Because It’s All About The Hair.
NikkiZ has been INSANE about her hair lately. This weekend she really wanted to wear it in a side-ponytail with a clip. BUT – her hair is so fine it wouldn’t stay in. So, I offered to do the side-braid pictured above. After I did it she put her hand back on the braid and was all, Mooommm…this is NOT how I wanted it to be! I didn’t want it all to be in a braid! I wanted a side ponytail! I tried to explain to her that it was in a side ponytail. She was SOOOO... Read More
Starting The Week Off Nice And Easy

I want one of my own. Seriously. BEST PILLOW EVER. They’re fuzzy and soft and…LOVELY. So,... Read More

Paint Night
Look what we did! We went to a date night painting class on Monday at Spirited Art, which I’ve done several times by myself, but this was the first time Donnie had ever painted here. He had such a good time. We both did. It was maybe one of the most fun dates we’ve ever had. It was funny, though, seeing how the other couples handled the whole “joint painting” project. Some couples took turns painting on each others canvas to make sure the styles and the... Read More
