Bows..Bows..BOWS!!

It's no secret with my family and friends, I'm CRAZY about bows!
When I first started this blog nearly 4-years ago I even wrote this post about my love of them while growing up.
So, when I found out we were having a girl I knew she would be born a BOWHEAD!

Good for me is that my Mom is talented and can make beautiful bows that you pay big money for in the stores.
She made all of mine growing up and now she's back in business.
While she was visiting this past week, I put her to work!!
We went out in search of grosgrain ribbon and I was shocked at how picked over most of the stores here in town were/are!
And, most of the headbands to put them on?
Sold out.
Seriously, I went to 4 or 5 stores.
The only thing I can figure is that everyone is making bows?
 It has taken Brad a while to get use to the 'bow' thing.
Of course, it's taking him a while to get use to all things girly because he grew up with a brother and it was all about sports.
Of course we're not opposed to Miss Shelby playing sports.
As I tell Brad, she can do anything she wants to do whether it's take ballet, play soccer, volleyball, or play piano.
But, for right now there's one thing that is for sure.
She's a bowhead.
Just like her Mommy was!!
(this was the day I got my braces off hence why I'm in front of the orthodontist sign)
How about you?
Bowhead or not?
Of course, I know it's not every one's thing.

Hair Bows..those were the days..


Ok – so this is a cheesy post but I got to thinking about my days as a real, serious‘bow head’, after seeing a post on another blog this last week talking about hair bows.

Remember those days back in the 80’s and early 90’s when junior high and high school girls wore bows? Maybe it was just in Louisiana where girls did that?? My Mom made a lot of mine and I swear at one point I think I had one for every outfit!

I don’t think junior and senior high girls do that anymore? I think there more about looking like Britney Spears or Paris Hilton. Times change…maybe bows will make a comeback for that age group?

Well, for all of you who were a bow head like me at one time – here’s a few pictures too reflect on those days! Yes, I even wore them my first year of college! YIKES!

Happy Tuesday – day 3 of the soup diet and 2days until Tahoe!

Me and my brother - 10th grade

9th grade..

Yes, freshman year of college. They got retired pretty quickly during this year..
