A little this and a little that!!!

Nothing too exciting has been going on in our neck of the woods these days.  Chloe celebrated her 5th birthday a couple weeks ago.  I can't believe she is 5 already.  Where has the time gone?  We picked up a decent size 3 ft by 10 ft above ground pool for Chloe which came in pretty handy during her birthday party and all the kiddos that were in attendance. 

Chloe has also been enrolled her in gymnastics again.  She started going to gym for an hour on saturdays when she was 3 and at the beginning it was good but then she started not wanting to go every saturday and for me felt like a waste of money when she didn't want to go.  So we decidec to take a break for a while which turned into a 2 year break lol.  Well over the past couple of months she has been begging me for her to start gym again.  Her Auntie (my little sis) is an avid gymnast and tap dancer and Chloe has had to go to a few of her practices with my mom and that lite the flame of her wanting to attend gym again.  So now I have a standing date with gym on Saturday mornings lol. 

I have also kept with my sulfate and silicone free regime with my hair which I am so proud of.  My hair was pretty damaged before I started so it will take a while to get my hair back to the natural healthiness from when I was younger but I'm determined to follow thru.  I haven't used a brush in my hair in a month (but I do use a comb in the shower to detangle so don't think I've gone crazy lol) and have kept to only low pooing once to twice a week and condishoner washing inbetween.  My hair is feeling so much healthier and stronger than when I first started.  I have noticed my wurls (curls and waves) are starting to enhance which is awesome.  I also figured out over the last week that my hair needs all the protein it can get right now.  It makes my curls bouncier and so soft.  I have fallen inlove with Whole Foods since they have some awesome hair care products there that aren't too expensive.  My most recent purchase was the Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner.  Its packed full of protein and moisture that my hair just eats right up.  There are so many products there that I want to try out but alas I mush be patient and use up what I have already first.  My guy thinks I'm crazy for putting in all this work on my hair but I know once I get my hair to its full potential he will understand. 

As of yet we don't have anything planned for the summer.  I know we will throw in a trip to Cali sometime this summer for the munchkin but unsure of when yet (because finding someone to take care of 4 dogs can be a bit of a pain in the rear!!!).  But right now its looking like a lazy go with the flow summer which sometimes can be better than chaotic running around trying to get a laundry list of stuff done.  I'm looking forward to laying around by the pool and spending time with my 2 fav people and 4 fav dogs :).

  1. There is nothing wrong with a simple laid back summer. Ours will be mostly that although I need to keep myself occupied with a routine as well. I have tried out so many things with Q-tip and sometimes I wish he would go back to the but moving forward is ok too. Enjoy your new Saturday gymnastics!
