A little story about her. Several years ago she found scissors, and we all know that NEVER ends well. Her hair was in the process of growing out and she had some bangs that she wanted trimmed. Well, my sister wouldn't do it "RIGHT THEN" so she found another set of scissors and took matters into her own hands.
When my Sophie originally wanted "no more bangs", she thought it meant we had to cut them off. We reminded her that is what my niece did and Sophie remembered and changed her tune.
So little missy has been growing her hair out. I have taken it upon myself to be in charge of her hair. She is good with it, I am good with it and my little sister who is self-described as "not girly at all" is good with it.
Here is another little "growing out the bangs do. Because her hair is at different lengths, there are some wispys with the bang ends. With the finished style, you can hardly tell.
In world of mass production it's hard to be unique and it was amazing to find out there are still companies like Leather Satchel Co that can actually customize your items. They do their best in meeting your wishes with dedication and patience. That's how my satchel was created. :)
I chose color, model, accessories and my initial. It was so much fun. The best part - nobody else has the same!
I'm a bit in "white mood" lately and Santorini's white architectural perfection only made me "whiter".
At least it's easy to have colorful accessories and it's useful on such strong sun ;)
This little one starts her second year of preschool in a couple of weeks and it's time to start training her hair. She has started having a VERY big opinion about her hair. I can't cut it, and she wants "no more bangs" and either VERY straight or "magic wand curlies". I am a little back and forth on this one. She has such a big forehead that I feel she just looks better with bangs. Plus they are so little girly that it makes me feel a little sad.
Sometimes it's as easy as tiny ponytails in colors that match her outfit.
No bangs just makes me feel like it's official. My last baby is growing up.
If you ever decide to go to Santorini, take a warm sweater or jacket for the evenings and mornings.
Although during the day sun burns and temperature skyrockets, as soon as that magnificent sunset is finished temperature rapidly falls and strong wind during July and August makes this magic island very chilly to be at.

It's summer. For the most part, we are lucky if hair gets brushed, let alone done. We found some super cute hats at the beginning of summer and most of the time my little girls just plop those on or we spend most of our days lazing around "the Hill" at the pool and the hair looks a chlorinated, tangled mess. But on rare occasions, I do get their hair done, and it's simple in the summer.
This one is an old stand by. Two ponytails flipped into knots. Nothing fancy, no ropes or twists or braids. Just something to keep their hair out of their faces.
****Just a little aside, we always ALWAYS start with wet hair to keep their hair fly-away free. My girls have lightweight, soft hair. The smooth usually only lasts for a little while unless they are straight out of the shower. I like them to bathe at night, so the two don't mesh well. I've tried every product on the market and one day in a moment of desperation, we discovered our secret weapon.
Warm water, infusium 23 leave-in treatment and conditioner. We had this on hand, which is fine because we all love the coconutty smell. I fill up the spray bottle with warm water, drop in about a teaspoon of conditoner and two-ish tablespoons of infusium 23. It's like freshly conditioned, wet hair without having to rush to have one more person in the shower in the morning. The weight of the conditoner helps so much and the infusium 23 keeps the flyaways to a minimum...unless your daughter wraps her head in a fleece blanket and wears it as a disguise. I'm afraid nothing can help with that.
