Be the best Mum I can be

Ok, anyone with red, green, purple, yellow or blue hair. I don’t get it, now having said that my 16 year old daughter wanted to change the undertone of her hair blue. For the first two years I said no. Finally, at a moment of thinking it was her hair, and her soul- I trusted her taste and bought the dye.

To be perfectly honest it looks kind of cool. We get to spend 45 minutes every two weeks, sort of doing girl stuff. And when all is said and done, I am glad that she is happy enough with the way she looks to wear blue hair undertones. A week later she came in my room and had a heart to heart about her problems and decisions. Not sure- but maybe some battles are better to let your children win.

Over the years I haven’t always had a lot of money. So, in a small way I would always try to allow our birthday kids, to pick there breakfast, lunch and dinner for the day. It wasn’t anything really big, but over the years they really remembered. As they are college students and teens now, we still pick. But, I learned really quickly what each child considered there favorite meal.

I was my birthday today, and how much they have all grown. I like to go out for my birthday, so we had a nice dinner in town.
