High Five for Friday

next
Rainy Day Navy

It just felt right to link up for High Five for Friday this week. After all, I’m in the same state as my sister again!

ALL IS RIGHT IN THE WORLD.

I’m visiting her, and my family, this weekend in Chicago + chicagoland area. She and my mom are throwing me a shower, which is very sweet. I can’t wait for it! 

It was a busy week, but a good one at that.

1. Many of you said such nice things about my haircut from this post. Thank you! I feel much happier at this length and think I’m going to maintain a mid-length (what I currently am) for probably the rest of my life. 



2. I only have 2 more weeks behind the chair in the studio. I don’t think it’s really hit me that this chapter of my life is closing, but perhaps it will when I’m cleaning out the studio. I’m planning on writing a little reflective post on the past 10 years as a hairstylist. 

On that same note, I have developed a complex over what I should identify myself as. For 10 years, when someone would ask “what do you do?” I would say, “I’m a hairstylist” and that would naturally lead into a conversation about the worst haircut they ever had.

But now, well in two weeks, I’m no longer “officially” a hairstylist. I mean, I’ll still have my license and all that, but it won’t be my job. My job will be blogger. Until December, when I say I’m a stay at home mom. And while I’ll be blogging still, and that will still be a job, I don’t know if I’ll identify myself as that when I meet a new person. 

Sometimes I’ll meet people that have no clue what the blogging world is. And that’s fine, don’t get me wrong, but the reaction I get when I tell them I write a blog is like watching someone tell a joke that you already know won’t be funny. 

“ohhh, a blogger? Like, you write a little blog?” asked in a high pitched demeaning tone.

“yes, it’s a hair and beauty blog.” I reply.

“cuuuuuuute. no, that’s cool. My aunt blogs too.” and their eyes give me the ‘up down’.

mmmmm yeah you don’t really get it I think. 

I guess for the time being I’ll just say, “I’m a stay at home pregnant lady” and that should be sufficient. OR I could get creative and really freak people out: I stay home and watch cats all day. I’m a cat babysitter 24 hours a day in my home. I’m a housekeeper for a home with a few cats. 

That should alienate them enough so they don’t ask any more questions and just accept me for who I am. 


3. I carried 24 of the most delicious cupcakes I’ve every tasted from Raleigh to Chicago yesterday. My friend Julia is an incredible, incredible baker and makes these scrumptious treats. My life was forever changed when I sank my teeth into one at my baby shower a few weeks ago. 


Time stood still. All the conversation around me went silent. My tastebuds were erupting with joy and shouts of elation. I closed my eyes and savored every moment of that cupcake. And when I returned to earth from this out of body experience, I thought to myself, “that was the best cupcake I have ever eaten”. 

My mom had one as well and it took us just about 20 seconds to decide that we needed Julia to make cupcakes for my second baby shower. 

She kindly agreed and sent me on my way with perfectly packaged cupcakes that were in mint condition by time I got them to my parent’s home. 



Is it a little high maintenance to travel with 24 cupcakes? Sure. But you would do it too if you tried one of these.

4. My parents are very excited for their first grandchild, and my sweet mom set up a tiny nursery/grandchild room in their home. 


That’s my old crib (she’s getting a kit to convert it to a safe, updated crib. no worries.) and that little rocking chair to the right was in my bedroom as a child. She hung photos of my brother, sister and I as babies on the opposite wall. It’s such a cute room. I can’t wait to bring the baby home one day and lay him down in my old crib. This whole pregnancy has truly felt like such a gift from the Lord. 


5. I wrote some articles this week over on babble that you may want to check out:

Am I the only one who doesn’t love this mascara?

Some beauty products that are NOT worth the hype!


How to hide your grey roots between appointments


Have you started thinking about Christmas yet? Here’s a great list of beauty products to buy your sister/friend/mom.



Don’t kill me but I don’t have a tutorial ready for Monday. I’M SORRY. If I travel on a weekend, the opportunity to film goes way, way down. I’ll get one up as soon as I possibly can! 

Enjoy your weekend!

It has been a joy watching your pregnancy on this blog. You are such a beautiful, genuine person. My tween daughter also loves your hair tutorials! I was a labor nurse for 10 years before I decided to stay home with my daughter. I have never regretted my decision. We have a sweet, beautiful, kind-hearted girl who loves the Lord. But it is hard to lose your identity. God will place things and people in your life to fill the void left when you leave your job. The best identity I have ever had is mom. And that will never change. Blessings! Susan

Congratulations on all the exciting events going on in your life! I love that you share them with all of us. And hey, my job actually is a cat babysitter! (I take care of dogs, too….but don’t tell the cats! They’ll get mad!). I own a pet sitting business, so I to go to my client’s homes and take care of their pets while they’re away….it’s like I have 100 cats to love on, but I don’t have to deal with their fur on my furniture! (I also recently bought 2 shirts with cats on them and thought of you…but I justified the purchases because of my career field, not because I have a slight obsession with cats, lol!).

Being a Mom is the most important job you will ever have. I think it is the most rewarding and also the hardest job. I was a working full time mom with my first. When my second came along (10 yrs after my first), we decided it would be beneficial for me to stay home. We caught a lot of flack about it and still do from family, strangers. But, as I sit here typing this and my 3rd his home sick from school today and I can be here with him, I know it is worth it. I wouldn’t trade all the time I have had with my kids for anything. I love being home when they get home from school to hear about their day. To be here when they are sick. To be there for all the little things and all the “firsts” in those first years.

Ah! I had no idea there were such things as kits to convert old cribs to safe ones.. My dad has saved my crib from when I was a baby through 8 houses and 4 states for me to have but we recently decided it wouldn’t work because of the safety issues. Do you know what kit she is buying?? If you could find out, that would be so wonderful. I was so upset when I realized I wouldn’t be able to use my old one. Now you’ve given me hope!

Reply
Kate says · 10.11.13

I don’t know which one, but google “drop side crib coversion kit” and you’ll probably find something!

Reply
elliesam says · 10.16.13

FYI – that crib in the picture, one of the old ones, is actually pretty darn safe. Since it has that metal rail that goes right down through the drop-side, that thing isn’t going anywhere. I wouldn’t worry about it too much as long as everything is put together nice and tight. The UNsafe drop-side cribs are the newer ones, that just have these flimsy plastic rails that hold the drop side on. It’s totally not the same thing as the way they used to make them. My parents use my old crib from 40 years ago for their grandchildren now and it’s so cool to see. 🙂

So sweet of your Mama to set up a nursery. My mom has been SUCH a huge help since my son came along (1 year ago today!). Even if she just comes over to give him a hug & do a few dishes, it’s so sweet & helpful. Mom’s are the best.

Question for ya: would you say Revlon’s 16 hour eye line is comparable to Stila’s smudge stick in charcoal? I always think that looks great on you, but just don’t want to pay that much for an eyeliner.

You should just tell people you run an online business. If they ask more you can explain how you write about lifestyle/beauty and make how-to beauty videos. It describes blogging without adding a word in that they might have negative connotations with.

I am SOOO proud to tell people I am a ‘ stay at home mom’, there is no harder job, than to raise a beautiful family. I would not trade my position for any other in the word, and no amount of income. yes, I feel very blessed that I can do this, I know many families have to work, and I know how blessed I am. Yes, as a family we have to make some sacrifices for me to be able to do this, but again, I would rather for go a vacation and other stuff to see my littles ones faces when they come home home from school with a slew of stories to tell me about their day. I know this is not for everyone, and i totally believe if you do whats best for your family, no matter if you are working at home full time, outside the home, whatever you choose 🙂 so, kate, you will love been you, no matter what you do!!

People are so snotty about blogging and about being a SAHM. I like the cat babysitter idea. Maybe tell them you’re teaching cats to speak mandarin chinese. That will really get them away from you fast 🙂 Who cares if some radom person approves of your decision.

Have a great weekend at your baby shower! You’ve peaked my interest with the cupcakes. I’m all about the cupcakes.

I’m reading this in between flipping a million batches of pancakes for my kids’ breakfasts next week, thinking that it is such a blessing to stay home and be a homemaker. I am a college graduate, 33 years old with three kids, and there is nothing I’d rather be doing in all the world. Staying at home isn’t exactly in vogue right now, and there isn’t a lot of respect in our culture, but you won’t regret making the decision. Congratulations!

I have two cats, I blog (sort of, not like you, as very few people read it LOL), and I stay at home (my son is 6). When people ask me what I do and I say “housewife” I get all kinds of crazy reactions! Then they ask what I do all day, so I answer with “whatever I want”. That shuts them up. Hooray for crazy cat ladies!

As for the cupcakes: My brother recently moved from Nashville where they have, in my personal opinion, the best cupcakes in the world from The Cupcake Collection. The are seriously devine. Well he moved back home over 600 miles to Tulsa. With 24 cupcakes (7 flavors), because I demanded he couldn’t leave the state without them. So no, It isn’t high maintenance. LOL!

I loved reading this. I recently just quit my career in advertising to focus on my blog and it has been such an identity crisis. I don’t know what to answer when people ask what I do. And when I answer “blogger” I get an even more odd response than if I say “I don’t know.” It is a huge transition, but a very fulfilling one. You’re chasing your dreams and will soon be giving all your love to a little one. Embrace the change, dwell in it – you’ll get a new norm and it will be better than you ever even imagined!

Oh, and I think it’s worth saying your hair cut is AMAZING!

I never knew they had safety kits to update cribs?!! My mom keeps our old crib at their house for my nephews. That poor crib is 36 years old and a death trap! My parents used it for all 5 of us and only by the grace of God did we make it through childhood with all our fingers! It has metal springs and clips all over. I will definitely be researching this safey converter kit before we have kids! ha

Reply
elliesam says · 10.16.13

The problem with drop-side cribs is not the old ones. It’s the newer ones from just a few years ago with the stupid flimsy plastic rails. The old ones (like mine from 40+ years ago) have that wonderful metal rail going right down through the drop side. Those suckers aren’t going anywhere. 🙂

I love your hair too. I work in an office now, but I was a stay at home mom for 11 years and even though I did A LOT of different things during those years when ever someone asked me or when I had to fill out some official paper that asked Occupation?

Because of all of the jobs I did it was the most important and the one I love best 🙂 Side note- I did my first triathlon this year at age 47 thanks to your blog post and encouragement- Thanks 🙂

I’ll add one to the pile here about blogging. Clearly I’m a blogger too, but I’m also a medical student. I kept the blogging thing a secret for a couple of months and now it’s slowly getting out and I feel so weird about it. Like…having to explain that it’s really like a part time job for me, except I’m the boss and I get to do it all myself. For those who don’t have experience with blogging, it’s weird to be like “yep, I take pictures of myself, and then people come read it and I get money and it’s cool” and they’re just like…mmmkay crazy person. go study anatomy. anyway, I think that you’re one of the biggest “normal” bloggers out there, and those people who all give you up and down probably have at least one of your pictures on their pinterest board and may not even know it 😉

If you’re able to actually make a living as a blogger, there should be “professional” in front of the title of blogger. I have a blog, but it’s little and I do it once a week if I’m lucky and I’ve made a total of 45 cents off it. It’s like a guy who plays basketball in his driveway claiming to be a basketball player. He can’t make a living at it! LeBron James, on the other hand, is a PROFESSIONAL basketball player. So I think you can safely call yourself a PROFESSIONAL blogger. Or something like that. Maybe there needs to be a PBL (Professional Bloggers League). Then the average joe would know the difference. 🙂

So I’m curious to know how Julia packaged your cupcakes. I have a Food Network plastic set that I use for transporting dozens at a time for friends, church, etc. If I sell them, I usually send them off in a plastic clam shell bakery-style container, but I doubt that would hold up on an airplane flight!

I linked over to read your article about the Benefit mascara, and agree 100%!!!! I’m glad to know I’m not the only one who doesn’t love this mascara. In fact, it clumps terribly on my lashes. Years ago, Loreal made a mascara that I believe had some type of oil in it which gave it a flawless finish. It was advertised as a more natural look. While it did not give a lot of volume or extended length, it gave a beautiful, smooth finish to my lashes. Unfortunately, they discontinued it. Hope you have a great weekend with your family!

Hi Kate. Congrats on everything! It is totally exciting and scary. Just to share my own (quick story), I quit full time teaching as a college professor (PhD in Math) and now stay home, part time adjunct teach. I learned a new culture as a stay at home mom (aka SAHM) so I redefined it and tell me my job is a “SAHM = Stay At Home Mathematician”. This is just one season of my life, my degree and experience will still be there, who knows what is next but for now, I am hanging on for the ride! (with 2 young boys)
Thank for you helping to inspire me amidst the rough and tumble of my days,

Let’s get something straight. You are both a hairstylist and a blogger. (And soon to be stay-at-home mama.) Just because you’re not standing behind a chair a jillion hours doing hair doesn’t mean you’re not that anymore. Are you seriously going to stop all hair-related things like advising people, showing us cute styles, etc. just because you’re not behind a chair? Yeah, probably not.

So no disempowering context. You provide such amazing advice with humor, warmth and grace, and -anyone- who gives you a snarky “Oh, you’re a *cough* blogger?” simply doesn’t know you and is saying that based off their own experience that really has nothing to personally do with you. To answer the question “What do you do?” I’d suggest something along the lines of “I do so many things. I have a lifestyle blog where I get to share all my experience as a hairstylist with people all over the world. I’ve found that I get to demystify how to have great hair with ease and it’s been so successful that I’ll get to keep doing that AND get to be home to raise my son. You should check it out! It’s at thesmallthingsblog.com.”

Bottom line, you are too awesome to have anyone else’s icky stick on to you. Rock on, Kate. And, very cute haircut btw. 🙂

I had an appointment at the salon yesterday. I brought the blog post showing the Clavicut & requested it from the stylist (whom I had never been to before). She looked at the pictures but didn’t read the text. I asked her if she would like to read the directions & she said no. Pretty soon she was snipping away & it was getting shorter & shorter! I told her to stop!!! Needless to say, I am SO disappointed that my haircut did not turn out as I had intended. It’s a cute cut – but it is WAY TOO SHORT

I’m absolutely in love with your blog. I love reading everything you write about. I have been trying to duplicate your hairstyle though, but can not find a stylist around my small town that can do it. Which means they have No idea what they are doing. But I have taken in numerous pics of your hairstyle and told them this is what i want. And it’s always wrong. Do you have any suggestions on where I should go that I can actually get it right? I live in Ahoskie, NC and it’s extremely tiny so I don’t mind going out of town to find the right stylist. Thanks in advance. [email protected]. Thanks again, Ashley

I wasn’t working for a few months before my first baby was born and struggled with what to call myself, too. I was explaining that to a friend one day and she started introducing me to people as a “stay-at-home mom in training”, which I thought was so cute for that in-between time!

your clients have to be besides them selves…??? :/ i can relate, my very best friend does my hair, but i havent been very happy for some time and never knew how to deal with it,,,its my BFF!! I wish i had made a rule that i wouldnt use friends in this kind of matter, its to hard to be objective, you know??? hence, it did some to a head, and i will be seeing a new stylist on saturday…going with the idea that maybe its ME, i’m too critical…stay tuned!
Will you do hair on the side?? good luck to you, youre gonna have a blast!! 🙂

I wasn’t operating for many months before my initial baby was born and struggled with what to decision myself, too. i used to be explaining that to an admirer in the future and she or he started introducing ME to individuals as a “stay-at-home mammy in training”, that i assumed was therefore cute for that middle time!
