---------------------------------------

1. Would you grow your hair out to donate it?

Well, it sounds good on paper, but the reality is, my hair doesn't grow too terribly fast and I get tired of grown out hair cuts quickly, so I probably wouldn't make it.

Also, don't you have to have "virgin" hair? As in "unprocessed in any way"?

'Cuz if we're talking hair virginity, mine is sorta the class slut.

It get's a nice color treatment every 8 or so weeks and lemme tell ya, I can NOT go without that.

So, hair donation? Looks like no. But I like the idea!

2. What song makes you think of summer?

"Barefoot Bluejean Night"...LOVE that song! Already it conjures so many great memories of jumping off my parent's dock with my kids.

I love how music brings back memories so quickly...like Eric Church's "Springsteen" says, "Funny how a melody sounds like a memory"...so, so true!!!

3. Are you a flip flops or sandals kind of person?

Oh, dear. flip flops ALL. THE. WAY. I've tried Keens, but unless they're cute, dressy sandals to go with a specific outfit, I'm much more prone to be found in flippy floppies.

They are my summer staple.

And I love them with all my heart. Amen. 

4. Favorite summer treat (ie ice cream, snow cones, etc)?

Well, it's not really much of a treat, but it's definitely "summer specific" in our climate so I'll go with it...

Iced Coffee.

LOVE it.

Also, I love Bomb Pops something fierce. The flavor, yes...but mostly the TEXTURE! They're like a more solid ICEE or something. 

Do you remember slush pops? They were rectangular shaped in grape, cherry and orange flavors? Those popsicles were so yummy and had the same texture as Bomb Pops.

Mmmmmmmm...now I want one.

5. Do you do something special for the father of your children?

Well, I buy a gift for him from the kiddos, and I usually try to pick up a card from me and one from the kids as well. 

At this point in our lives, I've realized that Mother's/Father's Day isn't so much about us as it is about our parents, since our kids can't be independent in their celebration of their fabulous parents just yet.

So, for now...it's celebrations with our parents and deciding how to navigate visits with each set of parents...

Okay...I hope y'all have a fabulous weekend and a wonderful Father's Day! Don't forget to enter your Father's Day post in the Mr. Wonderfulest contest!
