Between the hot humid summers in Florida, and the adorable little grabby hands of my two toddlers, I have been wearing my hair up almost every day. Most of the time, you’ll catch me wearing at least one little braid to make a simple pony tail a little more fun. I also love to braid my little girl Lyla’s hair. Here is a little bit of inspiration for some stylish
