L to the T

-


I've been on the look out for a new summer hair style. I like to change things up often.

I'll admit when I first saw LC (from The Hills) sporting the braid - I thought it was ghetto. Alas it has really grown on me and I decided to try it.



Here I am, "LT". Not bad for my first attempt, considering I haven't braided my hair since the 80's. ;)

I'll have to "keep this in the running for Laurie's Next Top Summer Hairdo". {{giggle}}



Drake decided he wanted to get in the action and do his hair. He laid down on the counter and stuck his head in the sink!



I dried him off and helped him a bit. Here's an after shot.

Let's talk hair! What are you considering for your summer look?

So funny because this is totally my summer 'do too! I love it. (But I also thought it was ghetto at first!)

For not braiding since the 80's, you did a pretty dang good job. It's hard to braid your own hair!

So funny! I LOVED LCs braid and I've tried to do it myself, but I can't french braid. Apparently I'm an idiot. Living in Utah, I was also worried about looking polygamist. But I still like it.

Cute hair do! I love LCs style and her hair is just fabulous, so it's yours. I just go darker for the winter and lighter for the summer, it's time for some highlights for me.
Good job braiding!
BTW-Drake is a cutie pie!

I actually like your braid better than hers. You rock it girl.

And your little Drake wanting in on the hair action...too cute. See, who needs a girl?

Funny- I lived in Dallas for EVER (plano and then went to SMU- but I was a poor scholarship girl, haha). and Then met my future husband who lives in Katy, been here for about 4 years.

so what do you like better- keller or Katy- I know keller well too!

Blogging 101 - What Not To Do

Since I just did a post to welcome a bunch of new bloggers, I thought I'd give our newbies some good tried and true: Blogging 101 -What NOT to do! Yes, this is unsolicited advice from yours truly, but I think it's about time someone addresses the issues. #1. Don't get green with envy , Blenvy it's coined, while reading other's blogs. According to CJane , "It usually comes from reading a blog that emphasizes my insecurities." Well said blogger guru. I couldn't agree with you more. Please remember that each post is just a moment of that person's day/week. Instead, just be happy that something amazing happened to your fellow blogger. Be inspired by them! If you really feel the need, use that insecurity to make a change in your own life and do something similar. #2. If people don't update their blog roll by adding your name under 'Friends & Family' don't get your feelings hurt . It's simply a nice gesture, forgotten. Seasoned b...

Craft Closet Make Over

I've finally done it. After 2 years of living in this house, I've finally finished organizing the last closet in my home. This is the guest room closet that doubles as my "craft" closet. You could barely consider it a walk-in closet, but with 2 new shelves my man built for me over the weekend, it's got just enough space for what I need. Closet Before Closet Before - complete chaos ! After - view from hall (I used a different camera because mine is still broken. It was so hard to get these pics the space is so small. I hope you can get the idea.) Small shelf with hanging space for guests clothes - just above the door that goes to the attic. I spray painted 2 of these tins pink and glued flowers onto the other 3. Top Shelf Middle, 2 new shelves that Jason made and I painted white. I added these "curtains" to cover the other white bins and to make the space less messy. I used 2 tension rods and they open up in the middle. I was inspired by this craft room ...

I can't believe it, as of Tuesday, I have been blogging for one year! On the outside not much has changed: I have 3 boys, live in the same house, my man has the same job, and I still go to Mavens, book club, and dinner club with the same fab friends. But in reality a lot has changed: * Davis has braces * Davis is now medicated * Dylan has been diagnosed with ADHD and is now medicated {{a hit to my ego}} * Finished Mommy & Me gymnastics with Drake * Drake is talking a little * Drake is in a big boy bed - although still not sleeping through the night * Jason's going to school to get his MBA * Executive Homemaker which took over a year to design and 5 years as a concept is 15 months old and has 2,333 members and growing at a rate of 300+ new members every month. * Executive Homemaker's online store has grown from three to 26 Mom- prenuers ! * Tip Junkie is 11 months old * My house is a little prettier and more organized * My Dad is divorced * My brother Scott came home...
