Can you guess what this represents? reveal

Written on 04/21/2012 by Dreawood in random

If you have an idea of what this is, comment with your guess :)

Hint: So some of you have gotten it ;-) – although I sense a lack of confidence.

Let me say, that each item, although in some cases, there is more than 1 item, for example a stack of books or bundle of crayons :) – but each item, represents ONE OF US…. look carefully… and to those who may not know our children 100% – do know that Owen does not take a pacifier :)

Reveal:
Alright peeps :) If you haven’t guessed it. We are in fact expecting.

This photo represents 1 thing for the each member of our family.

1) Travis and his books/bible…
2) Me and my Camera :)
3) Caleb and his crayons (he loves to draw/color)
4) Taite and his leapster (so into games right now)
5) Owen and his Thomas Train
and…

6) A pacifier, just an item to represent who is to come :)

Now to read about how, why, what, huh? all the in betweens READ THIS.

Layers

Written on 04/13/2012 by Dreawood in beauty, friends, random

Not to long ago I posted on facebook about my thinking about cutting my hair again. Some of you may remember the horrible hair cut I got years ago when I was pregnant with Owen.

Should I remind you? :)

Ok, sure, why not. I have posted this same exact thing a while ago – but for those who are new to the blog you may have missed it. Those who aren’t new, will enjoy the laughs at my misfortune :) – and possibly cringe at the image of what I looked like at one point.

I went in to get my bangs trimmed years ago.

This was the result…

When I got home and saw it (some how I didnt notice when I left the salon) – I knew I had to get it fixed – so I went to another local salon and then I came home looking like this…

Can I just say, that photo brings me nightmares :)
It really is a cross between Jim Carey’s Dumb and Dumber hair cut and a Chinese Bowl Cut.

As soon as Travis saw it, he said “go back.” I had no clue what to do except to just chop it all off.

The result.
No hair :)

But honestly, it wasnt so bad – it could of been worse. I could of had the hair cut above that one. Compared to what it was, going to a pixie cut was ok :) – although the timing wasn’t ideal. With my being pregnant with Owen, having major breakouts with the hormones flushing my system – I would of preferred to have some hair.

So after all that drama I vowed to “1″ – cut my own bangs! and “2″ grow out my hair for years… Although I did have a friend in NC who cut my hair a few times after the “bad cuts” – and she always did a great job trimming things up.

Now that it is long – I have to say it is a lot to deal with. With summer approaching and the heat coming – the idea of a short cut is so appealing.

I felt that my hair had gotten to such a length that it didn’t really flatter my face… so I opted to get some short layers put in yesterday and so far I love them.

Got layers in my hair. Thanks Charlene!!

So here is to making small changes :)

My friend btw cut the layers :) – she came to my house and did them, while we chit chatted and laughed. So much fun. I btw love my hair being played with. If someone wants to make my day, play with my hair for an hour. It is such a great feeling!

What are ways you keep from getting bored with your hair? Are you an impulse hair cutter? :)

Windy, Bake, Pin

Written on 02/11/2012 by Dreawood in random

Today is very cold! For us any way :) – its been an unseasonably warm winter here in GA… causing things to bloom early and peoples sinus’ to go hay wire. However, I love the warm spells, with just a hint of winter :) – its perfect weather.

Today its around 35-37F -with very strong winds. Because we live on a huge hill, we get hit pretty heavy with it. So much so that the house rattles and anything sitting remotely close to a window gets chilled.

The day however has been spent baking in a warm kitchen. Preparing organic whole grain cinnamon rolls for our sunday school class tomorrow. A few cuddles on the sofa watching a movie with the boys. Preps for dinner guest tonight. Tidying up & now after this, folding a pile of laundry while the kids nap.

Cold day.

Windy.

One not spent outside :)

.. yet very productive.

Hope everyone else has a great weekend and stays warm!

& to end… a few favorite Pins I’ve found lately. May inspire ;-)
