Half French Braid and a ?

Ok — so look at the picture … what do you see?Half French Braids and a ? (1)

Well — I want your honest & true opinion … is this a hairdo with half french braids and then an uh … m … m …. m.u.l.l.e.t?? Ok, there, I said the the dreaded ‘m’ word. I thought I’d never have that word on my blog unless it was poking fun at some picture from the 80’s … but here it is … a hairdo with a possible mullet on my little Bug. ….. I think.?!

Instead of doing a wrap around crown half french braid like this old post, I thought I’d do one from each side of her head one day. I figured I’d go a bit further than just past her ears so you could actually tell it was more than a regular braid, and then just pull it back and anchor it off to the side. Which is what I did. I curled it and everything looked pretty …. UNTIL …. later on in the day I happened to look at her from a certain angle and with a silent gasp to myself I shuttered and thought, “oh my gosh, I gave my daughter a mullet today.” I mentioned it to a couple people and they tried to assure me it wasn’t (probably because they just didn’t want to hurt my feelings!)

So I’m asking for your honest opinion — I don’t know most of you from Adam – so leave me your thoughts – you can even do it anonymously! … did Bug sport a mullet with this do? Do you think it looks like it or not?!

If you do like this one …. watch the video if you need a refresher on how to do the half french braid. I did a zig zag part on top first and then started the braiding. Once you’ve gone a bit past each ear, continue just with a regular braid to the end of the hair. Then secure the 2 braids in the back wherever you’d like. That’s it – not too hard. The lovely flower in these pictures is from Flowerz In Her Hair — and I’m sorry, maybe she’d rather I not mention her wonderful site on this possible mullet hairdo! But it may be the only good part to the hairdo, so I thought I should give her credit!

I wasn’t going to post this hairdo, but the pictures have been torturing me to know what others might think if they saw this on a little girl. I think it was pretty … but at the same time …. well — the whole M factor! So … let me know if you like it or if you’d do this on your little pretty head of hair?! 🙂Half French Braids and a ? (2)

I don’t know — can you even see what I’m talking about?! It’s like maybe I braided too far past each ear and so there is just a bit of hair hanging down in the middle to make it seem mullet-ish!? Or am I just loosing it?!Half French Braids and a ? (3)

Half French Braids and a ? (4)I’m really counting on you to give your honest opinion! I can take it!

    I don’t think it’s a mullet. It just looks like 2 braids into a low ponytail. I do this in my hair all the time!

Let's just pretend it's a week ago and this just h Let's just pretend it's a week ago and this just happened! 😉😉 For Halloween McKayla and her friends decided to be the characters from the movie "Inside Out" and she was Joy.  She's been so busy and hardly home, so the night before we scrambled and in 5 hours we made her entire costume, dress and hair. Her dress was out of 3 t-shirts (thanks @beccabeachofficial for your fab tutorial btw) and we managed to find a blue wig but it required a bit of a haircut! 💇 yikes! It all came together fabulously in the end, right down to her blue eyebrows! I'm pretty sure "joy" is a synonym for McKayla, so it was a perfect fit!

It's General Conference weekend for The Church of It's General Conference weekend for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.... One of my favorite weekends where we are able to listen to our living prophet and other wonderful church leaders give inspired messages about the gospel of Jesus Christ. McKayla and other girls and young women from our area have been invited to sing in the choir for the general women's session tonight. I invite you to watch any or all of the sessions on churchofjesuschrist.org... And maybe keep your eyes out for McKayla tonight in the choir at 6pm MST. She'll be on the top back row of the very far right section!
