Title Talk 02.2020

Dear Readers, welcome to Title Talk, 02.2020.  Haven’t posted a book review since 10.2019  when I shared my review of The Girls at 17 Swann Street by Yara Zgheib.  That book was my online book club’s choice to read for October.  I devoured it.  With my ears on Audible. When I started writing this blog, […]

Title Talk, 09.2019

Sweet Readers, For Title Talk, 09.2019, I thought I would share a few of the books I’ve read over the past couple of months.  Bear in mind that I am a slow, distractible, sleepy reader, which keeps me from devouring books like so many of my blogging buddies do.  And when I find a book […]

Title Talk, 06.2019: What’s On My Nightstand

Dearest Readers, Welcome to another edition of Title Talk, 06.2019.  For a gal who started blogging mostly because she missed being a librarian and wanted to share all the good books in the world with her readers, I have drastically fallen down on the job!  But that doesn’t mean I haven’t been reading.  Through Goodreads, […]

Title Talk: Girl, Wash Your Face, Etc., Etc.

Hello readers! It’s been awhile since I’ve written a Title Talk book review post.  Going to give it a try today with a review of Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing the Lies about Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant to Be by Rachel Hollis.  And I thought my titles […]

Title Talk 10.2018 & 11.2018: Book Girl Magic Reading Challenge

  Dearest readers, Welcome to Title Talk,  10.2018 & 11.2018.  Jinxed myself in the last Title Talk post by bragging about all of the book juggling and reading I was doing.  Because just like that (snaps fingers) sometime in mid-October, I started struggling to read.  Kind of corresponded with the time we were in Phoenix […]

Reading Challenge Progress, 10.2018 & 11.2018: A Double Feature

Dearest readers, Can’t seem to get all of my blogging ducks in a row lately.  I have blogs planned in my head.  But getting them from there down through my fingertips onto to the keyboard and into a post on WordPress has been a struggle. The title of this post is the perfect example of […]

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...

This crocheted cardi or  duster jumped out of the closet begging to be shown some love today. Paired it with wide leg jeans and a blouse I saved from the purge last month. I don't wear enough red. Time to change that.
