Thankful Thursday 10.2020 & WOTY

Howdy, quarantine queens and mask-eraders, it’s time for Thankful Thursday 10.2020.  I am linking up today with Rebecca Jo for her gratitude series, which she publishes every week. Thankful Thursdays give me a opportunity to reflect back over all the little blessings in the last month.  Most of these ‘gratefuls’ come straight from the things […]

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

Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashi Fashionistas and style sistas, welcome to My Fashion Haus 01.2021.  First 'fashion' post of the shiny new year.  And this one is a 2'fer.  Last month's fashion haus post was an 8'fer.  A real bargain because I shared 8 different looks.  Most of them started with a monochromatic base to which I added different wraps.  #FashionOver60 #HodgePodge #LifeAfterRetirement #MyFashionHaus #SIA #Styleimitatingart
Mis amigas, hello!!  Hoping to keep this Word of Mis amigas, hello!!  Hoping to keep this Word of the Year or WOTY reveal short and sweet.  Thank you for finding time in your day to spend a moment with me.  Looking at the graphic above do you have any guesses about my WOTY 2021?  Those of you who know me well are probably wondering if it could be *S*N*O*W*.  Hmmm, maybe!
