Hair Crisis

Riesling's hair is getting so long.  There is this annoying section in the front that is always falling in her eyes.  She refuses (and pretty much has since birth) to wear headbands, barrettes, bows, or hair accessories of any kind.  The eye hair situation was getting so bad that Jim even commented on it.  Finally today with our powers combined we convinced her to wear a little ponytail (like Mommy's).  If only I could now convince her to keep some clothes on.....

My hair has finally gotten really long which means I'm ready to cut it off. Always happens. I just don't take the time to care for it. I'm debating though. Do I do it now or wait until after the baby is born and I start shedding like a dog?  I have 2 weeks before my appointment to decide.  eek!

I have recently inherited a lot of seasonal items from my mother's stash. I nw have some nice serving platters and dishes for the holidays. Do you stow it away in the kitchen or pack it away with the rest of your seasonal decor?

I am looking for a new book to read.  After a horrifying journey through Anna Karenina (it's seriously embarrassing how long it took me to finish that one) I have been hesitant to dive into anything else.  I did start Motherless Daughters for about the 4th time in a decade but not sure that I will actually stick through to the end (pregnancy does make me a little more emotional).  Any suggestions on a decent easy read?

I am trying to finish a photo wall on my stairs that I started....um...well over a year ago?! It has been sifting through photos on the computer and reminiscing.   How did my baby get so big all the sudden?  I love that little girl so much and I can't believe I get to experience the joy of it all over again.  

Riesling hugging the baby(27 week)

Riesling is so excited about babies right now. The anticipation of our new baby must be so hard for her.  She is so loving and caring about the whole situation; kissing and rubbing my belly, talking about the baby all the time, and practicing her big sister skills with her baby doll.  She gets beyond excited to see other babies with friends, around the neighborhood, or even just our in public.  I have a feeling she will want to be overly helpful with some things!  And I know there are a lot of things she just doesn't see coming (like sharing her Mama!).

Random thoughts for a Tuesday

I can't decide what hurts more: winter thumb cuts or ear pimples.


We were dog free for a few days.  Without my little Sofee vacuum around I realized how much food I actually drop on the floor in a day.

I'm scheduled for a much needed haircut tomorrow.  I'm thinking bangs but I might regret that.  Maybe just chop it off?  Or a boring trim?

Have you heard the new Foxygen album?  I'm thinking about using my iTunes gift card from LAST Christmas to buy it.  I'm so indecisive about investing in music. 

I made these last week and can't stop thinking about them.  It's like Rice Krispies crack.

Every year Jim and I declare that we a late February/early March vacation is essential to surviving winter in the Northeast, yet we NEVER plan one.  Why is that? 

I love seeing good friends that make you feel like family.  Doesn't it look like we switched babies with the hair color & complexion mix going on?  Little girls are just so darn sweet.
