Baby Bangs

Our Internet continues to be a drag and so my blogging has continued to be limited. However, my phone surfing has NOT and last night I came across something that made me gasp out loud in glee and understanding. You may already be familiar with Beth Moore, the author of about a gajillion Bible studies for women. Well, she has two daughters, Amanda and Melissa, who are right about my age (give or take...they're both a smidge younger) Last night, I checked in on Beth's blog for the first time in quite awhile (the renewed interest is due to the fact that I'm doing her study of James right now at church) and discovered a link to Amanda's family blog entitled "Baby Bangs."

"What on earth are 'Baby Bangs?'" wondered me. Well, Amanda was good enough to anticipate my question and issue an explanation on her blog and her answer made me cackle out loud. Baby Bangs are those little hairs you get at your hairline after the postpartum mass exodus of hair has concluded and the regrowth of new hair is in full swing. The reason I laughed was that my jaunt onto Amanda's blog was a little side trip from my main focus which was scouring Pinterest for pictures of hair-dos in anticipation of today's hair appointment, the EXPRESS PURPOSE of which is to deal with the very issue of these 11 month postpartum baby bangs. Well, that and roots. Oh, the roots...

So, this morning I took a picture of my baby bangs in the hope of sharing it with Amanda. I searched her blog and couldn't find a way to send her a private message, so I'm writing this blog post and linking it. :-) Now, I am either the BEST or WORST candidate to share a pic of my Baby Bangs because I kind of always had them anyway. My hair is mercilessly baby fine and I've always had obnoxious baby hairs at the edges of my bangs which I despise. That either makes my Baby Bangs BETTER because they are more epic or WORSE because they are less authentic since they would have been there to some degree anyway. Knowing the good Lord, I doubt the timing of all of this was random. I'm sure He has a purpose for this timely encounter, if only to being a smile to my face and perhaps hers. So, without further ado, I present REAL LIFE BABY BANGS!!!
