I had a mini spa day with my older girls the other day.
We had facials and painted our nails. Nothing out-of-this-world exciting, but we had a ton of fun just hanging out. My son refused to take part in the nail painting and girly facials so he took our photo instead. He did a great job!
My 8-year old daughter, Amaya, did a pretty good job of painting her own nails.
She loves red nail polish just as much as I do!
My 2-year old daughter, Lana, even got in on the fun when her older sister painted her toe nails.
She’s partial to pink. What a girly-girl!
Speaking of girly-girls…
My niece, Star, is a beast on the football field.
But girly at heart.
She’s sweet, silly, animated, beautiful and kind. And today just happens to be her birthday.
Happy birthday, Star! I love and miss you so much.

I have one girly girl with whom I can do all of the fun spa day things and another girl who shares my sense of humor and love of basketball. It’s the best of both worlds!

Trust me, I was freaking out about the nail polish too. She was being so careful though and got teary eyed when I suggested that she move into the bathroom to paint her nails on the tile floor instead.
Thankfully, we did not have a nail polish accident. lol
Can’t wait to have fun like this with my little girl! I may have to wait a bit since she is only 8 months old!

How fun!!! You and your girls are so gorgeous! Your beauty shines through the mud mask!
You gave much a great idea for my advent calendar this year! My girls LOVE girlie days of painting toes and all that glitters. I think I’ll add a homemade Christmas spa day into the mix of Christmas activities. We’ll do a seaweed mud mask for green and paint our toes red and maybe add some glitter to our hair and some makeup too.
My girls would LOVE that! Thanks for the idea, mama!
I snapped some really great shots at a farm the other day and wanted to share them for your autumn challenge, but I’m not sure I will have time to post them and link up, but I will try! There were some good ones, which were inspired by your beautiful horse and barn shots, of course.
I just read this comment through. Sorry if I sound like such a suck-up. lol
I mean every word though! xox <—Me kissing up some more.

It may not sound fun and exciting to some but for me, it is a great way to bond with your family or friends. Its really cool for your son to join you girls by taking your pictures. Others might have just walked away.
