Hair Today
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Wednesday, May 11, 2011
Up until about a week ago, my dear sweet one-year-old daughter wore a precious hair bow without protest. I would pop the giant accoutrement into her bangs and off we’d go, no fuss no muss.
Lately, I am sad to report, Isabel will have none of it. The minute I insert the grosgrain accessory, she yanks it out. We try again: I put it in, she pulls it out. Repeat, repeat, repeat.
“No, no,” I explain, “it’s... READ MORE
Precious Life Hair Bow
Posted by Danielle Bean in Reviews on Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Okay. How very sweet and simple and adorable is this?
It’s the Precious Life hair bow, available from the good folks at Hair Bows for Life. 10% of all sales at Hair Bows for Life always goes to support pro-life charities, but 50% of sales of this Precious Life hair bow will be donated to charity.
I think we all must know at least one little girl who could use one of these in her Easter basket this year. Available in lots of sizes and styles.
Hair Today

Hallie’s post about post-partum hair loss resonated with me, and I’m happy to report I’m on the other side of that adventure. Ten months after the birth of our baby, my hair is (finally) filling back in.
It’s funny to have little baby hairs lining my scalp, but I’ll take it—I always get nervous when the hair starts falling out in handfuls, and I’m always so relieved to see it come back in.
Take heart, all you postpartum mama’s. You too, will look like Eddie Munster before you know it!
Hair It Goes
Posted by AGroup in Reviews on Friday, February 25, 2011
Oh, girls. Something terrible has happened: I’ve hit the dreaded postpartum hair loss phase!
It’s so awful I can barely stand to talk about it. No, really, it is! 
Somehow I suspect many of you can relate, though. And I do know that this is just one of those tiny crosses that comes along with the many huge blessings of motherhood. I’m just feeling melodramatic today.
Since I’d rather not shed all... READ MORE
Beard

November, as it turns out, is National Beard Month. In honor of that, I’d like to see how you feel about facial hair (um, on your man).
My husband grows a beard each year and he started working on this year’s edition about four weeks ago. This year, he has big plans. Think: dudes from the San Francisco Giants. We shall see. Last year I was pregnant and Beard didn’t mesh with my hormones. It was too…... READ MORE
Hair Therapy

I like to think that I’m not a vain person, that I don’t give too much attention to my personal appearance, other than to make sure I’m clean, well groomed and appropriately attired. My make up routine consists of applying some blush and lip gloss I bought at CVS two years ago on Sundays before Mass, if I’m speaking or have meeting, or if Greg and I are going out on a “date”.
That’s why I’m a bit... READ MORE
Hair Happiness

My kids are happily occupied with apple slices and a pile of books. Laundry, tidying, and dinner prep are on my to-do list today. I should seize this time.
But it’s been twenty minutes since my shower and my hair is at the crucial point between wet and dry. My list can wait. I head for the bathroom to grab my blow dryer and round brush.
It takes about ten minutes to blow-dry my hair. I’ve got a cut... READ MORE
Hair Battles

My daughter has curly hair.
As a person with very straight hair, I’ve always been a fan of curls. They’re beautiful.
However, you would not believe how much fuzz gets stuck in curly hair. Or maybe you would, if you’ve ever cared for it. I was quite surprised once my daughter’s curls got long enough to become fuzz magnets.
If I didn’t sit her down and tackle her head with a comb in hand every day,... READ MORE
Clip, Clip, Clip?

My sisters put my son’s hair in ponytails.
See the picture? That’s the back of my baby boy’s head, with one pink and one coral colored elastic anchored firmly in his locks. Oddly, he didn’t seem to mind the humiliation, and I thought it was kind of cute.
My sisters don’t want to humiliate my son; they were just trying to make the point that we need to cut Blaise’s hair. It’s long enough to put in... READ MORE
So We Cut Off All His Hair
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Monday, August 24, 2009
Remember this little mop top?
I think I almost can, but alas ... he is no more.
It happened so fast, I’m not sure what to make of it.
Last week, I was on the front deck cutting a big boy’s hair with the clippers (Because we’re classy like that—Haircuts! On the deck!) when I noticed Daniel noticing. He seemed more curious than terrified, so I took advantage.
“Danny,” I called to him when I was through,... READ MORE
