  • Trish · 5 months ago
    I like it! It looks great!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thanks Trisha! I'm still sooo shocked by it. It feels SO light! Crazy!
  • moose1204 · 5 months ago
    Your hair looks awesome! I love the style alot.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Aww, thanks Toni!
  • theshoppingmama · 5 months ago
    LOVE it. It looks great, Lisa. Not soccer-mommy at all. Unless you mean super hot and funky soccer mom.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Oh Kate, I shall henceforth call you my personal cheerleader. Thank you
    for making my day with that comment! ;)

    Thanks Sandyra! :)
  • Jess · 5 months ago
    I really like it! I think it looks great! And it's not that short. =) You'll enjoy the lightness and the savings on shampoo!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Oh, thank you Jess!I agree, it's gonna be nice and quick in the shower,
    however, it requires styling. Daily. It was scar-y to have not styled.
  • AmysFinerThings · 5 months ago
    I think that is a super-cute cut! Seriously! (mostly because it's a lot like mine...) ;-)
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Oooh, thank you Amy! I love flipping my hair out like yours ;)
  • casual friday every day · 5 months ago

    Thank you Nell! :)
  • mommysnacks · 5 months ago
    I love it! The layers look great - your face just has a good shape for any cut, I think {totally jealous} :)

    You have such thick hair too - definitely get a good flat iron because the shorter it is, the more likely it will NOT want to stay flat!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thanks honey! Yeah I have a big barrel curling iron, as well as a flat
    iron (gonna pull off a Meg Ryan 'do, too, I hope!) but yeah, it takes a
    buttload of styling to get looking decent (it was scar-y unstyled). Not
    used to that, but I will hopefully get used to it in time for BlogHer,
    WOOHOO 2 WEEKS!!!!!
  • amylemmon · 5 months ago
    It looks great -- I just cut all mine off too! Must be in the air!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    It IS! Either that or just a hot summer. Or we mom-to-many just can't
    stand the heat. Unfortunately mine's gonna take a lot of styling to do,
    not making my life any easier, just cooler LOL
  • amylemmon · 5 months ago
    Woops! did I hit send .... I love the layers, I did some too but shorter --- But now I can see my grays and think some nice coloring would be great! But that is too expensive and too high maintenance for me!!!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    There's an all natural hair color out there. Can't recall what its
    called but I have the boxes upstairs - was going to do my own.
  • mommycracked · 5 months ago
    You look so freakin' hot!! I love it!! work it, girl!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Oh, you're such a sweetheart Mandy! Thank you!!!
  • Stefanie · 5 months ago
    So cute! I like it! It looks a little like I did mine today too! lol
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Oh realllly? Did you take pictures, I hope?? :)
  • Stefanie · 5 months ago
    So cute! I like it! It looks a little like I did mine today too! lol
  • Cat_3KidsandUs · 5 months ago
    Ohhhh I like it! It's so not mommyish at all!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thanks Cat!! :) I woke up, ran my fingers through my hair and
    double-taked a minute LOL Whew.. this is gonna be one I'm gonna have to
    get used to!
  • Chelsea · 5 months ago
    I like it. It's really not that short.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Oh I agree in the grand scheme of things it isn't *that* short, but
    considering my hair was getting pretty long, in comparision, it FEELS so
    short, y'know?
  • coastrat · 5 months ago
    Good job! Looks nice!

    I tried to cut my own hair awhile back; it didn't turn out too well...
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you so much!
  • UPrinting · 5 months ago
    It looks awesome! Totally hip, you'll look perfect for the BlogHer conference! You have a few more days to experiment with all the different styles you could come up with this hairdo. And it's not that short, my hair is even shorter :)
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you! That's EXACTLY why I got it done so soon, to get used to it
    and play with it some more!
  • YasmineO · 5 months ago
    I LOVE it it suits you very well =]
    If i didnt have really really curly hair I would totally do something short- I love shorter hair
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you Yasmine!

    Oh I completely know what you're talking about - my first perm I did
    short. And it was POOFY ;) Have you thought about straightening it at all?
  • The OmniCouple · 5 months ago
    Looks great.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you honey! How are you feeling?
  • eve · 5 months ago
    I recently did the same thing- I love it and feel so 'mommy like' LOL LOOKS GREAT!
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you Eve! And where's the pictures of yours, Eve dear? :)
  • Steph · 5 months ago
    It looks great! Can't wait to see it in person in just 2 weeks! :)
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    WOOHOO I know, roomie! {giggle} What time do you arrive by the way?
  • jen_odbt · 5 months ago
    I like it and that is so not a soccer mom 'do.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thanks Jen! Now I've gotta get used to doing it every day. Or sleep in
    rollers, or something lol
  • michmomma · 5 months ago
    I love it, Lisa! Love those layers!! Woo-hoo, you hottie momma. =)
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Awww, thank you Jennifer, you sweetheart you! ;)
  • Midwest Mommy · 5 months ago
    It looks great! I just got a ton of layers too and now I hate the fact that I actually have to do something with them, lol
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you!! Awww, usually I get a cut that can be worn without doin
    something with 'em. This time.. not so much LOL My hair has waves to it,
    so sometimes it can be good, sometimes.. uh.. yeah ;)
  • StacieinAtlanta · 5 months ago
    I was thinking that you had a Sinead O'Connor thing going on. This is adorable!!! You look great.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    OMG Stacie LOL!! NO WAY! But it kinda feels like that in comparison lol!
    Thank you :)
  • Kristin 'Dott' Wing · 5 months ago
    that is NOT short. *I* have short hair. (And dear Lord, can it PLEASE grow faster? I hate growing out hair.) I think yours looks fantastic though! The layers look so soft and it really frames your face well.
  • BobbiJanay · 5 months ago
    I like it it looks good.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you Bobbi! :)
  • trisha · 5 months ago
    wowee, you went for it! You look gorgeous.

    trisha
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    I sure did go for it. And I'm paying for it, now :( Why did I do it
    here? Why???
  • suzannebcrunchygreenmom · 5 months ago
    I think you are beautific, you have great color, great depth and that cut frames your face and gives some life to your hair! What a brave thing to do and a wonderful idea! You don't look soccer mom-ish, you look younger and tons of fun.

    I love it.. I am now thinking I should get mine redone!

    I bet Jeremy can't keep his hands out of it!d
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    You are the biggest sweetheart EVER! I wish it was cut properly, though,
    but at least you get the idea of what its SUPPOSED to look like.
  • suzannebcrunchygreenmom · 5 months ago
    opps... I posted twice.. ick
  • Elizabeth · 5 months ago
    I like it!! Love the layers. :)
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you!! :)
  • Mariana · 5 months ago
    LOVE the new haircut!! It's so flattering. Can you tell I've been catching up on your blog today?? :)
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    Thank you! It's okay, I understand catch up (I'm in constant catch-up
    mode it seems) :)
  • Stefanie @ Mommy Musings · 5 months ago
    You are crazy! That is not short or uneven...just layered! It looks great.
  • LisaCrazyAdventuresinParenting · 5 months ago
    You're sweet, but it seriously /is/ jacked. Look at my latest post, you
    can totally see it, unfortunately :(
  • kayla · 4 months ago
