To be totally honest, I’ve been having a hard time getting back in the swing of things and catching up since I was sick. I know I keep mentioning being sick but you know when Mama goes down, heaven help us all. The house is still a wreck, I’m still playing catch up instead of being on top of everything which is where I would prefer to be, but with so many obligations and just needing to take down time when I feel tired things haven’t gotten back on track as of yet but this week for sure.
Our weekends have been full of baseball and soccer games, baking, DIY projects and I got a new haircut.
My new hair was so needed. With a ton of responsibilities and active children, the last thing I want to do is be bothered with my hair. With the length it was so easy for me to just throw in a bun for weeks at a time and I was just over here looking a mess. So 7 inches at my longest layer and 10 at the shortest, I now have a little bob that I don’t have to do much with but give it a little fluff in the morning and go. Kind of excited to see what it will look like as a wash and go now that all of my dead and straight damaged ends are gone. I’ll keep y’all updated on that.
Other than that, we’ve been doing what families do, arguing, living, loving, and maintaining.
Come back tomorrow for the recipe
My mudroom closet is officially under construction
What’s been going on in your world?

October 19, 2015 at 10:38 amI am in LOVE with your haircut. You are giving me ideas. LOL!
I know how it can be to try and get some order back after being out due to sickness. I’m still struggling over here as well. But I will say this — I’m not stressing about it. My attitude now is that it’ll get done when it gets done. I can’t say that I sleep well with a dirty kitchen or living just yet, but a door to my laundry room helps me catch some Zs. LOL!

October 19, 2015 at 11:30 amLove the new cut. I am afraid to cut mine for the very reason I can’t pull back in a bun and go.
Mimi
October 21, 2015 at 9:50 amI don’t miss my bun yet but I am sure I will in a few weeks but this will force me to do my hair or buy a lot of hats. One or the other!

October 21, 2015 at 10:07 amThanks Natasha! She went slow cutting and finally I was like just cut it all off! Those busy days are to be enjoyed and cherished for sure but when you are going through them they can be a struggle. We are considering homeschooling for next year so I guess I need to get ready.

October 20, 2015 at 10:52 amLove your hair cut! Glad you’re on the mend. You will be back up and running in no time. Your son is too cute with his braces. Glad you guys are letthing him wear them now as a kid instead of as an adult like me. I wore braces at 30 lol.

October 21, 2015 at 10:09 amMaybe we should’ve waited and he could’ve footed his own bill!

Not much going on around these parts. My son has basketball on the weekends and my daughter is about to get back into ballerina tights. I’m pretty much an unpaid Uber driver! lol
