My Samson moment

I had my hair cut yesterday - my first trip to a salon since Mollie was born. It's a very trendy cut with layers and a fringe and what I believe the hairdressing profession call 'texture'.

But there's no denying the inescapable truth: I've had a bob, the official haircut of motherhood.

Even if they don't actually go through with it, all mums will at some point think, 'Hmm, bob, now there's a style that could save me time.' Short enough that it doesn't take all morning to dry yet long enough to tie into a ponytail. Perfect!
