Julia took off 

leaving Brian and Belle

 

 

I herd this song not too long ago and tear up every time i listen to it. it reminds me of these two.

feb mini session!

;kj

excited to announce a new mini session 

I am hosting!!!

library

In certain areas of motherhood I feel like I am really strict.

  limited TV times, NO juice except during meals, bed time is 8:30 sharp! and unless you are puking, running a high temp or literally about to die you will be going to school.

well Friday all my girls had doctor check ups and it had snowed overnight so the school was on a two hour delay. I felt like I could be a little flexible one this one day. I let Julia play hooky and we all took a trip to the library.

I plan on making these kind of videos all the time they are so fun and really pushing me in the creative department.

Bangs

 I spent A LOT of my weekends at my aunt Angel's beauty salon when I was a teenager. 

I would babysit for her and she would pay me in hair cuts, dyes, styles, tanning, nails, waxing whatever I wanted.

 I thought it was a cool trade off.

 to be young and without bills o the good old days :)

anyway I have not really been to scared of change when it came to my hair.

I have been blonde, red, black, purple

long, short, perm

 I feel like it's more of a boredom thing than a fashion statement thing.

 and that boredom has been striking me again!

I am trying to grow my hair out to donate it to locks of love. just something on my bucket list that hasn't been checked off and I am determined to do it this time!

but that means no dyeing or cutting short

boring!!!!

then I saw a new style I have never tried........

I did them myself and its not really perfect. and if you have been reading my blog for a while you know when I decide to do something myself it usually doesn't go 100%  great.

 but it's just hair.

I pin them back about 90% of the time.

I think I just am not totally used to it yet

my husband likes them

which is funny to me for reasons I will keep private so not to embarrass him lol

I think I am now at the point where I can donate my hair BUT I have already picked out the style that I want my hair to be after the donation and it calls for longer bangs so I am have to wait a little longer......

but trust me once I finally do it 

It will be a HUGE change!  I am excited!

Twinkie

let me introduce you to the newest addition to our family, 

No! not a new baby, yet anyways :)

it's our new pet hamster named Twinkie

 We got her as a Christmas present from Santa

the pet store elves told us Twinkie was a teddy bear hamster.

meaning it looked like a teddy bear

to me it looks like a rat!

i just can't bring myself to hold her or pet her.

she kind of freaks me out!

so much so that when Julia accidentally let her loose and she trapped herself in our couch I had a panic attack!
I made Brian get up (it was 7 am on a Sunday) and carefully take apart the lining in the bottom of the couch and free Twinkie the lock her back up into the cage.

Now Julia is only allowed to hold Twinkie when her daddy is around to supervise. just until I somehow can get over this fear and think of her as a "teddy bear"
