About Leslie Roberts Clingan

I am an aspiring blogger and children's author, wife, mother, daughter, sister, - in-law, responsible pet owner and recently retired elementary school librarian. I hope to figure out the next chapter of my life as I transition from crazy, busy work world onto totally idle retirement and now to something in-between.

    I see some Chick-fil-A with that skeleton and candles. What’s your fav food from there? Mine is the grilled wrap.

      I love their salads at Chick-fil-a and those little mini nuggets in the biscuits for breakfast. Mmmmm.

    Ahhh!! I am doing a 24 hour fast today (I started my fast after dinner at 5pm yesterday and will fast until today at 5pm and probably do soup and a salad for a light dinner) and that Chick Fil A looks SO good right now!!! Ahhh! I guess I’ll enjoy my herbal tea and wish I had that right now to eat. LOL! Beautiful photo… love the dark colors with the contrast of the lighter shades from the ghosts in the fabric/blanket and candles. As Kellyann said, it makes Chick Fil A look romantic!

Hello!

graphic tee

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...
