MIA Aplogies

So sorry everyone, I've been so dang MIA!!! I had to do tons of lesson planning, then I had to get all my stuff together cause we had a church conference in CA. I haven't even unpacked out of my suitcase yet & I've been back for a week now. I have to do more lesson planning. I have to clean my room! I have volunteer work that I need to get done with after next month. I still need to post pictures from my trip onto my blog. I've been cleaning my house. And the list just never ends. I really need to take some more time off to just set my priorities straight! I will update more later (when I can). Love you guys though! Thanks for all the lovely comments & for all the new followers thank you so much!

I Got a Haircut!

So I finally got my sister-in-law to cut my hair after debating if I should save it & not touch it. I really like my cut cause it frames my face & gives me volume. Especially cause my hair is so thin & fine. My husband got home & he was like " Wow it makes you look skinnier!" hahaha I was like yeah see thats why I wanted to get it cut! But at first he didn't want me to. But he's fine with it. It's not like I'm shaving my head or something.. hahaha.... let me know what you think.

Before: My grown-out bob cut with long bangs

After: My face a bit more framed with bangs

My Package is Here!

Thanks again to Tamara from CherryColors. I messaged her when I received my prize but I never got the chance to show you guys what I won! She's so lovely for giving these away! Check out what I got, when I first found out that I had won, she emailed me telling me that she shipped it & it was going to take about of month because she's out of country & all, but I actually received it quicker than I thought! I think it was like 1-2 weeks. She packaged everything so cute. Wrapped in bubble-wrap & hello kitty tape! So adorable. I love hello kitty!
