After days of chilly drizzle, the sun broke out and gave the Hayley Household a bit of a surprise…spring is on the way!!! Look at these lovely little buds on one of our trees in the backyard. But the weather’s also wreaking havoc on my hair. I finally gave up and went with the tousled […]

Blame It On the Rain…
Have you ever had a morning where your hair will Just Not Cooperate? Monday morning, it was as though my hair laughed at the thought of hair products. Rebelled when the hair dryer and straightener were brought near. It was not a good day. So I gave up. I took a laissez-faire approach and let […]

I know it’s just a matter of time before I lose the heel completely. I can’t bear to give these shoes up. They are my absolute favorite pair. Thank […]
Happy Toes, Happy Heart!

That toe eventually became known as Gibraltar Toe. The name certainly didn’t refer to my toe’s Herculean-strength, but to its sheer size […]
