Curly Girlie

So far through the six years of my little Freida's life, I have rolled her hair on sponge rollers .... drum roll .... get ready for it .... ONE TIME! Now one would think when you have a little girl with hair that closely resembles Goldilocks you would find yourself curling that hair over and over and over again with pink sponge rollers. You know the ones I'm talking about...

One of the fondest childhood memories I have of my mother was her Saturday night ritual of rolling my hair with those sponge rollers! There I would sit in the middle of the den floor surrounded by a sea of pink sponge rollers of various sizes! My mom was like wonder woman when she rolled my hair! The hairspray was never far from sight much less reach. Of course my job was to hand the rollers to her one by one. As any trusty sidekick, I soon became so in tune with her timing and motions the next roller was ready anxiously waiting before the one prior was tightly secured to my head! It would seem like an eternity for her to finish. Yet her timing was impeccable! I can still hear JR in the background fighting over who would run South Fork all the while my mom and dad tried to figure out who actually shot Bobby! And then it was done. The last curler would be safely fastened with one last snap as the clock struck nine o'clock. And off to bed I went only to wake to a head full of curls just in time for Sunday morning church! 

Now how in the world could I ever deprive my little Freida of developing her own sponge roller memory?

Sweet Saturday Surprises

They say it's the small things in life that matter most! I couldn't agree more. Especially when they are covered in chocolate icing. There is nothing like waking up on a Saturday morning to your husband holding a box of fresh chocolate iced donuts.

Blog Skies Ahead

Is it just me? Or does it seem that every time you muster up the energy much less the creative juices to blog, other pressing matters such as cleaning the house, doing laundry, watching DVR'd episodes of your favorite reality trash show always seems to step in the way and re-route your attention and focus? The "organized" person that I am has bucketed all of these pressing matters into what I like to call the Kill Joy cloud! This lingering gloomy cloud has rained on my blog leaving it neglected for almost a year now. Almost a year of memories and pictures have been left un-blogged and nearly forgotten. I have crossed my arms and stomped my rain boots in the puddles. I have thrown my childish tantrum in my polka dotted rain coat! Where does that leave me? It leaves me with the realization that grey skies are going to clear up and I'm going to put on a blogging face! After all there is a year's worth of sunshine to post ....
