year and NOT having my own money, I stopped perming my hair. Then I found a 'natural' salon and I did the 'big chop'! My husband calls me an african now and my girls loved it, at first. Now, it seems I'm at even more of a loss of what to do. I wash and condition it when I can and I wear it in a, mostly, unkempt afro!

Then I found this amazing woman on YouTube and she's teaching me how to deal with my girls' hair. I have tried a few cute styles and thank's to her chanel, washing and detangeling their heads has been SOOOO much easier!  One day I'll have time to try her techniques on my own head. Check her out here. This is what MAK would LOVE for me to do. She has a lot of spanish and anglo friends and always asks for her hair to be 'free'. Momma's working on it honey!

3 under 3!

I am the mommy of three little girls all under the age of 3 years old! What?!?! That sounds so crazy! During my 20's I told everyone I wasn't 'birthin no babies'. There was always a part of me that wanted to be a mom but I never thought I would find love. I never really had any steady boyfriend either so it wasn't a part of my reality back then. Flash forward to my 30's, I moved to NYC, met and fell in love with Mark and now, here I am with 3 under 3. Not only do I have 3 kids but I am a stay at home mom. That means that I'm working 24/7 instead of 9-5! Not only am I on call 24 hours a day but I'm called upon most of the time also! When I was young my mom used to say ' I'm changing my name' and I only recently understood what she meant! I'm sure all mommy's know exactly what I mean. My husband is a great help! He does 90% of the cooking and he is great with the girls! In fact, we just signed Mikayla (2.8) up for swimming lessons a...

Vacation

Is it a rule of the universe that when you travel with your kids they must always get sick? We just returned from visiting my mom in Florida for just over a week and this trip was actually different! Instead of one kid getting a little cold, two kids got a virus that landed one in the ER and one at an urgent care clinic! To make matters even worse, my tooth chipped and I had to go to a dentist the morning of our return flight! Talk about a whirlwind! Now were are back home and I have the pleasure of schedulling all of our follow up care. Love it!

Un-Tech my heart

I've been without a smart phone for about 5 months now and life is very different these days. My girls play games less. My friends and family hear from me less. Texting is such a hassle now, too. But some good things are no more texting and driving. More real face time with the people I'm with and best of all, my phone bill is a mere $30 a month! That also means more dough for other things, like food! ( side note: am I the only one who's paycheck  is depleted at the supermarket?) I actually feel a little more free now that I'm not tied down to my phone. Leaving the house without it isn't such a big deal anymore! I wrote that almost a year ago. Today, I've got a Samsung Galaxy that I don't hate. How was my life affected by un-teching it back then? My kids only have 1 app on my phone which, honestly, I play with more. I still don't text and drive...go me! I mostly use it as a clock and to text. I text quite a bit but to only 2 or 3 people, my husband, m...
