Resolution #2 – New Hair Style

I am jump starting on my new year’s resolutions:) Maybe the being spontaneous thing is giving me courage! As with my last pregnancy, I get this itch somewhere along 4-5 months along where I need a new hair style. Last pregnancy, I stuck with the same old same old. This time around I am going to be a little more bold. I am going for a look along the lines of the ones above. Crossing my fingers I don’t end up with a mushroom or mullet. Wish me luck!

New Year + New Chapter

This is how I feel at the start of a new year! 😀

A fresh new page on a new chapter in my life. Each year is so completely from the next, and like 2010, it is full of both blessings and trials, both which can enrich your life.

Will be posting some resolutions for the new year one at a time so you all can hold me accountable for completing them;)

My first resolution is already being completed this week. I am being spontaneous, and starting off the New Year with a bang! I booked a last minute trip to L.A. on Thursday to meet up with my friend/ editor of Radiant Magazine to attend a Private Movie Screening ….we have some exciting plans for the magazine underway! Also in the plans- hit up the L.A. Fabric district to get supplies for the IHOD Spring 2011 Line! Looking forward to this!

Stay tuned for the results!

Thanks for your friendship in 2010! Looking forward to keeping in touch in 2011!

Hello loves! I hope you are enjoying the Holidays with your family! There are TWELVE days of Christmas so we are still celebrating!! Christmas cards are going out late this year, but wanted to share these with you….I am sure those of you with kids can agree that you will get maybe ONE good photo out of 100 taken! I love looking at the outtakes though. So funny. My sister and I took each other’s pics this year, and she did such a good job with making little G smile:)

These boys make me so happy….

Also, I guest posted over on Jennifer’s blog….one of my fave Style blogs:D You can see what my top three items I can’t live without, what I would do with a million dollars, and personal style picks:) Come say hi!

I am still crazy about this color, and of course Anthropologie has the perfect accessories in this shade.

And I was happy to find some braided inspiration:) I frequent braids quite often…especially on bad hair days. Lucky for me, my husband loves when I wear my hair in braids -yeah he loves my bad hair days?!

We are going to attempt family pictures this weekend in a very spur of the moment decision to do Christmas cards! Wish me luck!
