Humbling, but true...

Humbling, but true my baby Toogums hair is kicking my butt ! Now anyone who knows me KNOWS that I pride myself on my ability to "Do" hair. However this is not the case with my sweet baby Toogums. She has definitely reached way back into our ancestory to adorn her cute little head with silky soft locks. I've been told that my hair was much more curly than hers when I was a baby, but I can hardly imagine that based on what adorns my head now. So HUMBLING as it may be I searched a website of a white woman with VERY, VERY good advice on how she cares for curly locks that her sweet baby girl has. A White Woman, I know, I can hardly believe it, ME getting advice from a White Woman about Black Hair! I should be the one GIVING the advice. Well, whatever it takes, I'm gonna do my best for my sweet baby Toogums. Thank you lord for blessing my baby with a beautiful mane, I pray I learn to care for it in such a way that it brings the beauty you intended!

The Pregnancy Myth about having heartburn = lots of hair is definetly true! I was definitely a Tums popper while I carried her.

Especially since it seems as though it's a good alternate way to keeping in touch with family and friends. I hope that if I get this blog started, maybe those I hold dear will start one too and we can be apart of each other's lives, special events, or just share pictures even though we all live so far away (mainly me), so here goes...
