This week I’m breaking away from my traditional Photostory Friday post (though I’m still participating with Cecily!) and bringing you a fun little Give Me Your Best Shot. You can show off any photos you like, but if you happen to have some fun/favorite pictures from the Summer, I’d love to see those today!
Summer in our house has been officially over for 4 days now. Four days into the new school year, and it already feels like we’ve been in school for months. The kids are loving their new classes, and I am loving this new freedom during the day, although honestly….I haven’t recovered yet from the feeling of being so behind on everything. I still have another week or two of catch-up before I can breathe easier. So bear with me as I have a slightly more jumbled post than usual. This is a sign of how full my brain is lately…
Today I had a special Me-Time consultation with the most amazing person ever. Not only did she know exactly what I should do with my hair to make it look better (I’m saving the hair cut for another day…) but she gave me a hand and neck massage with calming oils and a fun makeover. Get this–CandyMan noticed my hair within seconds of coming home! How’s that for a success??
A note to my readers in the Maryland/DC area: I have $10 off cards for any Aveda service at Anna’s Rockville location. If you want an amazing hair/hand/make-up/body experience with an amazingly talented girl, let me know and I’ll pass on the info!
Just to clarify (because everyone keeps mentioning my new haircut)….she just styled it. Haircut is coming (hopefully!) next week.
The kids have been enjoying a new toy that we got in the mail from Team Mom. My two boys can’t get enough of this scooter. Twizzler (for the first time ever!) has been doing tricks and stunts. When I asked him if he liked the two-wheeled Shox Scooter from Shred Sled better than the typical 3-4 wheel scooters we’ve had, he responded, “Well yeah. DUH!” I love that the Shox Scooter has shocks and a break in the back (easy to access with one foot). I predict hours of fun ahead!
Inside the house, the kids have been going crazy over the Moon Dough Magic Barnyard,
Finally, I am so proud of KitKat for auditioning today for a special choir at her high school. She sang solo in front of a group of people and was the only freshman who made the Women’s Ensemble Choir. Pretty cool, huh?!
What have you been up to? Hopefully your week has been slightly less FULL than mine…
Disclosure: I received the Shox Scooter and the Moon Dough Magic Barnyard

VERY cute haircut! And it looks like your kiddos had lots of fun!
Sounds like things are going pretty good with everyone out of the house! You even got a new Lolli-got-her-groove-back cut that makes you look like the blog-lebrity I already knew you were:)! And your blog got a little makeover too! Somehow I can’t find the linky around here though. I’m slow when it comes to new things!

You look amazing! And I guess I am going to have to get my kids some of that moon dough. They keep begging!
Just found you through MMB. Thought I would try to link up a photo, but did it to a photo post instead. I am still figuring out the blogging world. :)
I love your hair! You look great.
I’m going to have to get the kids some moon dough. It looks like fun :)

Love the cut. You look beautiful. And I am also mourning summer a bit, particularly since the bully incident yesterday. Sigh.
have fun, kids!
so, show us the hair look :)
Great Idea! Just uploaded my little man enjoying the park this summer. He loves the swing. Can you tell? ;-)
I LOVE the new haircut! It looks really good! I wish I were in the area and I’d take you up on the coupon offer! God knows I could use a bit of “me” time!
I’m glad that the first week of school has gone so well! Hopefully, it’ll go smooth here next week!
