I got hair extensions. I've been wanting long hair forever, but my hair just doesn't ever grow long and look good. I've tried. Maybe because I bleach the hell out of it? Speaking of, I finally found a hair dresser that I don't think i'll EVER be able to leave. I've never really gone to the same person consistently. I've had a few hair dressers do my hair a couple times each, but then always ended up going somewhere else (usually because when I decide I want my hair done/can afford it, I want it NOW and if...

In no particular order... 1. My iPhone. Pretty self explanatory. But really, I think i'm addicted to my phone. It's kind of a problem, and i'm gonna work on that...tomorrow ;) 2. Music. Also pretty self explanatory. I listen to music during probably 80% of my day. I love live music and I love pretty much every type of music.  3. Coffee. I never used to like it, then I had Porter and it's now a staple in my day. When I wake up it's the first thing I think about. I like LOTS of sugar and Peppermint...

Woke up to 8-10 inches of snow this morning,  and it's still coming down. The snow is sooo pretty, and i'm trying so hard to just enjoy it. I tend to get anxiety when it snows. My car sucks driving in it, and honestly i'm scared to drive in it. These are the days in which I would love to be driving a tank, ha. But i'm trying to just suck it up and get over it, and take things minute to minute today, instead of stress out about how i'm going to get Porter from his dad's...

If you're friends with me on Facebook or Instagram, you've probably seen these pictures recently. About a month and a half ago Porter and I started going to church. Flatirons Community Church to be exact. The place is huge, like, 15,000 members huge. Huge, and AMAZING. They're actually building a second location about 45 mins closer to my house than the main building is, so that'll be sweet for when the weather is bad and I can't (or don't want to) drive an hour away. I've been wanting to go to this particular church for years, and i'm...

I went shopping yesterday on Black Friday for the first time ever. I wasn't planning on it at all, but it started with this coat that I saw at Puma a couple days ago that I couldn't stop thinking about. So friday morning Porter woke up at 5:30am wanting milk, and I couldn't fall back asleep and he was kinda half awake for a while too...and I was thinking about that damn coat again. So I said "bye bye, let's go bye bye!" and he kept saying "noooo mom, sleeeep" I then had to bribe him. With the...
