Strange Confessions
So let me tell you a little secret. It’s one of those secrets I keep in my “things moms do to not shower” corner. It’s called “Put a Scarf on It!” Aka… I have gone like four days without showering, and I had to go out in public, so today scarves are my best friend. Because when there’s a scarf covering up my hair, nobody can see how bad it is. If it’s really bad, I put my hair up before I scarf it. But today it’s just at that line where you sort of need to shower at the roots, but the ends are actually the nice, supple, perfectly…

Life Lately
My husband and I went to a wedding this weekend, which was so wonderful! I love seeing people I’ve known for ages get married; it’s always so happy to be able to watch that and enjoy the love you can see coming out of both parties! I think Mr. Owl and I might be party poopers, though, because we rarely join in when there’s dancing at weddings. Am I the only one who really dislikes the modern wedding dancing with hip hop music and basically just getting out there to bounce around and bob your head and body to the beat? What happened to big band jazz and dances you…

Playing dress-up
This dress, you guys… this dress. Let me tell you a story about it. I was eight or so months pregnant and at Goodwill browsing the dresses for one or two more frocks to stretch over my then-42″ belly when my fingers brushed over a piece of fabric in the XL section. It felt vintage (if you’ve shopped and searched for vintage long enough, you get the feel for it), and even though I don’t normally pick out black dresses (or wear black, for that matter), I pulled it out.

Think Pink!
I really don’t have much to say today; it’s a lazy day at home and the only things on my list are to clean the bathroom, get the laundry done, and do the dishes. My parents, brother and I are doing the Whole 30 again, which will be great for me because I’ve been craving chocolate a ton! I’m excited to get back into healthy habits with eating. Next on my list is to start taking daily walks. Well, once we live in a place where I can do that, haha! I can’t really take Asa with me because the roads around here are unsafe with a stroller. But…

Flowering into Spring
I risked death for these pictures. Okay, so that might be exaggerating. But there was a very big bee that kept swarming around my head, and it was all I could do not to run away in fear. Well… walk away slowly in fear. Because running means you get stung. It was very dangerous. Ha! And then the neighbor got home while I was taking photos, and this tree is in full view of her house and only about fifty feet from where she parks. So that was awkward. Despite the fact that absolutely no strangers have ever questioned what I was doing, and most people act like it’s totally…
