Wigs For Kids

Today my Little Brownie got a haircut. We struggle daily over the rats nest that her hair becomes when she forgets to brush it many times a day. I have had to keep her hair in a braid to save my sanity, and I feel cruel when I have to threaten her to get her to let me brush it. She has wanted to cut it short for a while, so I told her as soon as it was at least an extra 12" we could take her to donate it to Wigs for Kids. She was thrilled with this idea and fascinated that it would go to help a child that lost their hair from chemo or many other health problems. She was very happy to wait for the length and Spring to arrive, but asks me to measure it occasionally.

So with today being the first day of our Spring Break we went to the local beauty college and took the plunge! The students there doted on my little brownie and made sure she felt special! Apparently there aren't many people that do this at this particular location, so it was a new experience for this student - she even got an extra grade!

I printed the card before I went because I am a picture hound (mad scrapbooker). We are both thrilled with the new look and my little brownie loves not having to deal with the snarly hair.

Wouldn't it be cool if the program sent a picture of the finished wig?

There was a part at the bottom of the form they gave me to fill out that if the donor was a Girl Scout you could get a patch for an extra $3. I had already ordered the patch that morning (shown above) from Advantage Emblem for $1.69 because with their March Madness sale I got free shipping.

So we are taking a much needed break from (most) things. I am trying to catch up on adult stuff and getting the house spring cleaned as well as resting up for the big cookie drop and sort and deliver madness!

Until next time!
