Oh my word. Blowing the thick dust off my blog, this morning! I feel sad when I can’t get to blogging, because I enjoy it so much, but it’s just one of very many things right now that has had to be put on the back burner. So much going on, I just can’t get
Giving Thanks in All Things
Oh, good morning! So, we just got back late Sunday night from spending an ENTIRE WEEK PLAAAYING down in SoCal. We finally did Disneyland as it should always and forever be done: one day on, one day off. It was perfect! The hotel we stayed at had a fun, heated water park and pools, so the kids
Holiday Glow
I’m tellin’ ya, a cozy cardi is the clear winner this holiday season. It’s the perfect topper that takes the prim, perfect, I’m-trying-too-hard-ness out of a look. Aaaaand it’s super comfy and warm!! I paired one (my personal favorite) with a glowy, glam look that I’m in love with. Hope it lends some good holiday
Casual Holiday Style
I love holiday style that doesn’t look like it’s tryyying to be. Enter: the sleek, cozy cardi. Layer over some simple, casual staples, add a pop or two of scarlet, and you’ll be all like, what? I woke up like this casual-holiday perfection. If you need something a tad dressier, try pairing some dark, no-rips, skinnies like

All American
As we were settling into our row last Sunday, my youngest swished my skirt, gave me a squinty-eyed once over, and then said, “You look like that American Girl doll.” Still not clear if he thought that was a good or bad thing? I never know with him. So, here I am in all my
Sweater Weather with Lilla P
Happy Saturday! It’s a cold, windy, rainy day here – perfect for staying in our pjs all day, and cozying up by the fire (which we are totally doing). My absolute favorite kinda weekend!! Hope you’re enjoying your kind of a perfect one, too.:) I’ve partnered with Lilla P once again for this post! I
Go in Pink
Kindness. It’s so simple, so easy to show and give, and goes such a very long way in encouraging others. And yet, in this vast, mobile-social world in which we daily interact, kindness is so very rarely seen. This is not a social media bashing – there are many wonderful things I love about social
