We Nailed It!

Mani x 3!

Ah! Summer is winding down and back to school is either here, or just days away. As a mom, I always look back and think to myself "where did the summer go?" and it's that mad rush to prepare for day one of the school year.

With four kids in four different schools, you can imagine the fun we're experiencing in our household...or not! One packed up, delivered to her dorm room, and ready to embark on year two of college; a high school senior; a middle schooler; and one still in elementary school. Trying to squeeze in a little "we" time, besides in the school supply aisle, before the first school bell rings was a priority for me, so off to the Klip Joynt on Racine's northside we went, 3 of us, to go prep our digits for back-to-school.

When you walk in the door at Klip Joynt, instantly you feel a sense of style...a calm charming mix I'd say of Restoration Hardware, Pier One and Pottery Barn. It's such a welcoming, open space that woos you with a calming blend of natural essences.  Almost instantaneously your mind is soothed into "pamper mode" Can you feel it?  Let's go!

Her name is Renee' Chamberlain. Besides being my BFF, she is known regionally as the gal who uses mechanical clippers to cut hair, at the same time, stylist Renee'  also has the reputation of giving amazing manicures, specializing in the forearm to phalanges moisturizing and massage. Can I say, A-MAZING, again?

What could've been several minutes of choosing our back-to-school choice of polish colors, ended up being a pretty quick decision. Myself...earthy, spicy (staying true to the ambiance of the salon). I call it pumpkin pie! My 17 year old, as traditional goes, went with a red hue. And finally, my 12 year old, glammed it up with dark grey sparkles. Spectacular, I'd say!

One by one we rotated into Renee's manicure chair and experienced her mani magic! File; clip; oil; soak; <head tingles, LOL>; nail underside clean; cuticle push; buff; euphoric moisturize and massage; basecoat; polish; top coat; TA DA! Our nails are now reading, writing, and arithmetic ready.

AWESOME Dad

Well, most are! I know your kid's daddy might not be tops in your book, yet, in the eyes of your child, he probably is.

Silly Banned

The Rubber Obsession I think my 6 year old son was the first in his class to be told he can no longer wear his silly bands or Silly Bandz (not sure if they are the real thing, or imitation, who really cares?!) to school.  That was already back on September 2nd, his second day of first grade.  That started it's own trend, the full blown ban of those rubbery. colorful, object-shaped bracelets in his classroom.  Perhaps we'll see the full school ban in the future, or has the fad run it's course? If you're a pair of dad entrepreneurs, you hope not!  They recently jumped on the Silly Bandz craze and brought to market The Original Silly Stand , designed to do what else, but keep those crazy rubber bands organized. In my house, I think we need a Silly Bandz detector. I swear, we must have a over 100, but who even knows where they are (although I dedicated a container for each of my younger silly band wearers).  The funny thing is, my kids aren't wearing them a...
