So here's the quick version of my hair. My hair is naturally black, not dark brown, black. When the summer months approached I got with my stylist and got some highlights put throughout to lighten it up a bit and it looked great. Within a month my quick growing hair had already had the highlights grown out and I didn't want to drop another $60+ getting it re-highlighted just to continue the process. I went and bought a box of dye and am back to my black hair.
Fast forward to now...
I am swooning over the balayage (ombre) look. The best part about it, your hair is lighter at the bottom so no roots showing after a month. I am highly considering it and here are the looks I'm loving!
Swoon! It's like hair porn right there! Love these looks.

I am slowly but surely getting all of Cadence's Disney outfits coordinated. So far I have purchased an outfit for her to wear to Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom and MGM. I even sweet talked Tarl into wearing a Mickey head with Dad monogrammed underneath, small on the pocket of his shirt, for Magic Kingdom day. I honestly don't know how I did it, or I should say Cadence, once she sweet talked him he was hooked and told me to buy the logo. He didn't have to tell me twice, done! I of course got a coordinating mom/minnie head. I can't wait! A lot of people have asked how to afford it and let me tell you Etsy is amazing. I purchased cheap iron on transfers and will do it myself on a plain t-shirt. I did splurge on her Animal Kingdom outfit, but YOLO! Less than 65 days to go...

When I got home from work last night Tarl told me to sit down so we could talk. He had a smile on his face and I honestly had no clue what was coming next. I was thinking surprise date night this weekend or he hit some cash on a scratch off (he's lucky with those things and has totaled over $1000 in them. Me, I'm lucky if I win my money back!).
Let's back track a little bit. We sat down two weeks ago, did the math with old school pen, paper and a calculator and after two hours realized that we could be debt free within the next 1 1/2 years. Not long at all. I'm not including our mortgage, but all credit cards, tedious bills, etc. will be completely paid in full.
Moving on to last night. He told me stories of how there was a time his mom stayed at home with him and his sister. She was a stay at home mom for a few years and he remembers all the fun things they did together, even if it didn't involve spending money he still remembered having fun and spending quality time with his mom. I've wanted to be a SAHM with Cadence ever since I was pregnant but financially we just couldn't. Much to my surprise he told me he wanted Cadence and I to have those same fun times that he remembers having with his mom. I literally teared up at the thought. In 1 1/2 years (not long at all) I will be able to have that dream come true. March 2016 cannot come fast enough :)

It's Friday! I hope each of you have a great weekend!
Just a little warning I did the ombre thing with my hair and after a month or so it looked pretty orange-y and my stylist said because of how dark my hair is I would have to like kill it with bleach or come back every month to get it to stay looking right ;/ But I also have "ethnic" type hair so that might be why lol. All your outfits sound too cute and I love the animal kingdom one! What a sweet hubby, that is seriously a dream! BTW were you as disappointed in the 50 shades trailer as I was? Christian is just not hot enough for me...
ReplyDeleteWell hey there stranger! Where have you been? I have so missed your blog posts and I sure hope that sweet baby girl is doing good.
DeleteI honestly had a "consultation" today to speak to the owner and my hair too is so very dark that he said it could take up to three processes to get it to where I want it, so I'm sticking to my black hair. I think about it like this. Not many girls have naturally black hair, so I kinda like that about us, am I right? :)
My hubby truly surprises me daily and for him to say that is a dream come true and the best surprise he could have ever gave me. I wasn't expecting him to ever financially let me stay home because unfortunately in this world it does take two incomes (if not more) but he said within a year we would be able to do it. So blessed to have him.
I'll be completely honest with you, not sure if you saw my post yesterday about the trailer or not, but I was not a fan of Jamie Dornan playing CG, however, he pulled it off for me in the trailer. No, he's not the most gorgeous thing out there, but I believe from what I saw in the trailer he plays the part very well. We shall see!
