Week of June 21st-27th

Dare: Fix your hair.

Maybe I'm crazy, maybe you all do this at least once a week. But I don't. I have really thick, decently long hair, and straightening it takes awhile. But this week, I'm going to do it. And even better, for no reason. No reason other than to feel good! It doesn't help that my husband is deployed to Afghanistan, and I don't feel a huge need to impress my son with my stunning looks, but I know it will make me feel better. Happy Hair Fixing!

Welcome!

As a mom (or nanny, as I was for years, and helped me get into this position), have you ever truly counted the # of sweatpants you own? I did- you guessed it, 53. Nuts. I am nuts. Truth is, it's a rare day that I ever get out of them. I've always wanted to be one of those moms who gets up every morning, straightens her hair, puts on a trendy outfit, and skips along to playdates. Truth is, after feeding, burping, changing, cereal, blah, blah, blah- I never feel like getting out of them. Well, this blog may help those out there who are feeling the same way. Each week, I will propose a challenge. Something out of the norm to push you out of your comfort zone. Hopefully you can find this inspiring.
