Learning from the YouTube

Do you ever just find yourself watching the YouTube to find that one funny video your friend wanted to show you? Then next thing you know hours have gone by? (Please say yes) well hopefully among watching the YouTube to laugh or watch "what does the fox say?" You watch a few videos that are actually educational. I swear Adam passed his organic chemistry class from watching chemistry videos. I'm a total visual learner and have learned a lot of great hair dos from the YouTube. However recently I got really brave... What about cutting my own hair? Scary right? 

I watched this video here and tried it out. 

I want to figure out how to layer the back of my hair better. But for a hair cut that is super quick you can't beat this one. It was a little tricky because my hair is so thick. But I want to find a way to make my hair have a more "choppy" look. If you find any tutorials on that let me know! I feel much braver after cutting my hair… oh you probably want to see what it looks like...

you can kinda see the layers on here my hair is just so thick and straight its ridiculous. I might even go short. You probably can't even tell I cut like 3 inches off.

Have you ever cut your own hair? Saves time and money. However I'm in desperate need of a color and I hate doing that on my own.

P.S. Vet school journey is going again we are waiting to hear back from the schools. Midwestern (in Arizona) has shown some interest in Adam. We are seeing what happens next.

Haircuts

Am I allowed to blog more than once a day?

Well I am!

Thayne is finally down for a nap and he slept in this morning so I got my chores done early!

This is my favorite.

Adam told me Thayne's hair was just too long. Next thing I know Adam is setting up shop.

He cut Thayne's hair all on his own!

This is Thayne's 5 or 6th hair cut at 13 months!

This is one way we save money. I have been cutting Adam's hair since we have been married and now

we cut Thayne's hair. This saves so much!!!

Pretty soon when I need a hair cut... well I am even going to try to cut my own.

Just to give you an idea of how much cutting your mans hair can save...

The cheapest hair cut I have been able to get adam at is $15.00 (total tip, tax, cut everything)

He likes his hair cut about every month BUT when he was paying for it he would let it grow out pretty bad.

About every 3 months. that would be 4 times a year.

4x15=

$60

Now add our now fast growing hair Thayne (I think kid cuts are cheaper.) Shall we go with $8.00?

$60+ 4x8=

$92.00

Yikes! We got our clippers for $13.00 less than one visit to the barber for Adam.

We have been using over 3 years saving us $180.00 (thats just Adam).

I have had a few friends that have been chicken to cut their husbands hair but after trying out our clippers

have been convinced otherwise. Its super easy.

Do you cut your spouses/kids hair?

What about your own?!?!?



Just another day at the Castle of Hassell

Just Another Day at the Castle of Hassell!!

Yes I actually came up with my own recipe...

"Go-go moms smoothie"

Doesn't everything here look so good???

So I made this up yesterday and it was so good I thought I'd better share it

What you need:

Blender

Quick oats (1/3 cup)

Frozen blueberries (2 hand fulls)

(or some other kind of frozen fruit)

Peanut butter (2 TBS)

(could easily do just one I just love peanut butter)

Applesauce (1 quick pour around 1/4-1/3 cup)

(I used homemade sugar free)

Banana (just 1 medium)

2% Milk (1 cup)

(could easily use soy milk)

Put them all in the blender and there you go! So yummy. And notice how no sugar was added? Didn't need it. All the fruit made up for it. Try it out and leave me a comment if you tried it.

Yum! Made enough for just me

P.S. this cup was filled I had to drink a ton then I thought I better take a picture.

Reusable Bags

I would do a tutorial on this but... there are a million out there. Just google or look it up on pinterest.

Just make sure you DON'T use PUL

I used 100% peva (bought the cheapest shower curtain you could find)

It turned out really good!

Onto us...

Thayne is 7 1/2 months and is as cute as ever

He can say, "hi" (first word)

and "ya"

he wont say them on demand but he will randomly say them its so cute.

He can roll too easy and eat Cheerios he is growing like no other as you can see in the

next picture...

we love him so much!!!

Proud parents! I told Adam I needed a new profile pic and...

Should I dye my hair blonde? I'm really thinking hard about it

I saw Rihanna's hair and really liked it.

Adam-still working away.

He treated me to the best weekend ever we got to dress up and go dancing and skiing/snowboarding.

Me-oh you know everything about me! Just living the dream!
