Lately...

So I am a slacker.  But it's not just this blog.  It's all my blogs.  My life has become one big whirlwind of activities and some little annoying voice in my head keeps telling me it isn't about to get better.  So, in the likely event of posts being few and far between, I thought I'd let you know what I've been up to. 

Lately...

I've been cooking in a slow cooker ALL the time because my oven has been broken for ten days...and the guy can't make it out until NEXT Friday.

 

 I've been dealing with a teething baby, who is also attempting to crawl.  Lord help us all.

I've been studying Anatomy pretty much non-stop because Professors believe in jamming everything they thought they could get done, but didn't, in the last three weeks of lecture.  

I've been researching and reading reviews on all sorts of breast pumps and finally took the $250 plunge and bought an Avent Isis IQ Duo Pump.  It's magnificent, beautiful, and nearly soundless.  Lovin' it.

What are you doing?

Hair Reveal

Okay, this is going to be a much harder process than I had originally thought.  Apparently my hair is darker/more red than I ever realized, so getting it as blonde as I want it to be - short of bleaching my whole head - is going to take some time.  I also went about an inch longer on the length than I intended too - just to make sure.  At my next appointment, definitely going more blonde and shorter.

BUT

Let's remember the before: boring, blah, drab...

During...So far so good

The huge pile of hair {yes, the stylist thought I was weird for taking a picture}

and FINALLY, the result: {I apologize for the poor picture taking skills of my DH}

 

 

Thanks everyone for holding my hand through chopping off my eight inches of hair!

Want to help?

I have been him-hawing about a conversation I had with my teenage baby-sitter last night.  She was fabulous - so it wasn't a bad conversation.  It had to do with the fact that she and her friends have a very difficult time in Arkansas finding modest formals to wear to their high school and church functions.  Ordering online is a huge expense and it's just not feasible to many of the families here. 

SO...

I offered her my small collection of formals left over from my high school days for her to pick thru and borrow for her nights.  But let's face it, one size does NOT fit all when it comes to dresses.

Then I thought, I wonder if I could enlist the help of some of my faithful blog friends?  Genius.

If you have any formals cluttering up your closet that you are looking to either donate or consign, will you let me know?  All I ask is they are semi in-style.  Let's face it, vintage is back.

I just really feel that every girl should have the opportunity to feel beautiful and modest no matter her circumstances. 

THANK YOU!!!
