Where Bloggers Live: Top 5 Movies
The Hubs and I had guests this weekend. Friends of ours from Pennsylvania drove down to pick up our RV and take it back to Pennsylvania with them. They’re planning to use it as a guest house on their land. I mean, they also plan to go RVing, but they want it for when friends and family come to visit. Don’t you just love that idea? They live on a mountain top in Pennsylvania with a lot of acreage, so it just fits their needs. I like the idea but if I were going to do something like that, I’d want a vintage Airstream. They’re small and sleek and have…

Some of the Best Advice I’ve Received: DO THE THING
Trigger warning: a brief mention of emotional and sexual abuse. Growing up, I was an avid reader. My life was a grab bag of emotional and sexual abuse. Books were my escape. The characters were my friends. My family. Even to this day, there are some characters who are still with me. Some authors that I still turn to when I need to center. It was during a particularly dark time that I remember reading: “Do one thing in your life that will give you a good story when you’re old.” Funny thing is, I don’t remember where I read it or what character said it. I just know that…

10 on the 10th | April
As usual, I’m late. I don’t really have a valid excuse. Especially since I look forward to these monthly blogging parties. It’s so fun learning more about my blogging buddies beyond our outfits.

Where Bloggers Live: My Favorite Piece of Furniture
Hey, y’all, hey! How’s it going? Things are going well over here. The City is here, working on the sidewalk outside our house.
