Making the Cut

Confession: Until today, I hadn't had my hair cut since I was 38 weeks pregnant. Caleb is 9.5 months old. Needless to say, it was time. David and I decided that since I wanted to cut my hair short again anyway, it would be great to cut a few extra inches and donate it to Locks of Love.

Yesterday I said good bye to my hair with a few mommy/son photos.
You may recognize this bush from this photo of me one year ago:
And today, I donated 12 inches and am well on my way to becoming my mother : ) Good thing I think she looks great!
If you're planning to make a big cut any time soon, don't forget to donate!

Congratulations!

I joke (with all sincerity) with my hairdresser that I go in for my annual haircut each year around Christmas. I have been donating my hair at (almost) every cut since I was a junior in high school... probably 7 or 8 times now. Every year I tell myself that I'm going to maintain it short, but I never do. Well, that and I don't want to pay [choke] $60 every few weeks to keep going to my stylist friend. I think once a year is about all our budget can afford!

Having short hair is so freeing - and the summer is the perfect time to enjoy it! :)

I am so spoiled, I drive about 15 miles to my hair dresser (interstate driving), but she only charges $16!

I try to go every 4 months for a trim, but it ends up being every 6 usually : ) I love that you have donated so many times! I thought it would be much shorter. Now that I know I can still keep shoulder length hair afterwards, I'll be more likely to do it again too : )
