I'm Doing It (Just Call Me Baldie)

I told my husband that I was either going to shave my head or get a tattoo. As it turns out, I'm just going to do both.



This is the longest my hair has been in years, since before my wedding. And I'm going to shave it all off for cancer research. :) If you're willing to donate, or just want to learn about it, please click on the link below. My goal is $1,000, so I guess we'll see, right?

Hair grows back. And I like to see this as an adventure, a walk with God and really seeing how much my husband loves who I am and who I'm becoming. ;)

  1. That's a great picture of you guys. How come Steve and his siblings look NOTHING alike?

    Also, kudos for taking the shaved head plunge. I think it will be a look that suits you! Keep me posted.

  3. That is awesome!! Not sure if I'd be that brave, but maybe for such a good cause...

    Thanks for stopping by today! And by the way, my cupcakes look totally wimpy compared to yours.

  4. Thank you for doing this -- it makes such a difference to those of us with children "in the fight." And St. Baldrick's is a fabulous and well-respected organization. Over the past five years, it has funded more research into childhood cancer than any other entity except the US government (more even than the National Cancer Society whose efforts center mostly on adult cancers). I have watched many women shave their heads at St Baldrick's events and they often look stunning bald. Bravo!!

  5. Oh and you can pick kids from the profiles on the St B's site to "honor" with your head-shaving. My Austin is there.

  6. HAHAHAHHAA! Why doesnt this surprise me? My cousin shaved her hair, it was almost down to her waist, in support of her friend who was having chemo.
    have you decided on what tattoo you are getting yet?
    Almost at the counting down that days part. Cant wait to see you.
    love you.

  15. WOW! You are brave, I have a male friend doing this, I don't think I could! I did cut off 11 inches and donate it to Locks of Love, but I don['t think I could do bald....it wouldn't be a good look!

  19. I'm a breast cancer survivor, and while I was going through chemo, my youngest sister cut her hair super-short in support of me! (And of course, she was super cute!) Hair loss was almost worse at the time than my mastectomy. (I was only 27, and couldn't believe I had to go through cancer treatment!) My hair grew back, curly! It didn't stay curly, though! :( Thank you for your bravery!

    And thanks for stopping by Lemon Drop Pie yesterday. I appreciate it!
