One thing most adopting families have in common is pinching pennies. There are many ways to do this and many websites with great tips on how to. One thing I started doing is cutting the boys' hair at home. The girls have never been to a "hair cut place" (to have their hair cut) as they used to call it when we would take the boys to the barber shop. And so we pick an evening, line them up, 1-2-3-4 and cut.
I even do the very professional hold-the-comb-in-your-mouth move while styling!
The next morning, off to church, with their fresh new hair-dos.

I am always looking for ways to save on groceries too. Thankfully my mom cuts everyone's hair too! Love

What a beautiful family!
ReplyDeleteI cut the kids hair too!! and the husband. Definitely not one of my favorite things to do but it's nice when its over.
ReplyDeletei am not allowed to have scissors or clippers. ever. i have more than once given my girls a monstrous trim!!! but my husband does do the boys' hair!!!
ReplyDeleteAmen to that! I cut my kids' hair too. Minus one....his is long and well.....I can't do it justice so he goes with Dad.
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly - It's nice to "meet" you. Thanks for your comment on my blog. Cutting hair intimidates me, but thankfully I have a sister who is willing to cut our kids hair for us! Although my hubbie cuts the boys hair... and his own!!
ReplyDeleteI want to be able to do this but am so scared to try!!! My 3.5 year old screams like crazy when he gets his haircut and my hubby buzzes it for me right now, but we take him somewhere in the wintertime for a real cut. And my daughter's... well I don't know where to begin to get it straight! I think you need to do another blog post with directions. ;) ;)
ReplyDeleteHow was your clients????? Did they sit still for the 'barber'? Fun, fun, i know my hubby has always cut the boys hair! We have to pay them in chocolate for sitting still ;0)

You are brave, woman! I cut Ben's hair - it's Ella's that I'm afraid of. She has decided that she wants her hair to grow long, so I think I'm going to try to do it at home. I just cut her bangs myself the other day. I was quite nervous. ;) But you know, we're trying to save money for the best reason of all! ;) DEFINITELY worth it!
ReplyDeleteOh yea...we do this too :)
ReplyDeleteCute cuts!!! Everyone is all smiles on the way to church- love that! (we do this too!)
