The Truth about hair extensions

     You may have noticed I got myself some new hair this week. It was an investment I am not going to lie. A lot of  dollars later I have a full head of hair and not very many regrets. Nothing like hair to make you feel like a real woman. This shouldn't be the case but boy it is; I have woke up every day this week super happy to do my makeup dress up and go to the gym. Hair is SEXY we all know it even if we want to think that is vain.. truth is it just is.

     The truth is they aren't very comfortable for the most part they are a little painful. People say that the itching and neck pain goes a way in a few days but, I haven't experienced that yet. The are just a little uncomfortable.  Do I think about taking them out? Of course I do. Am I going to? Not a chance in this world. I am keeping them in for at least three months. Hopefully my hair is a little bit longer by then and I will have a few more options for my own head of hair.

    Putting them up is the easiest way to style them but, it is also horrible for the extension. So wearing them down is the way to go. I am trying to only pull them back when I am at the gym. The rest of the time curling them seems to be the way I am rocking them.

Like I said it is great having some extra length. Do I magically feel more sexy? YES I do!

Happy St. Patty's Day

    This is one of my favorite holidays of all time. Growing up as a Obray it was just part of the family tradition. You would wake up to corned beef hash and mid day have corned beef and cabbage. It was one of the few family traditions. When I was young we didn't have a lot of traditions the ones we did have were kinda without any direction.
    When I started my own family I didn't understand what we were missing until I became remarried. Now I am looking forward and realizing that I want my family to have many traditions. I want my family to have the memories I have lack of my childhood. The blogging world has shown me what traditions can bring to a home.
     I am missing doing my family traditions today but, non of our children are home so we will start making these traditions soon. Do you have any traditions that you love?

       Here is a photo dump of this week.

Time Passing.

It seems amazing that I can sit in front of my computer for weeks on end with nothing to say to the world.
I have no real excuses to my lack of ambition. Other than that lack of ambition.

The real estate market is going very well right now. Things seem to be moving forward without many problems other than lack of inventory. It seems the buyers are rushing through the doors again and yet there are no properties to sell them.  This week has brought in four offers and a lot of nothing

We took all the kids up skiing to weeks ago and oh what a blast it was. The kids did amazing I am amazed at how well everyone is skiing these days. I am almost saddened by how fast these little babies grow. I find that I look back on six or eight years ago and it was just yesterday. Yet here I am with a girl that knows what she want and normally how a pretty great idea of how to get there.  They have ideas and plans and futures ahead of them.



 I see little babies every where and start thinking that maybe I want one. Then I remember how rough it was when they were little and can't imagine adding babies into our busy lives. I wake and I feel like the to-do list is never ending. How would I fit little people back into that mold? I don't think that I will. I will continue to gaze at them lovingly and hope to babysit more often. 

Reason right now is the time to purchase!

    It is amazing how many people don't know that now is the time to sell! I know this is NOT what you have heard in the past but, they are wrong.
   The inventory is VERY low here; which means you are going to get noticed. Your home if priced right will fly off the market before you can clap your hands.
     Your home is still in winter mode there for you don't have to keep up the yard for the next month.  That is a huge perk for you!!! That means you can keep up the inside and not have to do too much to the outside.
     The buyers that are looking now are SERIOUS buyers. They are here to buy and they know what they want.

Why aren't you selling your home? Is it because of the number you saw on your tax form? I am here to tell you that number is VERY wrong. Let a professional come and look at your home and tell you what the market is doing.

I have been in the business a long time and a lot of what is happening out here will amaze you. What you hear isn't always what is under the mat. If you have been nervous about what your home is worth now is a great time to know where you stand.

weekend update

  flooding.  It has been COLD and when I say COLD I mean COLD for Idaho. We don't normally see -0 temperatures. We have always had a varitaty of temperatures ranging from the 40 to the 10 with a few days of rough zeros. Over the last month we were stuck under a large inversion that kept our temperatures very low. So low in fact that our drain for the washing machine FROZE. 
    We have spent the last few days surrounded by fans... They were horrible; loud enough that we couldn't hear to eat dinner.  Days later we had just gotten rid of them and we re-flooded our laundry room this morning. talk about craziness.

     On top of all of this I was suppose to be a FLOURISH this weekend. I was so looking forward to a relaxing weekend with a bunch of girls! Boise had a freezing ran storm on Thursday morning which led to me being stuck in Twin falls after both Boise and Salt Lake City were shut done. I never made it to Dallas or the ladies but, I did make it home to my family! Lots of weekend love!
