donuts and curls....

we made donuts with brownie mix.
do you have one of those 20 dollar donut makers from target?
we got one a few months ago and have been using it to make "donuts" out of pre made mixes.
we took joy's advise and made them from muffin mix(substituting out the oil for apple sauce).
and then for dessert we tried brownie mix and then rolling them in powdered sugar.
so good! 
and super fun!







also, have you ever tried rag rollers?
it worked really well on ella's SUPER straight fine hair.
it's just strips of fabric rolled up over your fingers and tied in a knot and left in all night.


look how cute it turned out!

  8. My mom used to do those knot curls in mine and my sister's hair before picture day at school. That was the only time my hair held a curl super well when I was younger.
