Bows and Boys!

A few times a month I scoop up the kids and head for a playdate at the mall or the Golden Arches, but yesterday, I had a playdate!. Yesterday I delved into the world of hairbows. If any of you have little girls, you have probably been tempted by the adorable headwear/bows available for little girls. Locally, we have a wonderful little store called The Pink Hippo and while I have frequented their store on more than one occassion, they are just not in our SAHM budget.

I gathered up my little travel bag, micro-tip scissors, metal ruler, bag of ribbon and my bucket of buttons and off I went.

Here is what I made:

So here's the boy part of my story. So when I arrived from my playdate, I said to Hailey, my 4 year old..."Hailey, come look at what mommy made for you" Of COURSE she was super thrilled and immediately put them in her hair and started twirling and bouncing (she does that alot), well Hunter, her twin immediately started crying. Startled, I asked him what was wrong. His response "How come I don't get any bows" I responded "boys don't wear bows" He emphatically pouted "No Fair"...you just gotta love boys!

So how about a ribbon giveaway! Leave a comment of why you love ribbon. The winner will receive some ribbon goodness from Jillibean Soup! We'll announce the winner on Friday.

Have a great week!
