An Arrival of a Different Kind
For several weeks I’ve been keeping my eye on the nest that mama robin created on the wreath on the front porch. Several eggs were laid and today one of them hatched. I expect the others to hatch soon and from what I read online they’ll stay in the nest for about two weeks. I’m so impressed with how perfect the nest is…I don’t even see pieces of the eggshell.
Our new arrival should be here soon. My due date is about a week and a half away, July 7th. I was checked at my doctor’s appointment on Thursday and they say I’m making progress, but obviously aren’t able to predict when baby will actually come. I’m praying for a June baby; Mom has requested June 30th and I’d be happy to oblige.Wednesday, June 10, 2009

Showered with Love
Last weekend I was so blessed to have a wonderful shower put on by Kerri, Shana, and Elizabeth. I think the delicious food was my favorite part, but the beautiful decor/theme is a close second. As you can see in the photos it was a cool, beachy theme that blended seamlessly with the color and style of the house. I seriously think Kerri needs to go into party planning.
The event was just perfect...filled with family, friends, food, and chatter. Thank you to all who attended!!

Question
So. Hairspray is a product I’ve only recently embraced. In my search for the perfect side swept bangs I’ve looked to several products including mouse, pomade, and finally settled on good old fashioned hairspray. In the past I’ve used Dove but was disappointed by its hold and the hard hair it left me with. After discussing it with my hairdresser, she said spending more $$ on hairspray can make a difference. An article in Marie Clare recommended Umberto for its affordability and hold. I was thrilled to see it stocked at Target with a price of $9.00. After spending about $3.00 on Dove it was a considerable jump, but not as much as $20.00 for products like Bed Head. I must say the hairspray itself has impressed me; however, I have had several “incidents” with the spray nozzle. One nozzle broke entirely and would only spit out a gas type substance instead of product. My current bottle sprays directly up instead of out meaning the top of my head gets product (and the ceiling) but basically nothing else.
I’m about ready to break up with Umberto, but my question is, am I going to have the same luck with another brand? Is this the plight of all hairspray users or have I discovered that what makes Umberto affordable is the crappy nozzle? Also, if I leave Umberto…where I should I go? Without Maria Clare to guide me I’m lost
