Thankful Thursday 06.2020 & My WOTY

Howdy, quarantine queens, it’s time for Thankful Thursday 06.2020.  I usually publish these posts on the last Thursday of the month.  But I’ve missed 2 months linking up with Rebecca Jo for her gratitude series, which she publishes every week.  And I certainly have many things for which to be grateful.  So I thought it […]

Just a reminder:  Once Upon a Time […]

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...

Let’s Be Friends

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.
