3 into 2=
A cute hairdo.
I stole this idea from The Lazy Organizer. She is super talented in EVERYTHING! This is a super cute little girls hairdo. I have done a similar one that involves a lot more elastics and a hand that is a lot more sore.
Split the hair into three ponytails across the hairline. Split the middle one into two and form two ponytails behind the three. Pull the side ponytails and 1/2 of the split ponytails together with the newly formed ponytails. Add some cute bows and VOILA!

Ready for Church
This is a French braid from her part and then secured and pulled into a ponytail. This is one of our standbys for church. I like their hair to look nice and sleek for church.
Sorry about the blur. It isn't always easy catching a picture of a busy 3-year old. We did two knots in the front half of her head and pulled it into a ponytail in the back and topped it off with a red flower. I am in love with flowers in their hair.

A sticky little secret
I had someone ask on my other blog how I got this hairbow to stick to Little Squishy's head. I tried EVERYTHING to get them to stick to The Princess's head when she was an infant. KY, Karo's Syrup, etc. They would just fall off and leave a sticky mess. I just resorted to brain squeezers, which aren't my favorite, but what do you do?
When I had The Pea, a darling nurse in the hospital told me a little secret. Use Elmers Glue. It is water soluble and if you just get their hair wet before you wash the rest of their body at bathtime, by the time you get around to washing their hair, the glue is soft enough to be scrubbed out. Make sure you catch the ribbon. I have had more than my share almost go down the drain.

What do you do when standing makes you sick?
You sit in bed and make hairbows of course.
A week or so ago I took my kids to a museum on a feel-good day. I talked to a lady there whose little girl had these darling bows in her hair. I shared how I had made my little girls flowers in their hair and I assumed she would like to share information. I even gave her the name of this blog so she could look for how to organize her daughters hair things.
Well, the woman wouldn't share. She said she had promised her friend that she wouldn't tell. So much for sharing information. So I came home and googled "little girl hair-bows". HA! Guess what! There is a FANTASTIC woman out there who feels the way that I do. That the IDEA of making hairbows isn't patented. Ribbons have been around forever! So she shared the trade secret.
I am passing it on to you. Enjoy this website!!! Gleen all you can! Make it so that you don't have to spend oodles of $$$ on a bow that you could easily make for pennies! http://bowdesigns.50webs.com/
