Miller's Impish Mischiefs

So while my sisters are crafty in the usual ways; painting, sewing, decorating etc, I lack skills and confidence in those areas, so here is my remedy to that. I love Valentine Hairdo's they are so sweet and lovely.

While technically this one isn't strictly a Valentine's do, I love it! With different ribbons it quickly becomes a spirit day do (we do that all the time with red and black pawprint ribbons)a easter do, a Christmas do, etc. You make 4 small square sections on the top and flip them into knots going towards her ears and then thread one strand of ribbon (make sure it's extra long) through the first row of knots, then braid it in with the hair hanging down from the ponytails, secure with rubberbands. Repeat until all four sections are braided and secured Pull all of the hair, including the braids into a ponytail and use your ribbon tails to tie a bow around the ponytail holder. So pretty!



This is so easy and gets so many comments. Simply make a small rectangular section on the top of her head, divide that in two and secure into loose ponytails. Stick your finger through the base of the ponytail and pull the hair hanging down up through the hole (does that make sense?) Take the hair that is now sticking up and divide it into two equal sections. Make into a heart shape and secure with a ponytail or clip. Repeat with other section. You could do one, two, or three hearts depending on the size of head you're dealing with.

I did the same thing on Maddie (last year) with just two half ponies and it looked super cute so you don't even need a lot of hair for this one.

This one can be cuter than my picture. As you can see my first ponytail should have been down farther, but then you just gather the hair into rubberbands to make a heart shape I would also try a little harder to make my parts neat and tidy.


You can also do this one from last year which still is one of my favorite hair dos of all time.


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!

Jacob lost his second tooth today and in preparation for the tooth fairy's visit he wrote her this little note. It's adorable. It's extremely well written for a second grader, here it is word for word. Note the correct use of commas, what second grader does that?

Tooth Fairy,
I have lost 2 teeth already, and I'm very excited. My tooth fell out when I was brushing my teeth. Good thing that it did not go down the drain. My tooth is in the tooth saver (a little treasure box he got at the dentist when they had to pull his first loose tooth) again. You don't have to give 1000 dollars. I don't think you have that much. And I can not have that much from you. Enjoy the tooth!

From Jacob

I loved it so much I made sure the tooth fairy was generous, although it was no where near 1000 dollars. Such a cute boy!
