Every month we are doing something around here! We enjoy surprises and showering our friends with love and goodies! Make sure you’re on our email list so we can include YOU!
I got to see some of my favorite people today! I love friends that are like family who text and ask if they can come swim. Lilah turned 9 today and wanted to swim! So of course I told them to make themselves at home!
Love my Maya, Lilah and baby Baker so much. Growing like weeds. And I’m so proud of the mom you are Maya. I’ve watched Maya grow from a 16 year old with a baby to now 26 with 2 babies!
Beautiful little life and family she has created. 🩷💙💜
Let me tell you, I have no shame in my game. I got this lumbar and seat cushion for my car for our road trips. Ummm I’m getting one for both seats. It’s quite literally the most comfortable thing ever. If you’re in menopause and have a sore tail bone like me and lower back or sciatica, this is for you!
And look at my new table for my computer to work while we drive. Or snacks. Or Bible study. I love it so much.
8 hours in the car just got more comfy and convenient. 🫶🏼
comment “car” and I’ll send you links. 🔗 or shop them on my Amazon under car must haves or my stories.
My kid went sky diving in Hawaii today. She has been talking about it for over a year. I listened but I did not believe.
But I should have known. She is my kid.
I even called Wes today for back up on how this was a terrible idea. He did not back me up. Which 1. Is complete role reversal. It’s usually me telling him to let her live. 2. He always backs me up. 🤣
So I did what any rational mother would do and I tried to talk her out of it. She in fact, DID NOT CARE.
I said “Tatum, If I saved you from diabetes (remember when she over dosed for 9 straight hours) and you die from a perfectly functional airplane I’m gonna be pissed”.
She said “mom, that’s exactly why I’m doing it”. She had a second chance at life. She refuses to be scared. He refuses to live in fear. She refuses to have any more of her life taken.
She is gonna stand up and make her life everything she ever dreamed of. Face fear. Conquer every goal and dream. Dream big. Live out loud. Intentionally.
And honestly, while I did what any good mother would do and try to talk her out of it, I was secretly so proud. I am proud. And I’m super relieved she is in one piece safe and sound on the ground and I hope she never does it again. 🤣
Her jumper guy (I don’t know what they are called) asked me if I knew. I said “yes I knew and I wish she didn’t tell me” 🤣 bc I had to work all day in complete anxiety.
But yall, this is my kid. A little bad ass loving her life showing others that diabetes will not rob her of joy. That she is going to do whatever she puts her mind to.
Now let’s conquer some things on the ground. With both feet. Even though the sky is the limit for her.
Thank you to the Freese family for taking her bc I physically could not have done that. Must be a boy mom thing. 🤣
What an incredible experience for them.
God is so amazingly good. He created that space, that ability, her and this opportunity. And kept my baby safe.
Tatum, you’re my hero. 🩵💙🩵
I wanted a new ice chest to take on road trips. But one that would also be easy to get on the boat. Or take to the beach. Or anywhere else we want to go.
So I went to @dickssportinggoods to look around and see my options. Then I spotted this beaut. Venom it’s called. Yall know I’m in my green era. So….she came home with me.
She fits perfectly in my car. I can lift her by myself. Even though my husband would never allow that. I got some matching neon @hydrojug and a cup holder for the side. I’m obsessed. 💚🩷💜🩵
Isn’t this the perfect color!???
When I reflect on 20 years of my career and how I became successful, it’s mornings like this.
My client comes 20 min late to a move up appt with all new hair and all her original hair removed.
If you’re not a stylist let me tell you. That’s about a 6 hour appt in a 2 hour slot.
But you know what? I make it happen. I don’t tell my client anything but how amazing this new hair is gonna look.
We have the best time.
I see so many stylists cut off clients, tell them they can’t take them if they are late, reschedule, make demands on the very people who choose you. Who pay our bills. Who help us put our kids through college.
I say this with LOVE. Serve your client. Even when running late. Even when they change their mind. I get you’ll have to squeeze and hustle and run behind.
But you CAN do it. Every client will need grace and you will too. So cultivate salon of opportunity not rules and I can’t.
This particular client is so good to me and my staff. We crack up at all her shenanigans. We have become great friends over the years and she always shows me how much she appreciates me.
So the least I can do is return the favor. I want to be the person that makes her hair dreams come true. I love that she will say “Adrianne made it happen”. 🫶🏼
