Girls & Curls

We had our first experience with foam curlers. I’d recently told Madeline how I used to occasionally sleep in curlers, and she immediately wanted me to try it with her tresses. And of course, Baby Rae didn’t want to be left out.

The before photos…

The after photos (which include curls and a bonus raspberry manicure)…

    Wow, so beautiful! I can't wait to try this with Maggie…once her hair gets a little thicker! I use to sleep with braids to get curly hair, have you tried that with them yet?

    What beautiful daughters… you are blessed. They are blessed.

    So cute! I got some foam curlers, just for fun a few weeks ago. My ten year old is now waiting for her hair to grow out (she has a above the chin bob) so she can start getting curly hairstyles too!

Hi, I’m Kate

I’m a wife, mom of five kids, writer, speaker, storyteller, bibliophile, runner, eating disorder survivor, and perfectionist in recovery. I'm the author of Getting Past Perfect: Finding Joy & Grace in the Messiness of Motherhood  and Weightless: Making Peace With Your Body.

I’ve tried a lot of things in my life – anorexia, bulimia, law school, teaching aerobics, extended breastfeeding, vegetarianism, trying to be perfect and failing miserably at it – and through it all I’ve been writing. And learning to embrace the messiness of life instead of covering it up, making excuses for it, or being ashamed of my brokenness or my home’s sticky counters.

Nowadays I’m striving every single, imperfect day to strike a balance between keeping it real and keeping it joyful.

 

“She could never be a saint, but she thought she could be a martyr if they killed her quick.”
