Yesterday, the kids finished their schoolwork first thing in the morning, and we got to go spend the day at the park. It was amazing! The kids got to play at the splash pad and playground for over six hours, and I got to visit with other moms. Being a mom who is always with the kids has its great points, but sometimes, we just need that adult interaction.
While we were there, the children were able to play with others on the playground and splash pad for six hours while I visited with other moms. I was able to show them some solutions to hair headaches and breakage. I especially love that I am not having to spend hundreds of dollars replacing broken hair elastics, and I can use the same accessories for my hair and my 2-year-old's. I am thankful for my flexible schedule that allows me to do more with my family.
As I sit here working, I am also planning what our next family outing might be. I am looking forward to our next trip to a park to play in the water. What is your favorite activity for a scorching hot day? This morning, when our sprinklers got turned on for the season, the kids were already wanting to run through them. I guess we are all about playing in the water on hot summer days, even when we can't leave the house to do it.
Today, I am working online from home, as I am fighting another weather-related headache. I am thankful that my hair does not contribute to these headaches. My shunt and nerves cause enough of them. The blessing in that is that in understanding the problem of chronic headaches, I am able to empathize with others who get them and offer solutions. What are your biggest hair problems... accessories that break too easily and have to be replaced on a regular basis? Hair headaches? Hair breakage making it hard to grow hair out? Too hot or heavy to wear it down and too painful to put it up? (That last one was my problem)
Don't let hair problems get in your way this summer... get out and enjoy the sunshine and days at the park. For more information and hairstyling ideas, join my Facebook group here.
