Ashley Judd’s Thrifty Eco-Friendly Clothing Line

Thrifty and Adorable Hair Clips

 
My daughter has really thin and fine hair (got it from me) and I have a hard time keeping any hair barrettes in her hair.  About the only thing I have had any luck with are those little stretchable hair bows and even then, I can usually only fix her hair a few different ways without it […]
