Faith, finesse, and a little main-character mystery ✨

Here comes a spooky hairstyle! I’m bringing back this fun bat on Smallish Bear. It was much harder than it looks, but I did it! Added glitter for extra life, and it’s now one of my top 3 Halloween styles!

I’m so proud of this little lady. Today, Isla was super brave and had her first modeling audition. Thank you for creating such a positive, empowering experience. Good luck to all the adorable little ones who auditioned!

Ending the week with a 7-strand Dutch braided ponytail. I love Islie in a high ponytail, and her favorite bow makes this style extra cute.

Does anyone else share their workspace with their bestie? Move her, and she always comes back. If my board bothers her, she simply rearranges herself. The life of a maker with a lap cat.

@TracyMathe6th8 Such a smart way to brighten the face without the upkeep of a full bleach transformation

What a great night! Echo’s last school dance of the year was unforgettable. She looked beautiful in her tropical outfit and so grown up. Huge thanks to the volunteers who made it so special for the kids!

Guess which amazing almost-13-year-old let me style her hair for House Wars? Our OG braided beauty, Miss Echo! I was over the moon. Hoping I can convince her to keep the braids all week. Did you miss seeing her as much as I missed braiding her hair?

Finally got photos of my oldest’s gorgeous hair. Today’s easy style took under 10 minutes and works perfectly with her lovely waves. Hoping to share more of E’s styles soon, even if she prefers simpler looks these days.

@AugustaSutb4r Belief and compassion can be the first step toward helping someone feel seen, heard, and safe

A little late sharing Echo’s style from last week, but I had to post it. I used to love creating warrior/viking hairstyles. With longer, thicker hair and slower mornings, there’s less time now, but this brought me back to simpler days.

Isla’s dance hair from a few weeks ago: a five-strand Dutch braid with delicate accent side braids.

Crazy busy week, so I forgot to share Isla’s Sports Day photos! She was far too cute not to post. She had the best day, and the weather was perfect for the kids.
