You can see a little bit of it in the trunk of my car in the picture. It’s a Betsy Johnson piece that I found years ago at Marshall’s. They had a smaller under seat suitcase that I routinely kick myself for not buying. I didn’t think I’d need it. I was looks…

As much as I try to deny it, I’m a romantic at heart. Not the ripped bodice, passionate type of romantic, but the I get caught up in novels, I imagine how things could’ve been or should’ve been type of person. I dream about alternate endings, like, what if I had chosen to accept the full scholarship to…

My sister and I turned fifty yesterday. FIFTY. Where did the time go? In some ways, I still feel like that young mom looking around for the adult in the room and realizing she is me. Do you remember that feeling? It’s not that I thought I’d wake up on the day of my fiftieth and magically have…

Hey, how are things in your neck of the woods? As usual, I’m getting this post up late, but at least it’s on the correct day. This was a hard post to write… Not because I don’t have favorites, but because it was hard for me to narrow it down. I tried to spread the love across a…

How are y’all doing? I’m still flying high — my son and daughter surprised me with a weekend visit. We were trying to figure out how long it has been since we’ve all been under one roof {it has been over 5 years}. My oldest and youngest kids couldn’t make it, but it will happen.…

Where Bloggers Live: My Blogging Inspiration
Funny story: my blogging buddies had a whole email chain about how we’re last minute bloggers but we were going to make deadline because *dang it* that’s what we do annnnnnd I didn’t. Not because I’m a slacker but because I’m a slacker. Haha I sat down at this computer six different times last night and every single time, I got up and got distracted by random shiny object until this morning when I audibly groaned and said “I’ve done it again. I’ve missed the deadline.” Y’all, I’m not like this IRL. I’m a stickler for deadlines. I’m the person who shows up to meetings 15 minutes early and gets…

Where Bloggers Live: Childhood Memories
This is one of the few pictures of my sisters and me that exist of our time in Italy. I used to wear the heck out of those suspenders, I even had a matching baseball cap that I wore when I was feeling particularly snazzy. And that watch? It had the words to Cyndi Lauper’s “Time After Time” written across the face. I used to save up my money {I worked at the base post office} so that I could buy a new watch every month – I was a big fan of the Pop Swatch. I still have a thing for watches, but I mostly wear my Apple watch…

Where Bloggers Live: Travel
Hey, how are ya? Things are going well I’m my side. I haven’t been up to much… I added some new plant babies to the family {you can see them here, here, and here}. I keep trying, y’all. I’m not good with plants but I love them so much. They remind me of my dad — he kept our house full of plants when we were kids — and I’ve been missing him so much lately. This time around, I’m taking the time to learn about my plants and figure out what they need. I’m following several plant parents on Instagram as well {that’s where I got the idea to…

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…
