Cutting Sadie’s Hair, Painting with Chocolate, and Drawing

Sadie has been asking for a haircut for a few weeks now. She kept saying that she wanted her hair to be my length. I couldn’t find an opening at our local hair salon that worked with our schedule, so I did some research and cut her hair myself.

I think I took off about four or five inches?! I washed her hair, combed it, and then separated it into three sections. I just cut straight across for each section and that was that. She was happy with it and it looks much less scraggly at the bottom! Is it perfect? No, but it’s good enough! (more…)

Climbing the Bodie Island Lighthouse

We woke up early on our last day in the Outer Banks and booked tickets to climb the Bodie Island Lighthouse! I had seen the lighthouse growing up and even as an adult, but this was my first time climbing it.

I love visiting, climbing, and learning about lighthouses. I read The Light Between Oceans a few years ago and I still think about that book sometimes. I’ve also climbed the Currituck Beach Lighthouse in Corolla, NC and the Tybee Island Lighthouse in Savannah, GA. I definitely want to keep adding more to my list! I have seen the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse from the back of a horse, but haven’t climbed that one yet. Maybe next time 😉 (more…)
