Cuter hair. Cuter outfit.












Katie lost her “Class of 2030” shirt…and her desire for a cute first day outfit! And I’m so glad I got her a nice haircut yesterday so she could put it in a ponytail.





These are the two LipSense colors I tried today. I started with Dark Pink because honestly it’s not my favorite… But I ended up liking the resulting photo better than Velvet!!

That just goes to show you that even when you think you don’t like a color, it can totally surprise you. So try the colors you aren’t sure of and you just might find a winner!
Or rather, a trim. She freaked out every time I called it a haircut because she DID NOT want it short. I assured her I just meant a trim.

Owen ran into a few friends in his math classroom!

Katie has the same teacher for fifth grade that Owen did (Mrs. McCowen).


We took Olive with us!

And she got a pup cone!



She doesn’t care where you are…


I’m moving slow today…my back hurts for some unknown reason (guessing it’s just one of those “I’m old” things since I didn’t do anything to aggravate it) and it was all I could do to get out of bed. It feels like my back is going to go out at any moment so I’m moving extra cautiously because I. DO. NOT. WANT. THAT.
Anyhoo, I decided to do some of my fave natural earth tone shadows today (Sandstone Pearl Shimmer and Copper Rose Shimmer) so that obviously called for Broadway Bronze LipSense (out of stock Limited Edition, but I still have some). It’s one of my all-time faves.




Tonight the four of us went to Chicago to see comedian Dave Attell. I wasn’t really looking forward to it (long story) but I ended up having fun!



We cleaned up her toys and then covered them to try and hide them. Ha.







And playing with her bestie, Honey!



Kiss My Sass should totally be MY color because the name is TOTALLY me. I mean if you know me, you get what I’m saying. (My business is named Living Lippy after all — because I’m sassy aka lippy!)

But in full transparency, I know this isn’t my best color…but I can still wear it and feel okay in it! And now that I’ve redone the photo, it’s out of the way and I won’t need to do it again!
Happy anniversary to my lobster—21 photos for 21 years! I wouldn’t want to do this life with anyone but you.


And then I realized our marriage is old enough to drink today!


Trying to take an anniversary pic before we left for dinner with Anna and David and we had two photobombers! And I caught Tom mid-scowl.

And we left the kids home with this:

Omgggg it’s sooooo much better than I remembered! I guess that’s the problem with personally owning about 40 colors and having access to all the other ones!

This might be my new favorite color… but stay tuned, because I’m going through and redoing all my LipSense photos and I’m sure to find other favorites I’ve forgotten about.






I surprised the kids and took them out for lunch today!











I had to wash her hair myself today because she said it’s been about a week since she did it. Ugh kids. (She also wanted to wear LipSense today so she’s wearing Sunshine with Diamond Kiss gloss.)

But look how cute they are?!

I found this text on Katie’s phone tonight during one of our regular random checks.
