Where Bloggers Live: Why Not Do It Yourself
The Hubs and I celebrated our 26th anniversary on 11 March. Yes, we got married the day after my birthday. What was I thinking? I don’t really have a story about how we met because it’s one of those stories that is best heard rather than written. And it has to be told by the both of us because we each have our own version {mine is accurate} but I like to give him space to share. However, I do have a story about how he rescued my daughter and me from a truck stop in the middle of Nowhere, Louisiana. Do you wanna read it? Click here. THE THEME:…

Where Bloggers Live: Company’s Coming
THE THEME One of the primary reasons we wanted to move to Louisiana was so that we could be close to our grandchildren and centrally located to our other kids. We wanted our house to be the gathering place. So we bought a home with 4 bedroom house with plenty of comfortable space for adults and “camping” space for kids. So far, all of our kids have visited at some point, save our oldest daughter and her family. We’re hoping that changes in the coming year. This is our guest room. Our goal was to make it comfortable and kind of hotel like. The curtains are heavy tapestry to block…

Where Bloggers Live: My Closet
When I first saw this theme, I was like, no one wants to see my closet. I mean, it’s probably the most boring room in my house. Then I took pictures and started trying to explain my organization scheme and I realized y’all are gonna think something is wrong with me. There probably is… Besides the organization, there are two things that I’m pretty insistent on: Wooden hanger for my dresses, pants, and tops Plastic skirt hangers for my skirts Every now and then, The Hubs will put a wire hanger in my closet or move something around to see how long it takes me to notice. It’s immediate. I…

Where Bloggers Live: My Vacations
Hi, and welcome to the next installment of Where Bloggers Live. I hope you’ve had as much fun reading these posts as I have writing them. At first, I was just like, yeah, that’ll be fun, but these posts have made me stop and think about my life, my community, the things I hold dear… Or maybe I’m just getting all hazy from being inside the house for months on end. Who knows? This month’s theme is “Vacation.” I wasn’t sure how I was gonna handle this because we haven’t been on vacation in months. Unless you count going to the grocery store, because, honestly, I do get dressed up…

Where Bloggers Live: My Kitchen
Hi, and welcome to my kitchen. Unlike most of our homes, this kitchen is not the hang out space. Not because we dislike it but because it really is just about the function. We cook in here, grab our drinks, then sit at the breakfast table {or on the sofa, if we’re particularly invested in a TV show}. MY KITCHEN When we first looked at this home to buy it, I told The Hubs that the kitchen was way too small. He pointed out that I was no longer cooking for six. The kitchen, it turns out, is just the right size. In our other homes, the accent color in…

Where Bloggers Live: My Outdoor Space
Hi, and welcome to my space. The Hubs and I have lived here about two years now and I’m just now starting to appreciate having an outdoor living space. No, scratch that, being quarantined has made me appreciate having an outdoor living space. We’ve been confined to our house since the middle of March, so the front porch has become our connection to life outside of our house. MY OUTDOOR SPACE Our front porch doesn’t really look out on to much… Just the road through our neighborhood and our neighbor’s house. There are a few squirrels that like to play chase in our trees, for the most part, though, our…

Where Bloggers Live: How I Work
First of all, I need to apologize to my cohosts. This post was due on Friday. It is now Saturday night Sunday afternoon. I don’t have an excuse other than lack of motivation. Which I guess is kind of appropriate for this post… If you read this blog on a regular basis, then you know that I’ve already shared a bit about my work space. If you missed it, you can read it here. Today we’re supposed to write about how we work. I rarely write opinion posts anymore, much of my content is centered around clothes or themes like this one. When writing my style posts, I think about the…
