THERAPY
It’s been two weeks and I still don’t like my hair. It’s not growing on me. Although hopefully it is growing. I’m ok though. I happen to know this isn’t all about my hair. And keeping my hair this color is a little bit of therapy. I mean there’s no question this is much-needed therapy [...]

THIS IS NOT ME
This used to be me, a few short days ago, but it’s not me anymore. Let me explain. I didn’t start out my weekend planning on different hair. Well, not much different, at least. I won’t bore you with the details of how I colored my own hair on Thursday night, wanting to go back to my slightly darker look from this fall, and how [...]
BEFORE MY VERY EYES
Sometimes it takes a little coaxing to get R-girl to come over to the other side of the camera. She kind of prefers this angle. But this weekend I resorted to stalking. And begging. Because seriously. The girl seemed to age about five years this week. First she went and got bangs. (I heart them [...]
NEW
Today was a day I was kind of hoping wouldn’t come, for reasons that have nothing to do with the new number attached to my age. It’s just been about The Hardest Year Ever, and this date… Well. I just was wishing we could skip it. We couldn’t, of course. But thanks to the beautiful, [...]

IT’S GETTING DARK IN HERE
It’s been a great weekend, and it’s only Saturday night. Not sure what could be better than that.

Our still-not-long-enough retreat wrapped up around noon today, leaving me with five [...]
WALKING IT OUT
I have been following this series of maternity photos for some time and I am completely intrigued. First of all, I’m mesmerized by all the absolutely killer maternity outfits. (How the heck does she pull that off?!) But mostly there’s something about just watching this woman walk down her street, a little further each week, [...]
HEEL, GIRLS
Today has been a hard one. Trying not to stuff things when they rise, and wow are they rising today. So you’ll have to trust me when I say I’m tending to this pain in my stomach that wraps all the way around to my lower back like something is trying to squeeze the life [...]
FRIDAY NIGHT FIELD TRIP
Went to IKEA and MOA with R-Kids tonight for a little car time (where all the best talks happen) and some browsing therapy. We all came home happy and only a few dollars poorer. R-Boy: Finally bought himself a yo-yo that will actually sleep, roll over and do tricks. R-Girl: Found the perfect elephant pendant [...]
