My Vacation: Where Bloggers Live 08.2020

Sweet friends…welcome to this month’s Where Bloggers Live 08.2020 where I’m sharing my vacation.  Vacation? What vacation?  I’ve hardly left the house other than to go to Lauren’s to help with babies.  And pick up groceries from Walmart. I assure you there has been no vacation-having by my PC or me! Not even a staycation […]

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
