Coloring Your Hair At Home

I have never liked the color of my hair. When I was younger I was told that the color of my hair was “dirty dishwater blonde.” Who wants to be told that their hair is the color of dirty dishwater?

It would require having it professionally done, which cost a lot of money. Within five weeks my dark roots would begin to … Continue reading →

Home Schooling with a Toddler in Tow

Have you ever been teaching algebra and been interrupted by the sound of your toddler riffling through your bookcase?

One of the biggest changes a home schooling family can go through is the addition of a new baby. … Continue reading →

Teaching Your Sunbeam to Attend Class

I’m a bit worn out from my experiences at church yesterday. I have a three-year-old whose idea of going to church includes running around, climbing on tables, and very loudly protesting the idea of being there. He’s just being three, but three-year-olds are old enough to learn proper church behavior. As the parent, you best know your child and can determine what are the proper ways to teach him. During sacrament meeting, we keep him entertained with coloring books and magnets that he can stick on the chairs in front of us. Usually about three-quarters of the way through the … Continue reading →

Correcting a Hair Dye Boo-Boo

Yesterday, the hair coloring bug bit me and I picked up a highlighting kit. The streaks are kind of cute, but I’m not totally in love with them. So that got me thinking of ways to fix things if I’d had a hair disaster! If your color isn’t as light as you’d hoped, you can try the old fashioned hair lightener: lemon juice! Rinse your hair with a little lemon juice and sit in the sun — your hair will gradually get lighter. If your color isn’t as dark as you’d hoped, you can always re-dye it with another, darker … Continue reading →

Prepping for Preschool

The countdown to the new school year is on. Most kids head back to class right after Labor Day; however, the back-to-school prep is already well underway in most households, especially in families that have first time students. The transition from home to school can be a huge challenge for preschoolers. One solution to reduce the anxiety associated with a new environment and schedule is to cover some basic lessons at home. For example, you might introduce a “letter of the day” lesson leading up to the start of school. Repetition plays a big role in a preschooler’s world, so … Continue reading →

Summer Science

My 7-year-old daughter channels Bill Nye the Science Guy on a daily basis. I don’t blame her; growing up, I constantly tried to recreate Mr. Wizard’s experiments in our garage, much to my mother’s chagrin. Since school left out for the summer my mad scientist has stirred up a bunch of weird-looking concoctions from various benign ingredients she found around the kitchen. However, last week she actually got to experiment with real science projects thanks to our “friends” who help staff a Parks and Rec summer program. If you are looking to prevent brain drain this summer consider the following … Continue reading →
