haircut

I gave Maren a haircut last week, right after her bath.  She seemed excited, but the next morning she looked in the mirror and said, "Mom, I'm mad at you!  (In her weepy voice) I want my hair to be long like yours."  Too late!  I think she's getting over it and that's good because the new do is cute!      

pom pom garland

Maren and I made this little pom pom garland the other day.  I have been trying to find a little Valentine's Day decoration ever since we took down the mini Christmas tree and finally settled on this idea.  She was even able to string them herself.  I found some other cute pom pom inspirations, but this was probably my favorite.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Winter

We are enjoying the extraordinarily mild winter, including a few days of 65 degree weather.  I was out doing yard work in a tee shirt the other day!  (But feeling a little sad for the new, pink Sorels I got Maren for her birthday.  Maybe they'll still fit next year.)
