Freaky Deaky

 

sometimes you try to save money

sometimes it’s a bad idea

sometimes you visit a new salon because of a great coupon

sometimes there is a man wearing high-waisted acid washed jeans (but not in a Kate Moss ironic way)

sometimes a rotund, heavily tattooed elderly man is your stylist

sometimes you want to run away but you just feel so awkward

that you sit still but pray they don’t slit your throat

sometimes said stylist shares his psych ward experiences when he finds out what you do

sometimes you send a covert text to your hubby so he’ll know where you were last spotted

sometimes rotund, heavily tatted old guy who must have gone to beauty school in the pen says,

“Darling the trick to getting that hair dye off your face is rubbing it with  cigarette ashes”

sometimes you say, “no need to cut my hair or blow dry it, and I love the color so let’s forget the highlights”

sometimes you tip just cause you made it out of there alive

sometimes you wheel into Chick-Fillet and scarf a brownie like there’s no tomorrow

sometimes……….

I love that I get to work with some very creative, smart, and funny women

I totally copied this from one of them

I call it the Busy Mom frame cause you don’t have to open the back to change out the photo

whipped some up for some special busy moms I know and love

Thanks Debi- great idea!

the day I had this giant (2 by 3 feet) print made, I left for a 10 hour road trip to a funeral

It was a whirlwind of tragedy and grace

 I heard the gospel and funny stories and celebrated the life of my uncle J

I’ve spent time since then just processing, sleeping, and thinking

I flaked out on friends and fun, just needing to breathe

Hospice asked J how he wanted to be remembered,

He wanted to be remembered as someone who always tried to help his family- and he was.

I’ve been pondering how I want to be remembered, a humbling task for sure:

I hope it will be that I attempted (however poorly) to live out my faith in Christ and loved my husband and sweet babies with wonder

I hope at my funeral people will play U2 and drink strong sweet tea with lemon and tell funny stories and hear the gospel

and breathe and go home and hug their babies and know this life is fragile

Golden Girl

 sweet Ava loves to stage her doll house

today she asked me to document her work

 I love a man who cooks

Moms should always have wild hair and babies that make them smile.

I love this budding designer!

 this boy I love, loves Legos

I saw a really cool display idea from Three Paper Peonies:

take a frame and add cute paper

 

hot glue Lego bases

 hang on wall for ever-changing display of Lego goodness

Artsy Smartsy

crafty kids have been at it again

for making me a rock star to my four-year old

with Lego soap

My Star

Graham was a caterpiller and banner holder in his spring parade today

He beamed like a broadway star

Last year he was a carrot and I had to miss it for work. 

 This year I was there and thrilled with my boy!

Jam Session

These little jewels from South Carolina hoped in my car on Thursday

This little guy inherited his dad’s phobia of all red foods

A breakthrough perhaps?  There are no child labor laws in this casa

This girl thinks I’m the “best mom ever”, this boy not so much

 thumbs up for bacon!

many a tea party around here include rabbits

Look, mom, I fixed my own hair

best baby giggles

 fierce back yard baseball

Team Thompson

Kristen brought brownies

 A brought me flowers from Greenback
