i hope you have been keeping up! if not, my last two contributions can be found here and here.

this week's prompt, memories, was pretty open to a lot of options. i chose something not so long ago, because it is one of my favorites.

brock and i love love love camping. this was on our first trip camping just us two. i love camping with my family, and brock and i have been with some friends. but it was so great to go last fall, just us. we  drove up the mountain through all the fall-colored trees. we worked together to set up camp {in the dark}. we built a nice cozy fire and roast marshmallows. side-note: we wrapped them in a crescent roll sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and i loooved it. end side-note. and then we spent several hours just talking.

before the sun came up, we woke up and hiked to the edge of the site.mountain to watch the sunrise!

and then this picture took place. we drove down to the lake after a breakfast of fresh fruit and nuts and granola bars. and then we just took pictures. and this was my favorite. in case you can't tell, i took a sneak shot of brock taking photos.

next week is twins. oh buddy... i'm gonna have to get creative. 

pixie reveal: why short is better than long

happy weekend! it's friday and tomorrow is going to be crazy. lots to do, but this week has been pretty good so far!

monday was the best day, my class was canceled so i decided to go get that haircut i've been wanting forever. remember that? well it's time to show you!

if you follow me on instagram, you may have seen, but if not, let's see what the before shots looked like, shall we?

 aaaaand now! for the final product!

i gotta say, i basically love it. i feel spunkier. and freer. and a little bit less busy in the mornings. no?

so you might be wondering why i decided to cut it. here are the reasons i think short hair is better than long:

• no long hair all over by bathroom floor, flannel pillow case, in my food, or hardwood floors. {yeah i shed like a dog, what?}
• more time in the morning. a quick blow dry and some product and bam! five minutes.
• no hair heating up my neck when it's getting warm, no problem if i forgot my hairtie
• no having to scrounge for hairties, clips, headbands and other annoying tools to tie my hair back when working out.
• i feel like tinkerbell.

so are you a long or short hair kind of person? i used to be long, but once you hack it, you don't back to it. {see what i did there! ...wink...}
