French Braid to Side Pony

Make a small french braid across the front top of her head. Make sure the braid goes all the way down. This is similar to a previous post but instead of a regular ponytail do a far side ponytail.

I had another blogger tell me about wrapping the braid around the ponytail so I have done that to her side ponytail. (thank you to this blogger for the idea)

We love flowers and right now she always wants the same flower so we added this flower for fun.

Shakira Hair

Pick one side of her head and make 2 small french braids along the top of the ear.

We curled her hair to make the big loose curls with a straightening iron. Or you can use a

1 1/2 in curling iron. (I apologize for the pictures my husband needed my good camera and left me with a really old one)

Not a Hair Post but Fun

I was emailed this information and wanted to share it with all of you wonderful mom's

Twelve Days of Christmas

We know you will love this. For more gift ideas we have added some more simple and inexpensive gifts in our Family Fun section titled Friend gifts.

Twelve Days of Christmas by Amber at www.mom-stuff.com

Last year I decided I wanted to bring some joy to a family’s life that I knew was struggling due to the troubled economy. Everybody needs a little bit of cheer all the time but especially at Christmas. I focused on family time to bring some joy to this family each evening. This is my version of the Twelve Days of Christmas.

My version of the 12 days of Christmas is very different than the original version. I took a variety of poems and printed them out on Christmas stationary. To use my format buy stationary with printing across the tip as in a header. I then bought or made an item that goes along with each poem I have listed. The items I included at the bottom of each poem. I put each item into a Christmas sack with the tag tied with curly ribbon. Each day I would deliver the poem and the item to my family’s house. My hope was to create a family bonding time for each of the 12 days before Christmas and add some Christmas JOY. I hope you will enjoy this and have a Merry Christmas.

On the 1st day of Christmas my true friend gave to me. This is what the tag read just change the 1st to 2nd or the pattern can be found by clicking here

The 12 poems are listed below by clicking on each one it will take you to the actual poem

The Night before Christmas for Moms

Toddler Twist into Small Ponytail

As most of you who have toddlers know it is difficult to get pictures so we did our best but these were the only 2 that worked so I hope you can get the hairstyle from them

I made a parallel part diagonally along the top of her head. I then made a diagonal part and made a twist (or pulled the hair through her small ponytail)

Then make a second ponytail parallel to the first one. I have been roll brushing her hair while it is wet to give her some more body.

Double Twists into Ponytail

Another variation of the double twists. I made a diagonal part and then made 2 identical twists.

Once the twists are done I pulled the remaining hair into a ponytail and the last pull through I left the ends of her hair in the elastic.

A very simple and yet fun hairstyle.

2 Small Twists to Ponytail

Make a small diagonal part and pull the hair though the ponytail.

Make a 2nd part diagonally along the lines of the first one.

Then back comb the crown of her head.

Then put the hair into a low ponytail.

Add a flower for accents

The side of her ponytail

Front French Braid to Pigtails

Make a french braid across the front top of her head.

Make pigtails with the braid pulled into one side.

Then pull the hair upward through the ponytail as shown below.

Then take the hair from the ponytail and pin it up under the hair

You can also do a messy bun which ever is easier for you.
