I was more interested in selfies at Cole’s graduation than Annelise was.

Isn’t my sister’s room just perfect? This is just a part of it, but seriously, doesn’t she have the coolest bedroom? Lights from the ceiling, a swing, long drapes, matching muted colors. The thing I appreciate about Jennie’s room most, though, is how she’s always willing to let us stay there if we decide to spend the night or need to crash at my mom’s for a day or two. Thank you, Jennie, for sharing your beautiful room with us!

I got my hair cut a few weeks ago. Like, chopped it all off. It’s the shortest I’ve had it. I kind of love it. I don’t know yet if I’ll grow it out or keep it like this for a while, but there are definite benefits to being a young mom in a Houston summer with short hair. Plus it was a kind of fun thing to do, something I’ve always dreamed of doing but never had the guts to do. And I donated my hair. That felt good.

So introducing the new me:

Before…

…after!
