So yesterday, I decided to go ombre! What do you think???
I wore it in a braid yesterday, and loved the mixed colors in it!
Picked up the kids from my in-laws’, and found them on a walk with their Poppy. Such a happy bunch! Even with Logan on top of W’s lap. Hey, whatever works, right?
We passed down our in-line stroller to them about a year ago, since a double BOB worked better.
One of the reasons…look at E’s legs – they could practically touch the ground!

Couldn’t help myself. Just a few more pics of the kiddos…
Love this one, of E’s little eyes!

I love your hair! I think I am going to try it now.
Hair looks great!!! I would love to know how to do this braid :). Have a great weekend!
love the hair!!! i was so just talking about going ombre on twitter a few days ago. my only drawback is my gray when it starts growing out if go back brown. ha!
Girl, I have tons of gray! So much that I have to get it done every five weeks to touch it up. That's why I went ombré instead of highlights, so when I go in to get my roots touched up, I don't have to get the highlights touched up too. Super easy maintenance.
