Lesson Learned the Hard Way
Apologies for the super blurry pictures but my computer and I had a serious misunderstanding. It upgraded and eliminated the recycle box and I accepted the missing recycle box until I accidentally deleted my photos and couldn’t find them again. The Hubs retrieved my recycle box {it involved a system restore and all of that jazz}…

Polka Dot Sweater, Mustard Pants, and Black Oxfords
Hi! *waves furiously* How’re you guys doing? I’m doing well. My parents came in for a quick visit so I haven’t been spending too much time online and I certainly haven’t been taking any outfit pictures. I’ve just been relaxing and enjoying some much needed downtime with the folks. This is what I wore to work…
Orange Cranberry {walnut} Bread
For the Vaughn~Tucker Family, the holidays start when I bake the first loaf of Orange Cranberry [walnut] Bread. I started this tradition when the kids were little.
