30 days 30 ways.

Remember my recent hair crisis? If not, you can catch up here.

Well, with all of your supportive advice, I decided to do something big.

Can you say Brazilian Blowout?

You probably don't want to say it, actually.

I can't tell you how many funny looks I got when I told people I was getting one. It got pretty awkward making people think of my bikini line. Could the makers not have thought of a better name???

Seriously.

Anywho.

Since I spent an absurd amount of money on my hair (something very new and foreign to me), I figured I better make it count.

So I came up with 30 days 30 ways: a new 'do for every day of the month. Here's how it went:

Day 1 
Curly, side braid (not my finest hour)
*Decided to remove this picture because of how sick I got of looking at how ugly it was*

Day 2
Low, curly, side pony.
No photographic evidence of this boring hair.

Day 3
High pony with hair pulled back (no part).
Again, no evidence, except for every other picture of me taken this year.

Day 4

Day 5

Day 6
Low, straight, side pony with flower clip.

Day 7

Day 8
Down and straight with flower headband

Day 9

Day 10

 Day 11
Straight, half up, with flower clip.

Day 12
Straight topsy tail

Day 13

Day 14


Day 15

Day 16

Day 17
 Curly half up with flower clip.

Day 18
Simple straight ponytail

Day 19

Day 20

Day 21
 Straight "Waterfall Twist"
 Day 22
 Day 23
Messy bun.
No photographic proof.

Day 24
 Don't you just love Miles's goofy face in the background? :)

Day 25

Day 26
I was too busy packing to get a picture of this one.

Day 27
Curly, messy bun with headband

Day 28
Day 29

Day 30

Well, there you have it. Thank you, Pinterest for helping me embrace my inner girly-girl.

Now I just feel a tad bit conceited for posting so many damn pictures of myself...

my baby is cuter than your baby.

Normally I don't blog about Miles.

After all, this isn't your average "mommy blog."

It's probably not your average blog, period. But that's besides the point.

Anywho. Miles did something ridiculously awesome yesterday that I can't help but brag about....

Ok, so this is just an amazingly adorable picture and has nothing to do with the story that I'm about to tell you. I just couldn't resist... He's so damn cute!

It all started when when I was 12 years old. I became best friends with Lorelai and Rory and they have been in my life ever since.

If you don't believe me, you can see my previous post here about our tight bond.

They have been in Miles's life ever since he was born. Well, I guess if you want to be technical, he's known them since he entered my womb.

Let's face it, Miles was probably conceived with an episode on in the background. TMI? Sorry, I guess my blog has become my outlet for over-sharing.

Regardless. Brett and I have recently started watching Gilmore Girls every night before bed, usually while Miles is snuggling with me and nursing.

A couple days ago, we were watching and the main theme song came on. Miles perked up and started dancing to the music and getting all happy and clapping like a manic wind up monkey. Needless to say, it was adorable hilarious.

But the cuteness doesn't stop there...

Yesterday afternoon, I nursed Miles to sleep while we were laying in bed snuggling again. Before I had a chance to move him to his own bed so I could also enjoy some Sunday shut eye, Brett decided to put on an episode of Gilmore Girls.

The minute the theme song came on, Miles reached his hands out from under the covers and started clapping... in his sleep!!

It took me awhile to stop laughing.

I'm lucky to have such Gilmore Girls-loving boys in my life.

No doubt, I'm raising him them right. ;-)
