My 2020-2021 Winter Bucket List

My 2020-2021 Winter Bucket List

Santa’s helpers, thanks for joining me for my 2020-2021 winter bucket list reveal.  Called it my 2020-2021 winter bucket list because I am not sure if this is the winter of 2020 or the winter of 2021.  Winter officially starts on 12.21.2020.  But then it runs through 03.20.2021.  More of the season is in 2021 […]

Your 2020-2021 Winter Bucket List Invite

Frosty-weather friends, going to keep this short.  Just want to extend this winter bucket list invite.  I will be sharing my winter bucket or activity or fun list on Monday, 12.21.2020.  Not sure how that list is going to look as life in El Paso is still pretty well locked down.  But I am afraid […]

My Winter Bucket List: Final Update 03.2020

Welcome friends, guess what I forgot to do?  A final update post for my winter bucket list!  Am I getting old and forgetful or what??  I usually attach the final update and tally of my progress on the former season’s list when I reveal the new season’s bucket list.  But I was scrambling so to […]

My 2019 Winter Bucket List, Update 02.21.2019

Sweet friends, welcome! Winter is winding down…supposedly, according to Punxsutawney Phil…even though we have a winter storm approaching.   Which might just be a whole lotta wind!  Not to be confused with hot air.  Because so much of the northeast and midwest is still buried under snow with more on the way, I’m not too sure […]

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!
