My Mini Mod Makeover // A NEW ‘DO!

You guys! Purging one’s wardrobe creates this weird anomaly of needing to make over one’s self. Well, a frumpy outgrown hairstyle will do that too, I suppose. The combination of the two? Deadly! And dramatic haircut inducing. Alright, so maybe this haircut isn’t too dramatic or spontaneous, considering I have been mulling over the style since I initially chopped off my long locks almost a year ago.

Every month, Phil and I put five dollars into an envelope called “hair care.” Because, of course, we care about our hair! You just wouldn’t know it by our behavior- my aversion to hair salons and preference to creative updos, and his begging me to be the one to cut his curly salt and pepper locks in the middle of our kitchen. So, today I decided to gather up the dollars from our envelope and splurge a little! I think in a month my hair will be exactly how I want it (not that I don’t love it now!). And by that time, we’ll have a little baby girl demanding my attention, turning me into a hair salon recluse once again.

Shop My Closet!

My nesting urges have shifted from cooking up a storm in the kitchen, to reevaluating my entire closet! As you may have guessed, I have lots of clothes, in fact, too many clothes. And not enough of them fit right or will be appropriate for nursing a new kiddo. So I thought I would offer up some of my nicest things to you, so I can make some room and get some funds for new, nursing-friendly garments.

PINTEREST FAVORITES | Treats & Meats

Before I go grocery shopping every week, I check out my recent delicious Pinterest finds and make sure I add their ingredients to my grocery list. Sometimes the end result is shrug-worthy, or drool-worthy but horribly unhealthy, while other times I am heralded as the best wife ever for producing the perfect meal or treat that I can, in good conscience (most of the time), make again and again. Here are my recent favorite recipes I’ve tried, after finding them on Pinterest. Interested in trying out recipes I’ve pinned? Check out my sweet board here, and my savory board here.
