The Bright Eyed Brunette

 Happy Tuesday! I have been trying a few new things lately and I thought I'd share them with you guys in case you want to try them too! Beauty I have recently come to the conclusion that I am getting old (gulp) and while I'm not ready to go full-on gray with my hair, I am trying to slow up a little on the coloring because I just feel like the last time it made my hair extremely hard.  I have seen a ton of advertisements for root touch up products and thought I'd give it a try.

My mom brought Trey and Makena their Easter treats. You're never too old for treats! Makena was helping Boone get familiar with the chickens.
