Where Bloggers Live: My skincare routine
Hi, how are things? Wondering what I’ve been up to? Well, my friend Kristin {Chicken Librarian} and I brought back our Coffee and a Pie Chat series and, let me tell you, we’ve already made two incredibly delicious and easy pies. Plus, the TikTok shop convinced me to buy the cutest barrel dress, and I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be my new uniform. They have so many colors and all of them are good. Annnnnd I wrote a new post… THE PROMPT: My skincare routine To be honest, I never really had a skincare routine until recently. And the only reason I have one now is because I stayed at…

My Summer Vacation: Part 1
Hi, I just wanna give you a head’s up, this post is photo heavy. I don’t have a lot to say except I cannot wait to go back for a visit and I’m hoping it’s in the fall because I cannot imagine how beautiful these spaces are with the changing leaves. On the day we visited, everything was covered in the most mysterious, yet beautiful fog. I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, hanging with your adult children and realizing that you like the people they’ve become is a whole nother level of momming. This is the first time that I’ve actually hung out with my son for…

Where Bloggers Live: My Favorite Thing About Summer
I’m a plant mom, have been for a very long time. I think I inherited my love of greenery from my dad, who was a plant dad. In some ways, he was a better plant dad than kid dad. Our house in Virginia had a sliding glass door and, in front of that sliding glass door, my dad had shelves of plants of all varieties. Including cacti. He used to tell us all the time not to run in the house because we might fall on the cacti and hurt one. Yes, seriously. And, one day, my sisters and I were running through the house, when one of us {me},…

Where Bloggers Live: What’s in My Bag
As always, I’m a couple of days late with my post. This time, though, I have a bit of an excuse: I was taking pictures of my granddaughter for her prom. You can see some of the pictures here, or you can wait for me to write a post {I promise it’ll be soon}. It wasn’t until a few years after I got out of the Army that I started carrying a purse. I carried diaper bags with my kids, but I kept leaving them places and would have to retrace my steps until I found them. To be safe, I’d put a bottle and a pamper in the pockets…

Blogging from A to Z April Challenge: Fancy Footwear
Something happened that I never ever believed would happen to me… I became a Crocs convert. For years, my family has been telling me that I needed a pair of Crocs. “They’re comfortable.” “They’re convenient.” “They’ve updated the styles.” But I just couldn’t do it. “Crocs are so ugly,” I’d laugh as I shook my head wildly. Then I decided to start a garden; I needed a pair of shoes that I could wear in the yard without worrying about destroying. I needed something that could stand up to rainy conditions, so I started searching different online stores and happened upon the Crocs store. And that’s where I found them.…

Where Bloggers Live: My Favorite Birthdays
When my kids were little, I used to say they were four parts who made a whole. They walked in a straight line, even though I never told them to. They crept into each other’s beds at night to watch TV or chatter long after lights out. I’d pretend I didn’t hear them giggling and they’d pretend they were sleeping every time I walked past their closed doors. Even now, we play the same game. Except I pretend I don’t know they have a group chat that excludes me and they pretend the only family chat that exists is the one with their dad and me. I love these silly…

March 10 on the 10th: Let’s Celebrate Pi!
I cannot believe we’re turning 52 today. Yes, I said “we.” There are two of me. You can see pictures of my twin sister and me here and here. Or you can read about our birth story here {Long story short: we’re 45 minutes apart, Shontel was born in the back of a police car and I was born at the hospital door}. We like to say we’re nothing alike, but I think we’ve become a little more similar as we’ve gotten older. Our style has certainly become a little more in tune. She used to be very glam, now she’s a little more eclectic. Still glam but with a…

February 10 on the 10th: Would You Rather, Valentine’s Day Edition
I’m a week late, but here it is, my contribution to this month’s 10 on the 10th, the Valentine’s Day edition. THE PROMPT: Would you rather… Would you rather celebrate Valentine’s Day at a cozy restaurant or at home cozied up in your favorite jammies? Give me a pair of cozy jammies any day. I hate being cold and going outside in February {even in Louisiana} means you may be dealing with frigid temps. I want my flannels, fuzzy socks, and a cozy blanket. Would you rather eat Red Velvet Cake or wear red velvet? If you’ve been around here before, you know I love myself some velvet {for proof,…

Vision Board Bingo: 2025 Goal Setting
Can you believe we’re a little over a week away from 2025? I feel like 2024 just flew by. I’m trying to remember all the things that happened this year and all I’m getting is a blur. A big ol’ fuzzy blur. This is not a good feeling, especially since I know I accomplished something. I had to have, right? Right? Right. Anyway, I’ve decided that 2025 is going to be different. I want to be able to look back at the end of the year and see all the bright spots. To that end, I’ve customized my iPad so that it works much like an interactive digital journal. My…
