Fall wishlist
Fall, you're a saucy little minx. We got a brief but glorious taste of Her last weekend here in Charleston. Low 70's, no humidity, gorgeous. But She's a tease, that one.
Now it's back to the mid to high 80's every day with humidity so high it feels like the inside of a dogs mouth every time I step outside.
I can't wait to wear Fall clothes.
In January.
When it's finally Fall.

Of birthdays and hair....
So I'm already feeling like this might be a longish sort of post, so I'm putting the best part first...a nifty little hair trick I stumbled upon...you need to try this one out...foolproof. Seriously. This fool tried it.
So this is by far the easiest way to get beachy-waves in your hair...no curling iron needed.
All you need is a stretchy headband. I found it here on Meredith's blog first, and I just had to share.
The girl's hair in the video is already kind of wavy and thick, and mine is super thin and long and it still worked and I loved it. (this video is kind of long, but the gist of it is...you put a stretchy headband on around your forehead, hippy style. Then you just wrap small strips of hair around and under it.)
My version, (on the right) from a friend's birthday party....
You may think I'm playing fast and loose with the term "beachy waves" here, but the fact that my hair was anything other than stick straight for more than 2 minutes without having to spray the frickity-frack out of it with hairspray is a miracle.
A miracle I tell you.
So rest assured it will probably turn out even better on your own pretty head.
*Tips: for even curlier waves, take a shower, wait till hair is 80-90% dry, wrap it and then sleep on it.
I rushed the process because I have the patience of a flea, and only let it dry for a couple of hours. And it was still a nice improvement from my usual method of throwing it up in a ponytail and picking out the stray cheerios. {I have a baby. That will be my excuse until she's 14}

and polka-dot dresses

{you like my 1974 school cafeteria chairs? yes you do.}
My sweet Charlotte Jane. You're the one who made me a mom.
And your sweet baby smell is fading.
Replaced with shocking displays of foot-stomping sass
I want you to grow up and stay small all at the same time and it hurts my heart a little.
And not to be outdone,
Stroodle Noodle turned 8 months old, got her first tooth and started to crawl...
we're all a little tired

A Canvas wish list...
Good lord, does Shabby Apple actually sell any of their dresses? Every time I open my eyeballs someone is having a give-a-way on their blog for one of them. {No hate, Shabby Apple. I heart your clothes. your publicity person is just a busy beaver, that's all}
Anyway.
This is actually about how much I've been digging the newest endeavor of the old classic, Land's End...their Canvas line. Katie from Bower Power has written about some of the cute things she's gotten, and I decided to check it out.
I know. Land's End makes you think about moose, and flannel, and fuzzy slippers. Maybe just me?
But they've attempted a more modern look with Canvas, and there are several things I honestly would love to add to my summer wardrobe. {I've chosen to say "wardrobe", instead of "things I'd like to add to the pile of clothes in my closet that may or not get hung up someday" in an attempt to fool you about the level of both class and cleanliness in this establishment)
