Our daughter has always had super long hair. And she loves it, but every summer and whenever she sees her adorable cousins' short haircuts she asks me, "Mommy, what do you think I would look like with short hair?"  

I cannot tell you how many times I have answered, "I'm sure you'll look very cute!" And that is pretty much the end of it. However, today was THE day! We talked about it, looked at the Locks of Love website, and measured her hair.  The minimum requirement is 10 inches, she had exactly 10! I explained to her that those 10 inches would make a chin-length wig for a child in need.

Off we went to Great Clips....

This is my family's first annual Summer Bucket List! I've seen many friend's lists through the years. I finally decided to make one! I'm all about easy so I wrote ours on our chalk board wall. Cute!


We've already checked off several items! Do you have a summer bucket list?
