Hairy situation (multi-racial hair)

Ok, most of you already know that I am multi-racial. Puerto Rican, Caucasian, and African American. So needless to say I have mixed hair. My daughter has also inherited the mixed hair as well. Our hair is curly, wavy, and straight all in one...lol but mainly curly. It is hard to manage and I get frustrated easily with both of our hair.

Growing up unfortunately in the 80's..it was hard to learn how to take care of mixed hair. Observe...
Yikes (and not just to the clothes)!..lol....I do not want this for my daughter and with the knowledge out there now really no excuse.


When I have the patience and dedication our hair looks great and I have learn several tricks of moisturizing and maintaining our curls but sometimes come to a lose for hair styles. I get tired of ponytails and just curls all over sometimes. Luckily my hair straightens fairly well with my straightener but my daughter's not so much but heat is not good for our type of hair anyway.

With the kids starting school soon I would like to have some cute hairstyles for her that are fairly simple so she does not have to go to school with the same styles every day. So I will be practicing some styles the next couple of weeks to see what we can come up with.

We woke up this morning to such cool weather! As I went to let the dog out this morning I actually felt a chill. It was so nice! I had to stand out there and just feel the breeze and smell the air. Having had over 100 degree temperatures since April it is so nice to have a glimpse of fall weather. At noon today the temp in the car read 67 degrees! Love it! Fall is my favorite season. It may because my birthday is in the fall, or the changing of the leaves, the crispness of the air, the holidays and family and friends, football season, and oh so many more things that I absolutely adore. Technically we still have 3 weeks but I am going to take advantage of the weather and start some of my annual fall activities. Today we will be baking homemade granola bars and making homemade play dough in fall colors. I bake A LOT in the fall so local friends be ready for lots of goodies. My famous Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies, homemade caramel popcorn, and much more...lol. Do not be surprised...

Welcome!

Hello All and Welcome to All Things: Kendrick Family.  I am Sharon and married to my best friend Kevin. We have two kiddos: our son, Keonte, 10 (soon to be 11) and our daughter Cheyanne, 7. So our house is hardly ever dull. I enjoy reading blogs and have been tempted for a couple of years to attempt a blog of my own. A few friends have inspired me to try and well, here we are. I thought of many different topics and subjects to blog about but could not decide on one in particular. We are a non-denominational Christian family with multi racial backgrounds and we have been a homeschooling family for over 7 years but this year we are going to attempt public school. That in itself could be a blog...lol. I am currently undergoing a fitness journey to lose weight and become fit. We are a military family and recently moved to Texas from Las Vegas. I am currently going back to college for myself in an attempt to finish my degree. I enjoy couponing "realistically" not "extreme...
