I love having daughters to share clothes with. I can now quit grieving the loss of my mother and sisters closets when we all grew up.

Ps Tarzan says I look tall

Megan Hair

I love experimenting with hair tools (I think this came from big hair and Cyndi Lauper in the 80s). I have everything from hot rollers to the Instyler to 4 different barreled curling irons.

Over the year’s hot rollers is my go to. But Megan has always provided a good alternative. A couple years ago it was egg whites. Beating the egg whites, using as hair gel and then blow drying gives a great beach wave look. But Megan’s latest alternative taught to me last year at Alice's baby shower (now named Megan Hair) has become the ultimate go to. Given the choice my children and Tarzan will always pick Megan Hair :)

Me too!

Fortune Funny

Leaving lunch with Karen (who is currently super blonde) she encouraged/reminded me (who is currently super red) that we needed to read our fortunes.

The red head was very happy with hers. The blonde, not so much

The newest charger fan

I can't get my children to cheer for San Diego, so during a conversation with Ethan over Christmas I did the next best thing and convinced my nephew that he could be a fan with me. He agreed as long as he doesn't have to play football.

Top 5 pics sent toe week ending 1/6

New blogger on phone is terrible. Sorry for lack of description. And head turners.

Love to all!

I was searching for a "big clock" on Amazon

All I can tell you is that if I were looking for a vampire clock shirt I would have never found it.
