That picture really does not do it justice, but the tint is quite strong. I don’t know if our pool is causing it or the other pools they frequent, but we need to pull out the good old tomato paste and try to get rid of that tint again…any other great ideas to remedy green hair out there?
How incredible was that? My brother and one of my best friends (unbeknownst to each other) both went up and camped in different parts of Jackson Hole to see it and felt that it was one of the most amazing and even spiritual things they had seen. A couple of my sisters got to see it too…one in Ashton, Idaho in the “path of totality” and one through clouds that worked as good filters in Northern California. I loved seeing all the excitement on social media and loved that so many people posted so much because while everyone rigged up cool glasses to see that amazing thing, Elle and I were stuck in a passport office hours away from home hoping our guts out that we could fix Elle’s passport issue before our flight took off. (We missed that flight by minutes but Dave was able to work his magic to get us all on a later crazy-connection flight but we were so grateful we got to go!) The light was so cool when we came out of that passport office as it happened to be right at the tail end of that grand {partial} eclipse from where we were.
It is one of my very favorite mothering things I’ve done with my children. Being their teacher and learning together is the best. So I just wanted to be sure everyone is aware of that great program and it’s not too late to get going on it!

I’m a little biased, but I think they write some pretty great stuff 😉
Fairy Tales has a swim shampoo that worked for us-I think they sell it at Target. A hairdresser friend told me that if they get their hair wet before swimming it won't turn green-so that's a thought too!
Whenever I'm in the US my hair gets a green tint, too. But it's so easy to get rid of it with Malibu Shampoo (I got mine off of amazon) or a big bottle of ketchup in the shower… 🙂

I know you mentioned previously you were thinking about supplementing/homeschooling so that your kids could get some extra writing help. I know that you've mentioned The Brave Writer (We use her too and she is awesome) but your post made me think of another curriculum. It is called The Good and the Beautiful. It is so wonderful. We love it so much. I share it because they have a really awesome creative writing book that your younger girls would probably love. It is bright and colorful and just so good. It was actually your mention of Taylor Swift that made me think of it. With a name like "The Good and the Beautiful" it obviously focuses on good and beautiful things. (Another stray thought: The language arts is really focused on art as is the handwriting. Your mother would love it!)Back to my main point–the curriculum begins by telling children to look for lighthouse things. Things that bring light and goodness into their life. I have always sought after good things myself (music, literature, movies ect…) but I've noticed lately that even as an adult it helps me to weed out the things that seemed innocent and perhaps once were but aren't lighthouse things. I am not going to judge good old Tay Tay's charactor, or her music skills, nor do I want to offend any major fans. All I can say is her latest stuff feels not so lighthouse like.
Baking soda for green hair! 👌🏻
Light blonde hair in our house too – and years of swim team! We like Kiehl's All-Sport Swimmer's Cleansing Rinse. Link if you need one: http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/kiehls-since-1851-all-sport-swimmers-cleansing-rinse-for-hair-body/2929859
I've been loving seeing all the eclipse posts on social media!
I second The Good and Beautiful. I use it as a supplement to public school for my 6th grade daughter who has some learning disabilities. I use the language arts and history. She loves it too and has made some major academic improvements. I love it:)
Best way I have found to get the green out of hair is just a plain old clarifying shampoo! I use Suave Daily Clarifying, and washes the green right out!
