Paris is Always a Good Idea

We celebrated our daughter’s 9th birthday this past Saturday with a Jungle-Obstacle-Course themed birthday (her idea), and then followed that up with county-fair fun after church the next day. This wore me out more than hauling, stacking, shredding logs and limbs all weekend – no lie. I could barely move yesterday. It seriously took me

Bohemian Best

So, I have a thing for embroidered anything on clothing. Always have, but now more so than ever, as I saw so mannnny embroidered pretties floating down runways for fall, this year.

New Neutrals

Say hello to my new neutrals. I’m talking pinks + tans all the way…. This color combo is pretty huge for fall, so I’m test driving it now, and lo-ovin’ it!:) I linked this top (still in stock), and my favorite shorts (back in stock, and on sale!), and some of my favorite rose gold necklaces from

Love Conquers All?

“Love not hate.” That’s the hashtag I keep seeing associated with addressing the horrors of Nice, yesterday. That’s what I see every time I see anything addressing any type of terrorist attack, and I always wonder…. what do you mean by that, exactly? Do you mean the terrorist should choose love over hate?
