We had beautiful weather Saturday (it actually felt like a warm summer day) and it was a great day to celebrate our littlest man.


Waking up in the morning to open his present from Zachary.

Hard to see but this was a wall decoartion with a picture of Elliott from every month.  Interesting to see how much he changed over the year.

To Cut or Not Too Cut....

This is my hair ...


IMG_3503


after a summer of neglect its proably the longest (and blondest) it has been in a long time, maybe ever.


September is bringing a lot of change to my life.  I am heading back to work after being at home for a year.  I will turn 30. It feels like after many years of sporting the same hair style that maybe my hair should change too. 


I have a love-hate relationship with my hair.  I love my hair. When I have the time I love to style my hair. I actually think its one of my best features, however, it hardly ever looks like this.  I really wear it up in a ponytail 90% of the time. I play sports. I have two small children. A ponytail is easy. I hate always wearing a ponytail.


This is the cut I want.

I have a hair appointment booked for Friday.  Do I go for it or not?


Happy Tuesday!

What I have been thinking about...

Lately I have had so much floating around in my brain, so much I want to blog about, that its taking me awhile to digest it all so I haven't blogged about any of it yet.


Things on my mind...



  • Elliott turning 1

  • My 30th Birthday (which is obly a few weeks away)

  • Heading back to work after a year of maternity leave ( I start next week!)

  • a creative home decor project that I finished for the house lately

  • a big personal change that I am not quite sure how I feel about yet and might be ready to blog about soon.


I know this is just a little teaser but stay tuned I promise to blog about all these things very soon.


Happy Sunny Sunday!
