Little Letters, 08.2018

Morning glories! Haven’t done a Little Letters post since May, which you can read here. Truth be told, I could just recycle a couple of that month’s letters for this edition, Little Letters, 08.2018, and call it a day. Yup, we are still struggling with our pool issues. But what fun would that be? So, […]

My Fashion Haus: A Pinned It and Did It Look for Create28 Day 20

Fashionistas, welcome! Spent the morning in My Fashion Haus (which is actually our upstairs guest bedroom), playing dress-up and photographer for my “Create28” prompt ‘Pinned It and Did It’.

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...
