representin'

I knew when he asked me if 'I always wear lipstick?', that it was a good decision to take off the cute little black dress I was wearing for the day and put on a t-shirt and jeans instead... much more believable, though I usually am in dresses and yes, I wear lipstick pretty much every day.


The shot is cropped; the photographer told me to leave the banana peel, that my husband dropped on the coffee table, there, to have my kids jump up on the couch and 'do I have a coffee cup?'... I pointed to the 32 oz. Diet Coke from McDonald's and said 'I'm usually drinking Diet Coke'.

All of that stuff got cropped from this photo.

He told me to look a little frazzled, to not smile... and come on, when you tell someone to 'not smile' they want to smile. So this is what you get, a half smile.

And vanilla hair, I wish I had my blunt cut bangs back, or at least had a better view of how cute my haircut is (or at least I think, it's a vertical cut, shaved in the back, but whatever).

I'm sorry.

My look is very mommy-ish.

But perhaps that's why they put it on the cover...

I'm so happy to be included in this article with other much more fabulous bloggers, but I'm sorry that I look so much like a mom,

because we all know that us moms are way more stylish than my hair, especially mommy bloggers.

I did *not* do a good job representin'.
