Track 2: Gray Hair, WTF!

Track 2: Gray Hair, WTF!

Mood: Annoyed

Hello listeners!  (Well, readers, but I'm sticking to the Mix Tape theme).  Who in their 40's would be completely gray if you didn't color your hair every 4 weeks?!  I hate my hair, it's the thing about my body I like the least, which being a mom of 3 in her 40's isn't awful, but I hate my hair.  It's thin, it won't style, it gets frizzy but won't curl, I think it makes me look older than I am.  

I'm annoyed because it's time to color my hair.....again, and I hate coloring my hair.  I don't go to a salon to actually relax and enjoy the process.  I just buy a cheap hair dye box from Walmart and annoyingly color my own hair in my small bathroom.  I complain about coloring my hair, but then I complain about my hair looking too gray.  

My kids' grandma still colors her hair and I can't be grayer than grandma!  Or can I?

Alright ladies, who has gone fully gray and loves it?  I need all the advice on how to slowly transition into full gray because each time it comes times to color my hair, I get closer and closer to making the jump to just be gray.   

Who colors their hair?  Who just goes gray?

Track 1: Life is a Mix Tape

Track 1: Life is a Mix Tape  Mood: Happy(ish) Welcome to The Mix Tape Mom!  While I am sure I have zero audience right now, I'm the mom behind the mix tape.  The point of this blog is to talk about all the mixed emotions I have as a 40 something year old and reach out to other moms and wives and friends who are dealing with the same happy moments and sad moments while trying to keep the angry moments at a distance.  If you are in your 40's, born in the 80's but raised in the 90's then......same!   In the past 4 plus decades I have seen enough things to write about.....mostly good things, but some things that I would have liked to skip over.  A Mix Tape today is a foreign thought because it's just a playlist, it doesn't carry the same impact it did in the 90's.  We listen to our Spotify or Apple Music playlists, but who actually curates the list by hand anymore?  Remember when we would have to think hard about what songs we were going to put o...

Track 5: Youth Sports

Track 5: Youth Sports Hello Readers!  Today's topic is Youth Sports....do you love them or hate them?  This is such a hot topic on community pages because it seems like the amount of youth sports your child is involved in, somehow is a badge of honor for the parents.  I don't get it!   Our family is heavily involved in sports with two of our kids still playing youth sports.  We are involved in multiple sports over here, including football and boys basketball (neither of these are at the youth level, our son is in high school and only plays for his high school team).  We also play volleyball (at the local recreational level), basketball (at the local/community travel level), and softball (at the slightly bigger travel level).  I love that my kids play sports, it teaches them life lessons well beyond the court, field, and diamond, however the amount of money and time that youth sports are costing families is ridiculous.   My 13 year old da...

Track 6: Vinted - Selling Made Easy

 Track 6: Vinted - Selling Made Easy Hello readers!  Who else has laundry that somehow multiplies by the day and then you realize that you are washing clothes over and over but your kids aren't even wearing them?  I swear, if my girls don't wear clothes anymore, they wind up on their bedroom floor and then when it's time to do laundry again, they just toss the items back into the washing machine!   We used to donate clothes by the trash bag full to Goodwill and I still will on occasion and will definitely donate gently used household items, however, thanks to Vinted's Marketing Team, my girls were drawn to their commercials.  They love the girl dancing in her new (to her) cowboy boots and the little girl playing the drums while **cha ching** noises are playing.  The commercials got us interested in the app and my 11 year old daughter took the initiative to start selling some of her clothes through the app.  The app is very user friendly.  It ...
