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...

Happy Monday, 10 superstitions, wives' tales and f Happy Monday, 10 superstitions, wives' tales and family expressions...that's the prompt for October's 10 on the 10th blog post.  I grew up on a healthy diet of my mom's Ozark Mountains colloquialisms and could probably, should probably dedicate a post just to those.  Never realized until I went to college how much of my own speech reflected hers.
