(shy girl waves her hand and smiles) I have 4 babies of my own and really look up to you as a mom. I want to mother my children well.... Teach them all the right things, but mainly love love love them well. At the end of the day, I just want to make sure I did my best to let them know that I love each of them and that God does too. But that is a pretty tall order sometimes.<br /><br />Anyway, I love to read about your relationship with your kiddos. It makes me want to travel to Wisconsin just so I can hang out with you and your family and learn to always be calm, cool, collected, and kind. I think that's the thing I like the best. You are kind, not condescending. I want to be that.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786108395278276244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-29588141616605097622014-03-10T14:51:46.470-05:002014-03-10T14:51:46.470-05:00Oh how I love your photography - of course you hav...Oh how I love your photography - of course you have the BEST models Ever - the pixie if Fabulous on Katie.

I am excited for more hours of sunshine. I was not too excited about losing an hour of sleep though. Oy! I am waiting at the hospital this morning to photograph a little baby. Exciting. Visiting you made the wait worthwhile.

I'm struggling to deal with it; friends try to help, but give up because they don't have curly hair. I'll struggle a little longer, but may give up. Katie, on the other hand, looks adorable!<br /><br />I know how to use Photoshop (sort of), but I lack the ability to look at a picture and know what changes need to be made. For example, I had no idea I should add black using contrast and levels to get the haze out. Now I know (just hope I'll remember)! I'd love a class (not that I have the time, but...) for learning to adjust pictures.<br /><br />Missy<br />Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08458974625840753280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-27039158538912686162014-03-07T13:52:50.650-06:002014-03-07T13:52:50.650-06:00I've had short hair for over 10 years, since b...I've had short hair for over 10 years, since being diagnosed with a brain tumor. Had TONS of hair before I had it shaved off for the surgery. WISH.I'D.DONE.IT.BEFORE. Like decades, before! I'm petite and have a small face - and mine is so short, it borders on shaved. If I can figure out how to attach a pic, I will, but tell Katie she is gorgeous, daring, unique, and a style setter! She's beautiful with that hair - and that's only part of what makes her shine with beauty!

A "shocker" would put several stalks in bundles . Kansas has a lot of wheat to harvest early students earned money by shocking or harvesting the nearby fields. Early football games were played on a stubbled wheat field. Pep members were called " wheaties" anyways just thought I'd share. <br />Love the coat, and Katie's hair, cute with the bangs! <br />Beckie from Kansas Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-67056007215144440632014-03-07T13:38:49.142-06:002014-03-07T13:38:49.142-06:00Katie is such a natural in front of the camera.

I thought I'd share a tutorial that I think Katie could totally master. It's similar to what I did when my hair was this short. It takes away any possibility that it's a boyish cut, since I know she wants to avoid that. Here's the video: http://youtu.be/NZ9jIv5_68g The actual hair tutorial starts around 1:30 if you get tired of listening to her drag on about comment drama. <br /><br />She recommends the Bumble&Bumble grooming creme, which is kind of expensive if you don't usually spend much on hair products. You can definitely find some cheaper alternatives at Target. I would just look for something that says "shaping" and that is thick like paste. Use the tiniest amount so it doesn't look greasy. <br /><br />Happy Friday!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13264287666490595846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6271225.post-6846454813815141092014-03-07T11:59:18.492-06:002014-03-07T11:59:18.492-06:00The coat is fantabulous.
