Chop chop

I was inspired to chop my hair.  (And I use that term loosely, though it certainly felt like chopping).

The inspiration came mostly from my friend Suzi, who I saw last week sporting an adorable new cut that looked perfectly fresh and summer-like and so cute on her.  But I had also come to the realization that I had worn a ponytail for 3 weeks straight.   Probably longer.  And the problem with that?  One, it's boring.  Two, it also probably made me look incredibly lazy (and coupled with my borderline business casual wear, even worse).  And three, I felt like I just had too much hair and was sick of every last strand of it.  So it was time for a change. 

So tonight I got my hair cut!  I think she cut at least 4 inches, maybe more.  It is incredible how a haircut can make such a difference.  I feel lighter, prettier, even relaxed after the amazing shampooing.  I wish someone could wash my hair for me like that everyday.

Anyways, I really like it!  And now I'm all set for summer - IF summer would ever decide to make an appearance around here...
P.S. I hate taking pictures of myself.  Jon already pointed out I'm not really smiling here, but this was the best it was going to get.  :)

    I love it!! I am trying to decide if I should cut mine too, it has rraaly grown out but for the summer it is kinda nice to be able to put it in a pony if I want. Anyways.. love the cut, now bring on Summer!

    You and I are sisters from another mother Lis. As you know I was also lusting after Suzi's adorable hair when we saw her last week, and I ALSO have been wearing my hair up for the past month or so. Mine is worse though, not even a pony tail, the DREADED and oh-so-unprofessional messy bun!

    So I thought Jon was obsessed with your long hair, and would be said if you cut it? You must have told him to shove it? ;)

Day in the Life - Spring 2015

Time for another 'Day in the Life' post! I have only done a few of these over the past couple of years, but decided that this year I'd set out to have one from each season of 2015 to look back on. Probably all because of Carter, because time is flying by and I want to capture as much as I can of this point in our lives. I get such a kick out of reading my winter DITL post when Carter was a wee 6 weeks old. Oh how things have changed, and how I've forgotten! So? Here I am for the Spring edition. Click over to  My Life in Transition  to see the other DITL participants! Saturday, April 11, 2015 Carter is 17 weeks old, just one day shy of 4 months 12:08am | I hear Carter cry and stumble out of bed. It's a good thing we rearranged our room and my side of the bed is now the closest to the door. His eyes are still closed, but he wants his pacifier. I plug it in his mouth and he settles instantly. 1:25am | Ugh, more cries. When do you learn to put the pacifier bac...

Day in the Life - Fall 2015

Day in the Life time again! Participating in  My Life in Transition 's round-up. ------------ Sunday, October 11, 2015 Carter is almost 10 months old. 5:20am | I wake to hearing Carter talk in his crib. A feeling of dread comes over me that we are starting our day now (yesterday, he was up at 4:45am to nurse and refused to go back to sleep), and yet I can't ignore the fact that I just got 7 straight hours of sleep. Fortunately, he quiets back down for another snooze. 5:50am | Carter is up again, this time banging his extra pacifier on the side of the crib. It's a lovely sound at this hour. ;) I stumble out of bed, put on some warm layers and head into his room. Provided it's at a decent hour, like today, it's my most favorite moment of each day. Carter is sooo excited to see me and starts jumping. Diaper change (Olympic-style) and he's off before I can get anything on but a new diaper. Of course, there are tissues and nose bulb syringes to play ...

Annabel - 18 months

Image
Oh what a year and a half it has been with this little lady! And because I'm a sucker for comparisons... My sweet girl. She is the definition of sugar and spice, and I love every ounce of her. Since I haven't really captured much about her lately, here it goes: Annabel is a full-fledged toddler, climbing chairs to reach light switches, running around outdoors, wanting to walk up the stairs with minimal help, ordering us around, refusing to follow the rules, throwing some pretty epic tantrums... my baby is no more. She still loves to carry things in her hands. She will pick up just about anything in sight (remotes, a sock, paper, toys) and carry them around. If she finds another item she wants to grab, she piles everything up in one arm against her chest so she can grab it with the other hand. Then it all spills and she tries again. If you give her a bowl with crackers, she will fit every last cracker in her hand immediately and then nibble at them as she...
