Last Friday, I had my mom cut my hair to a bit longer than shoulder length and slightly layered. I’ve been having fun playing with new styles. Now I get to show ya’ll some short hairstyles!
Hope you have a lovely weekend!
What’s your favorite way to wear your hair? What styles make you feel pretty?
Here’s a quick, glamorous hairstyle that looks like you spent loads of time curling your hair. However, you only need to curl a small section of hair, which only takes a few minutes!
Janna hosted an epic bridal shower for Beth.
We spent a few fun weekends at the cabin.

Uncle Tom had to show up the youngsters by skiing on a canoe paddle.
Watched Reuben & the guys play golf. You can watch the video here: {link}
We managed to squeeze some veggies out of our garden, despite my broken wrist and voracious rabbits.
We spent a week camped at a jobsite – the boys worked from sunup til sundown, and we women cooked.
Experimenting with the “Macro” setting on the “little” (non-DSLR) Sony camera.
I got my new camera. LOVE it so much. But not as much as I love this handsome dude.
Little Ellie. She’s getting so big and learning to talk so well.
I baked some awesome, no-knead bread. I’ll be sharing the recipe sometime on my cooking blog.
I tagged along and watched Reuben hunt this year.
We got our first Christmas tree.
Decorated.
Went skating. See the video here: {link}
More skating. The guy in this photo recently served in Afghanistan, the girl is his wife. They had never had a chance to skate with each other before.
Hockey! See the video here: {link}
Melanie visited from Ireland.
Christmas at the B. Family’s!
I’ll never forget Elinor’s reaction to opening “Hair CLIPS!” See the video here: {link}
I hope you all have a wonderful year!

By January 1st, we had quite a bit of snow – a far cry from this year!

Last night, Reuben surprised me with these lovely flowers. I love the way the roses are varicolored, and the purple flowers add a lovely accent. Even the greenery is beautiful! My man has such good taste.
After supper, he put away the food, washed the dishes, and cleaned the kitchen.
Every day I am reminded why I fell in love with this amazing guy. He always finds a way to make me feel loved.
What’s something special someone did for you lately?
