My Little Miracles 5.23.16: Monday Moments in Gratitude Link-up

Hey, gals, Started to put an exclamation point up there after ‘girls’ but it hasn’t been an exclamation point-kind-of-Monday.

My Fashion Haus: Wearing Winter When It Feels Like Spring

My Fashion Haus: Eclectic Style for an Eclectic Lady, Come Play Dress Up with Me

Hey fashionistas! So glad you are here. It has been awhile since I did a post from My Fashion Haus. I decided, from my bed this morning where I am all snorked up with allergies, that today is the day.  Might not get dressed in much today but I am going to share what I […]

Hello!

graphic tee

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...
