I need a nap. I didn't sleep well and S was a butt this morning. M has dance today. And I need to clean up from the weekend.

I had to do some work on our rental and now I smell like her awful air freshener. I will never understand how people live with those smells.

Hi! We are having a fun Monday. Thinking about trying out an open gym for littles this afternoon of it works out with naptime. I think dd will really like it. She loves the park but it’s been too cold lately so I hope this is a fun alternative. Happy week to all!

Dance class was stressful today. M was behaving badly, copying another kid, and she wasn't the only one. It was chaos. But, I did get her down for a nap sort of on time, because I have her half a sandwich before we left and the other half in the car on the way home.

I need hair help. I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am no longer blonde. I used to be. I should have known this was coming. My mom was blonde when she was younger and now is decidedly not. I am stuck in not brown not blonde limbo and I am also in the process of growing out my pixie (or just really late on a haircut) and I am over weight and just really hating how I look. So haaallllppp. Open to literally any ideas, although Mohawk might be a lot of upkeep. My hair is thin and fine and straight, so there's that. I know I could ask my stylist, but I don't have one at the moment and I feel like I need to go with some thoughts to whoever I start a new relatjinship with. ETA pics   Actually it's not usually quite this lank I need a shower after a long day but it's not a whole lot better when fresh. 😬😳😳 |

Also I think I look really cute with a hat on right now but I can't wear a hat 24/7, although I have been trying 😬

kcrkcs your hair is such a pretty color! I wish I could pull off that color!. I think a side swept bang would be really cute but I feel like you are a few inches away from that being an easy thing. I get side swept bangs and feel like they are really flattering and no work. I’m not sure how easy your hair “trains” or stays in place but a long bang can be really cute and low upkeep. I don’t do anything to mine. Literally dries overnight and I brush it.

kcrkcs You have my natural hair colour. I mostly dye it, usually I go darker. As for style I have nothing. Every time I get a short "low-maintenance" cut, I hate it until it grows out enough that I can put it in a ponytail.

kcrkcs, it might take some time to grow out, but what about a sort of lob with longer bangs? I feel like that can be flattering and also low maintenance, which is always what I'm looking for. In terms of color, I think you could just give it some dimension by adding some really subtle highlights - maybe blonde for the summer, and darker or even reddish for the fall.

So there's this quote that I see sometimes that says "We are the granddaughters of all the witches you failed to burn" or something like that, and it makes me laugh every time because I'm actually a descendant of Mary Hood, who was hanged as a witch during the Salem witch trials. I only learned this when I was looking for baby names for M, looking through family history books

The kids are sick AGAIN. I'm dying. Dds 1+2 spiked 104° fevers out of nowhere yesterday. Took them to the pedi and she said it's viral, so we can only treat the symptoms.

kcrkcs I’d totally do a lob of sorts. It might take some time, but if you got the back trimmed up and grew out the front it could really cute.

kcrkcs definitely some highlights and some layers to shape it up and then I think maintenance would be easy. I like the pictures dizzycooks posted. Super cute!  You look great girl. Cut yourself some slack.

crimsonandclover I hope those peanuts get better fast! Movies and snuggles for all!! Thanks for the hair thoughts ladies I like that second picture. Theoretically i like bangs but because my hair is fine and I am in a helmet most of the day they just look stringy and ick.

Work is so busy and I'm filling in hours at night after the kids go to bed a lot. I'm headed to Chicago for a quick over night next week. I'm not sure how I'll sustain this new pace since my coworker retired at the end of last year. But at the same time I don't want my leadership to replace her. It's a catch 22.  I'm distracting myself by planning our summer vacation. I've been wanting to take the kids some place new - though DS still wants to go somewhere he can snorkel. But flights are so difficult from where we live and do not want to do midnight flights or long connections with a 2 year old. |

My mom made my sister and I recipe/scrap books for or birthdays. She's been collecting recipes from family and friends that are basically family since Christmas. She even got some from our MILs. There are a couple that she put copies of marching diary entries in with, from our great grandmothers, one to go with a donut recipe and one with the sugar cookies I make. They're beautiful and she has the pages in this plastic sleeves so they'll last longer. Now I need a bigger kitchen so I actually have room to bake 😂

kcrkcs - what does your hair look like now when you comb it more forward in the front? Can you part it on the side and do a long side swept bang? Maybe like this?  Then grow out to this?  And if you want to grow longer something like this? I have kind thin, lanky hair too and a little bit of layers really helps. If you wanted to go a little blonder so you feel more “you” then a color like this would be a nice low maintenance option too. Find someone in your area that does balayage.

tinydancer - our new couch looks like this:  We ordered form a place that makes custom sofas locally, so it won’t be ready for another 4 weeks or so. We actually really like the couch we have now, but it’s just a bit too big for the space we want it in. This new one is about 10 inches shorter and 6 inches more narrow.

Thanks! I think it will really improve the feel of the room. I’m just hoping the girls don’t pull the buttons off the back immediately. 😬 |

My sister asked all of her bridal party tonight. She made littlebbkxes and cards that made us all cry. Thankfully she asked her best friend to be MOH and not me, I don't handle speeches and stuff well. She has a couple of ideas to ask the kids too.

Oh ick @nellieolson people swear by thieves cleaner, but you’d need a young living person to order for you. Maybe straight up dry cleaning solution for carpet? I got some at a local hardware store called “capture” it seems to work well.
