I have no experience with doing my Ethiopian kids’ hair. Noah has great hair and by great I mean easy–it is loose curls and soft hair. I haven’t had to style it much other than putting in hair milk daily. His hair is certainly long enough for braids but I have resisted because he already gets [...]
Dearest Zoë,
Yesterday you turned one. I know you are now a whole number instead of parts of a month. Of course for the coming year, your age will be marked in months. Who am i kidding. Your age will be marked in months until I decide to stop writing these letters to you. I could sadly [...]
Well, it’s that time of year again. NaBloPoMo. I know, you are thinking…don’t you have enough crap going on in your life Dawn. Do you really need to torture yourself by posting every day.

Dear Zoë,
You are now 10-months-old. I can hardly believe how much you have changed and how each day you grow more and more. You are now crawling. I know. I can’t believe it. It is not a graceful girlie crawl. No you are doing a full on military army commando crawl and it is hilarious. [...]
First we’ll start with the weigh in. I must absolutely recommend adding more children to help with weight loss. I am really hard pressed to find time to eat and to prepare food. I know this isn’t ideal, but I have been lucky enough to prepare leftovers of healthy food to be eaten. I have [...]
