What I've been up to.

I've been hesitant to post here lately because I'm in the middle of switching blogs. Between working on a design for my new blog and working on designs for clients, I haven't had much time to think or write. I really hate switching blogs because I do this a lot. I wasn't too happy with this blog name when I first started it and I wouldn't really classify myself as a "mommy blogger" so the title doesn't really fit too well in my opinion. Plus, I don't plan on being a "single mom" forever (God willing! haha) and I would rather switch now rather than 2, 3, 4+ years from now when I've invested more time and energy into it. So, expect a post soon telling you all to please follow a new blog because this one will cease to exist soon :)

In other news, I bought a new laptop because mine completely died on me. It's an HP something or other. I'm probably an anomaly in the "tech" world. I'm a graphic and web designer (it's my full-time job) but I wouldn't classify myself as a "geek" like most do. I'm not really interested in geeky things or the tech side of it. I just like making the internet pretty. So, my computer is nothing fancy. It's not a sleek-looking MAC, it doesn't have 29084508342 gigabytes of ram. But it gets the job done and it didn't break the bank. I'm a simple girl. I also got a Bamboo tablet. I haven't had the chance to play with it yet because Aiden has sort of stolen it from me.

We haven't had a horrible Winter this year, but this past weekend it was pretty nice outside so I took Aiden to the little playground at our apartment complex.

 

AND! I tried something different with my hair. I found this hair tutorial on Pinterest but modified it a bit. My hair will not hold a curl to save my life. I wish I could find pictures from my 10th grade Homecoming. My poor stylist used about 2 or 3 cans of hairspray on my curls and they fell out before I ever got to the dance. I modified the tutorial a bit. I braided my hair while it was still wet, went to sleep, then followed the actual directions once I woke up and you can see the results below. I'm not sure what I think about it. My hair has never been anything but straight so it was weird. The first picture was taken about as soon as I woke up (obviously - still in my PJ's - which are just old sweats from when I was pregnant, lol). My hair felt really poofy so I put it in a low side ponytail (as you can see the other photo). I'm going to give it another shot this weekend. Oh, and it lasted all day... and the next day.
