Hallelujah! It's the day after Mother's Day. Phew! I made it!
We made it!! This year was a difficult one for me. It really hit me this year. Last year, we were in the fairly beginning stages of IVF (this time last year, we had only one failed IVF cycle under our belts and were in the middle of our second) and we were still optimistic that IVF would work (so naive). We never thought that we'd be where we are today. As I'm sure none of you did, either.
Anyway, yesterday, my husband and father-in-law gave me, what I'd like to call, a non-Mother's Day gift... They painted the inside of my house! Our house has, what you'd call, an open floor plan. Our front entry-way goes into our family room, which goes into our dining room, which goes into our kitchen, which goes into our hallway - so, this was a big job. And they got it all done yesterday by 2 p.m.! I love this kind of a change. Anything to make something more fresh and clean - LOVE it! Before, the walls were painted a pretty (but boring) shade of cream/off-white-ish. Now, they're a lovely sage green-ish color.

What's a change, if it's not a big one, right?! I had decided about a week ago that I wanted to go back to my natural hair color. I was sick of the up-keep, the roots and also the cost of getting my hair done once every six weeks. I'm sure I'll be blonde again before you know it, but hey... that's the beauty of hair :)
Sometimes change feels good. It's absolutely what I needed this weekend!

You look so dang cute in those dresses!
Great post!
Wow! I always assumed your blonde was pretty close to your natural color! Haha! You make a good blonde AND brunette! Haha! I highlighted mine blonde for 15 years and then suddenly wondered what my natural was. I grew it out & liked the natural! So it's still that way although it has been for about a year...starting to miss my blonde again! Ha!
Love that blue dress and love the green walls! That looks like the color of our guest bathroom walls. :)
I love that sage color...very calming and relaxing. It's like a spa in your living room now!
Oh, and I am jealous. You are one of those people who looks good with any hair color. You are so stinkin cute!!
Love your new paint. Your green looks similar to my home office color, which is called green tea. Very calming. Check it out!

I like that new paint color, and what a sweet and thoughtful gesture of them to do that, it truly looks great! I also love the new hair color! You are gorgeous either way, but mixing it up is so fun! Sometimes a few small changes can totally revamp our entire outlook on life! :)

I see you EVERYWHERE, commenting like crazy! I always think "I should click on Aubrey" but then I forget. Glad I finally did it. Looking forward to following your journey.
Also, your hair is very cute. Love it! I did the opposite this week (went from dark to light) and it was a miserable failure, but such is life. (-:
Ok, GORGEOUS! Love the hair :)
Love the paint, and you are simply beautiful.
