PTPA Winner – HairThingz Review
amotherhoodblog in For the love of parenting, Just Between Us, Product Reviews, Review Blogaholics - 0 comments - posted on Mar 9th, 2012My daughter is you typical seven year old girlie girl. She loves trying out new accessories and different styles in her hair. Her hair is very long and very thick, I don’t know what happened because when she was a baby she was pretty much bald until she was about three years old. She giggles at the pictures in the living room but it’s true! When she was about two, out of nowhere these lovely Rapunzel-like locks grew.

Growing up we had fun but simple family holiday traditions around this time of year. Christmas was always a holiday I looked forward to. My parents would go all out and set up a huge (real) tree, we actually went out and cut one down with our dad a couple of times when we were young. We lived in the country for a while so trees were easy access back then. The tree was always beautifully done up with decorations and lights we weren’t allowed to touch. We dressed up in fancy holiday clothes and had guests over bringing us … Continue reading
