Bee Smart! - Part 2

For "Part 1", click here.

Some parents and grandparents have children at home that are not school age and want to be active with their education and get them off to a great start. That's what I'm trying to do with my granddaughter. I saw these cute DIY letters through oriental trading company and although it would be ideal, I don't need a dozen of them and I can't see paying almost $7/per letter. That can add up. So based on what they have, I used a paint program to mimic what they are selling and printed off my own. By doing this I am hoping it will help those who really care about their child's education.

The Right Hairstyle For Your Face Shape

I can shift gears faster than anyone I know. I can be talking about DIY projects and food one minute and now I need a new hairstyle. With a recent birthday, I just feel the need for a change. I do this twice a year, once in the Spring and once in the Fall. So tomorrow, I believe I'm going to get a new cut and style. I have very short hair, and I love it but it leaves me with very minimal options.

Here is a site that might help you with a new look. It's real simple:

1. Choose your face shape.
2. Filter by the length of your hair.
3. Filter by the elasticity of your hair.
4. Filter by gender.

Don't be surprised if I come back with a pixy hairstyle, it's looking real cute and easy styling for me right now!
