I love these! The colors are great. I bet I could make a decent replica...
I promise, dear readers, that I will write something expressive and insightful sooner or later. However, looking online at hairbands at midnight is actually quite normal for me. Sometimes my life isn't as thrilling as I'd wish it would sound in my blog.

But Brooke and I did spend the day with Tiffany yesterday, exploring her hometown and learning about clogs, windmills, and cheese! She's absolutely one of the most thoughtful people I've ever met. She's always anticipating what people might need (or want, or think, or feel). I want to be more like her! She's one of those people that makes you want to love people better by the way you feel loved by her. And as I kept thanking she and her parents for the invitation for the afternoon and expressing how wonderful it was to be in someone's home, I realized the power in an invitation and the experience of hospitality. It's hard to feel more loved than when someone goes out of their way to include you in a meal, just to be with you and to share in life with you. Which is something I've been learning a lot lately...and I think will have to be the topic of my next post. Tonight I need to sleep.

Allie, where did you find this hair band place? I want to find something like it (cheaper though) for my niece for Christmas...
