Hello world!

Hello, world! This is my first post on my shiny, new blog. I am just becoming familiar with WordPress after having created and enjoyed developing a Weebly webpage for my elementary school library. I don’t have anything profound to report or expound on other than to say, thank you for joining me on this adventure.

      Thank you, love! I am overwhelmed trying to figure out this blog-ese. I think I chose a much too complicated blog creator (WordPress) because it seems I need more knowledge of HTML than I have. Ugh. But practice makes perfect, I hope!!

      OH MY GOSH! Love that you – CYNDI SPIVEY – wrote on MY BLOG! Thank you so much. You are such an inspiration to me. Just ordered Ylang Ylang and Clary Sage to rub on my feet to help get me through hot flashes. I am interested in the essential oils you recommend but need to wait til payday! Thank you so much for stopping by and for being the role model for all of us in blogland.

Hello

OOTDs and SIAs: My Fashion Haus 07.2020
In what felt like the blink of an eye, I have gone from full-time wife to my sweet husband, hands-on mom to my two beautiful daughters and elementary school librarian to a retired, empty nester with lots of time on my hands. Join me on my journey to rediscover who I am. Glad you are here...

Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashi Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashion Haus 01.2021.  First 'fashion' post of the shiny new year.  And this one is a 2'fer.  Last month's fashion haus post was an 8'fer.  A real bargain because I shared 8 different looks.  Most of them started with a monochromatic base to which I added different wraps.  #FashionOver60 #HodgePodge #LifeAfterRetirement #MyFashionHaus #SIA #Styleimitatingart
Mis amigas, hello!!  Hoping to keep this Word of Mis amigas, hello!!  Hoping to keep this Word of the Year or WOTY reveal short and sweet.  Thank you for finding time in your day to spend a moment with me.  Looking at the graphic above do you have any guesses about my WOTY 2021?  Those of you who know me well are probably wondering if it could be *S*N*O*W*.  Hmmm, maybe!
