[gorgeous]

Look what I learned to do! Wide, flat braids are so gorgeous. Five strand braid is what I normally do but this stacked one is even wider than that. It would have turned out even better had I wet the hair first. 

Cute Girls Hairstyles has instructional videos for all sorts of braids and other hair styles. Check them out. :)

[which one would you choose?]

 

For Mother’s Day, my husband did something extra special this year. He sent me and Sienna for an adventure. He gave me 10 cards which I was to open as directed. First one took us to my favorite furniture store, F2. While browsing modern furniture, we were supposed to wait for a special guest. It was my mother-in-law who didn't have a clue why she had to come to the furniture store to meet us.

We opened the next card and found out we needed to go for lunch @ Cora’s which was a short distance away from the furniture store. We had a lovely lunch and then opened the next card. It told us directions where to drive. Once we got there, we opened the next card and we were told to go and get manicures & pedicures. We had a blast!

The day continued as we were directed to do other things too (shopping at Lulu Lemon…).

While waiting for our manicures & pedicures to start, we browsed a magazine with funky hair dos. We played the game “which hair style would you choose if you HAD TO choose one”. I thought it would be fun to do here on the blog too. Leave a comment to state which hair style you would choose. Just something sillly to do since it’s almost Friday. Be courageous and don't choose #19. J

My choices are #4 and #9. If I'd had to go all the way crazy, I'd choose #18. Wouldn't I be the coolest mom picking her kid from school or what? J

Don’t I have the best husband ever? How he comes up with these things, I don’t know. Now I need to come up with something equally good for Father’s Day. J

[make-up, hair, nails, swivel stools, tile]

Love everything about this Revlon ad.

The hair, the make-up, the nails.

Super cute short hair!

Saw this photo in a magazine and I can't get over how skeletal the arms look. I'm pretty sure they've been Photoshopped. Why on earth would they edit the arms to look like this? Sick!

We're still renovating and getting things done in our new home. We found these kitchen counter top swivel stools at Crate & Barrel.

And this is how the front and side entrance tiles look like.

It's good to see so much green out there. Hoping for a long, long summer and that winter will be as late as our spring was.

mun piti pitää blogilakkoa mutta enpä taida jaksaakaan. vaikka monesti tuntuukin itsepuhelulta tämä meno niin oh well. :) ja on mulla muutama vakkarilukija sentään.

jotenkin niin ihanat kuvat että! mikskä noita kädenlämmittäjiä kutsuttiinkaan? opin tekemään tuollaiset kalanruotoletit mutten kyllä muista enää miten se menikään. pitääpä etsiä netistä ohje ja kokeilla siennalle.
jännityksellä odotan että miten siennan esikoulukuvat onnistuvat. eilen otettiin. en tiedä milloin ne saan.

uusi kysely! ----->
i was supposed to be on blogging strike but decided otherwise. i like blogging too much, i guess. :) so even though it feels like a monologue on most days, oh well! :) gotta stop feeling jealous of other bloggers' comments. :)

i love these pictures. i can't remember what those handwarmers are called but aren't they cute?

i once learned how to make those fishbone braids but do you think i'd remember now how to make them? no. need to find the instructions form the internet and try it on sienna.

i can't wait to see sienna's playschool pictures! hope we don't have to wait too long.

a new poll! ------>

later...
