Who Remembers Hair Timelines?

Back in the livejournal days, hair timeline posts were a big thing. At least in the community madradhair, of which every girl was a member, right?? Anyway, I miss that, and I've just changed my hair, soooo HAIR TIMELINE!!!

This is the oldest one, from probably 2002 or 2003? I'm bad with dates.

This is from 2007. I loved that haircut.

2011, when I was pregnant and my hair was thick and long and lush and glossy and gorgeous

Then I gave birth and got a haircut in 2012!

Later 2012. I dyed it dark red for a while and let it grow again.

February and March of 2013. Still growing, trying to let my natural hair grow out and fade out the red.

Oops, I skipped a chunk of time. I had the red stripped out and was basically blonde for the rest of the year and let it grow out past my collar bones. Then in March of 2014, I cut it short again and went lavender!

After a few months of that, I started adding turquoise. This is summer of 2014.

Late Summer 2014, I went turquoise, then green, then I cut bangs again. I can't stay away from them.

Spring 2015, the hair got longer and mintier.

Pink bangs! Late Spring/early Summer 2015

In July, I bleached it all out and decided I kind of liked it platinum for a minute.

I dyed just the ends of my hair in late July, but the pink side didn't take very well. I loved the chartreuse, though.

I really missed the green, so I went back in September.

In October 2015, it was longer and mintier and I stopped touching up my roots.

Also in October, I went grass green! I really loved it, but I didn't do it again for some reason.

December-February 2016, my hair kept growing and my roots got longer. I loved the mint chocolate look. I also started wearing it in pigtails almost all the time, because it was just so unruly.

In March, I chopped it off again! It feels so much better again. I really really loved the way my color looked, including the roots, but it was time for a change.

So I went pink! I've never had pink hair before, and I had previously had bad luck with pink taking to my hair and holding. But this really grabbed and turned out SO BRIGHT! It has mellowed just a tiny bit after being washed a couple times, and I'm really loving it. I didn't have enough developer to mix up enough bleach for a good coat, so the darker areas and the back are still a bit orangey. I'm going to do a second bleaching this weekend to even it out, so hopefully I can get it to the perfect shade soon.

Okay, this was fun! Have you guys done anything fun with your hair?

Introduction!

Hello everyone!

The best way to start a blog is probably to tell you guys who I am, right? Well, I'm Brittany, a married mother of two living in southern Indiana. Here's me, for visual reference:

Here's my cast of characters, since I'm likely to mention them from time to time:

My husband Aaron:
A

My kids, Marshall and Ramona:

And our two cats, Cecil and Breadstick:

I currently work part time in the Clerk's Office doing voting/election stuff and filing/fill-in stuff in between. I've actually worked in the office for a shocking 9 1/2 years, but I've only been part time since 2014. I'll honestly probably never fully get away from there, haha! Even if we get financially stable enough that I can fully quit, I'll probably still go back to work the elections in the Spring and Fall.

During my home days, I do my homemaker stuff, plus managing my three businesses. I make polymer clay ring dishes and earrings, do custom cross stitch embroidery, and illustration, plus I bake and sell cookies on a monthly basis! I'll be talking a lot about these things, and providing a peek into my creative processes and some of my recipes. I'll actually be baking this month's cookies tomorrow and Friday, so maybe I'll try to do a recipe post while they bake. Would you rather see me talk about mint chocolate chip cookies or lucky charms cookies?

When I have time for other things, I like to sew for myself and for my daughter, quilt occasionally, do crafts, etc. I'll be talking about those things as well. I also like to think I look cute, so I'll post about my hair and outfits every once in a while. I'm also on periscope now, so if anyone wants me to do anything there, let me know!! I might use it to do a house tour, actually, so go follow me so we can do that. Here are my other accounts:
