Update, CURL-aversary and a HUGE announcement!!

So you remember how I was growing my hair from relaxed, chemically straightened to my natural God given curl?  Well, it has been a year, a glorious year with ups, downs, doubts, setbacks, highs, lows and most certainly triumph!  I am celebrating 1 year of cutting my hair super short to now realizing some major growth.  You really can't tell but if I stretched my hair out you would see bangs to the tip of my nose and almost chin length!  The process has been anything but easy and I am so thankful for the supportive listening ears of dear family and friends!  I am not sure how long I will grow my hair out?  I have a few ideas, but don't want to get to far ahead of myself.  I guess you will have to stay tuned to see.  There are days though when I feel like short is so me and why am I growing it anyway?  Then there are days when I feel that if I don't grow it then I will never know what I am missing.  Am I missing anything long hair ladies?  I mean a topknot although many months or a year away is intriguing but is it worth the wait?

In other news, the children are now on Summer Break as of yesterday!! The oldest has completed her Freshman year of High School!! Where did Freshman year go??  The time really flew by, for reals!!  Our youngest daughter is going to 8th grade and our son is going to 4th grade!!  I am in awe of how quickly this is all happening right before our eyes!!  It's fun to experience and of course bittersweet as well.


I am starting a new adventure that I have been praying about, dreaming of for a while now and I am thrilled to announce that I am a Noonday Ambassador!  I am really excited about this and can not wait to get started.  It came with a little nudge by my kids to finally sign up and so, here goes.  I am starting small with hopes of growing and developing a great partnership with the company, ambassadors and artisans over time.  I have so much on my plate, but knew it would never be the "right" time to sign up if I did not now!  So, with this said, please take a look at Noonday Collection and partner with me on this exciting journey!!

This just in....a serious Sale going on now!! Hurry before items are gone!

My kids also encouraged me to join the Instagram Community! What? Who? Me?  I know, I am the last woman on the planet to join, but since I am starting my Noonday journey it is a great time to take part!  So, if you feel so inclined, please follow me @SValdry and I will follow you back!!

Whew, I think that is all for now!  Thank you all so much for sharing with me here during all the ups, downs and inconsistent posting!  I really appreciate the you all! 

 Happy, safe Summer to you and your loved ones.
