Ooh La La Salon {giveaway}
After my second kiddo was born, I didn’t get my hair cut for over a year. By the time I wandered into a salon, I was a moppy mess of long straight hair with crazy waves in the underneath layers (courtesy of the weird hormones that I got from being pregnant with a boy).

Unroll.me: A New Tool for Email Tangles
I have no fewer than four email accounts. Some of them forward in to others. The oldest account I’ve had for over 15 years. The newest I just set up a couple weeks ago. So, I get a lot of email, and I spend a lot of time managing it. A. Lot. Of. Time. One mom I know has completely abandoned email because she simply doesn’t want to deal with the mess. I imagine there … Read entire article »
