 I got my haircut on Friday (day before pictures) and I love it! The bangs were a little scary but I really really love them. They make me feel very girlie! And I love how they look with my ponytail. I also gave the boys haircuts...not great ones, but free ones. You can see how uneven Squirt's is but Moose's is only really bad in the back. It looks like a bowl cut and then I went a little too close with the trimmers in the back of his neck. Oops. Good first try. I'm so thankful they don't care. I'm also linking up with Sarah Mae ( Like a Warm Cup of Coffee ) for her Frumps to Pumps Challenge. A year ago (or more than that?) she did a getting dressed challenge that I also participated in. I do well most of the time getting dressed. I may not do my make up or hair but my outfit is usually picked out. My why for this challenge is to: complete the look (hair & make-up), think about my husband, and just feel good about myself and my outfit choices (instead of ...

Like a Warm Cup of Coffee's Get Dressed Challenge was definitely good for me. I wasn't dressed by 8am some days but I was dressed for most of the day. Tuesday I changed out of what I was wearing halfway through the day to go for a jog...and then again later that night to work out. Getting dressed around working out was a challenge for me - required sometimes multiple showers. Today I ran into a snag. I ran out of clothes. I own two dresses but it's not warm enough for those. I own zero skirts. One pair of jeans. Two pairs of dress slacks {both maternity}. And very few shirts {that fit or make me feel nice}.   So today I'm again in my jeans but I'm wearing a t-shirt. I think it's allowed because it just happens to be my husband's favorite t-shirt of mine. He thinks I look great in it {and so do I}. Maybe I didn't do my hair most days or even put on eye shadow {as 1/2 my make-up is at my parents' house}. I wear t-shirts, too. But I was dres...

Maybe you have noticed (or not) one of the buttons on my sidebar: Sarah Mae from Like a Warm Cup of Coffee has a lovely blog that you should visit. She is a very insightful Christian woman who just exudes peace and tranquility (at least for me). She has challenged at-home moms (including herself) to get out of those sweats, yoga pants, gym shorts, baggy ol' t-shirts, and whatever other comfy clothes that grace your bodies during the day. Instead, take some time (that morning or the night before) and pick out some actual clothing (she says yes to jeans, no to tees). Whether that be a nice top, a dress, some jeans, khakis - dust off your Sunday best if you feel up to it! Put some make-up on (more than mascara and chapstick - although I need me some chapstick today) and do your hair (or try in my case). I missed out on this challenge yesterday. I did, however, have some jeans on when I visited the grocery store last night. So today, I got up and showered (quickly because Squirt was a...
