Today we want to show you one of our easiest, most versatile hair styles. We call this a wraparound braid because it's a French braid that we wrap around the head instead of going down the middle.

Singing and Grace
I woke up this morning with this song going through my head... I can go directly to my Lord in prayer. He has told me I may boldly enter there, And He listens as His promises I plead. I find grace to help and strength for every need. I grew up in a family …
Library Time Week 11
I finally finished Nicholas Nickleby. I had first watched it on Netflix which piqued my interest to read the book. It took me over two weeks. Dickens never seems to be short on words. I wonder if he ever had writer's block. ☺ While we're still on Dickens I have to say that the movie …
