It’s the truth. I just don’t have a girly bone in my body and find myself completely clueless when it comes to being a mom to girls. With my son, it’s easy as pie, I grab the clippers, buzz off the hair, line up the back and he’s good to go.

My curly, fluffy headed daughter is an entirely different story. One that luckily ended well yesterday.

You see, she’s a girl. Not just any girl but the kind that wants her piggies painted, pretty dresses, lipstick (yes, she’s asking for it at 2 ugh) and her hair made all purdy. She should have asked her dad.

You know what that is don’t you? It’s okay, go ahead and laugh, in fact, laugh enough for both of us because all I was doing at the time was panicking. Big time! Little Miss Kaydence asked her mommy to brush her hair. What mommy didn’t know was that a round brush and curly hair don’t mix well. Alright, no more laughing! It took me nearly 20 minutes to pull each strand out in small chunks to avoid breaking her hair.

Feel free to leave me some “curly hair for dummies” tips, I could sure use them.
