project: hot mama
You leave the salon looking like Laura Bush: cute, clean, but undeniably mom-like. You throw away the picture of Meg. Fortunately, the new you has no time to dwell on a disappointing haircut. Plus, everyone will say you look great because they all keep picturing you in those last bloated days of pregnancy. Believe them. You do.... click here for the rest of the article
Unfortunately, this is totally my story! When I got married my hair was longer... then I chopped it off all sassy and fun. I tried growing it out, in the attempt to look like a hot mom after Londyn was born. All too soon, I realized that I have ZERO time to put into my hair. Hence, the chopping off... once again. Although, this time... my hair turned out much more "mom"-like. Now, I read this article AFTER I already decided to grow it out... and this time, I MEAN IT. This is my 2nd attempt at "project: hot mama".
BEFORE: once upon a time
AFTER: Laura Bush

wiggles & giggles
- she's getting her diaper changed
- in the bath tub
- eating her bottle
- fighting sleep
- she wants to get out of her car seat
- she's done swinging
- she's not getting attention
- on her play mat
- daddy lifts her up high in the air
- we swing her upside down
- we kiss her ears
- you smile at her
- you talk to her
- her feet are pushed up to her chest
- she wakes up
- bounced on your lap
- holding her hands to sit up and down
- you shimmy her legs, arms and belly
hello, weekend.
