Just an Outfit Post & Link Up On the Edge #117
I have had a lot of deep wonderings going through my head of late and I am struggling with ways to articulate them. I want to share these thoughts because it helps me to process some of it. Sharing it also helps me to gain new perspective and a better understanding when I am feeling somewhat confused by my own silly brain. I think it also makes fun topics for discussion. But the problem is my inability to adequately express what I want to say. So for now, there apparently seems to be just meaningless chaos floating around in my mind until I can properly sort it all out into…

#SpreadTheKindness Movement (and Link Up) & My New Lularoe Carly Dress
Now more than ever, I believe it is of the utmost importance to be spreading kindness and love wherever we go. The holidays have arrived and while many people feel moved by the spirit of the holidays, there are also so many who feel depressed, stressed, tired, or just angry for various reasons at this time of year. Add that to a time of social tension in our country that has arrived in the wake of a controversial Presidential election and emotions are running high. Many people are edgy to say the least.

Olive Utility Jacket & Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me Link Up
I am so honored to be co-hosting the Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me Link Up hosted by Rachel of Garay Treasures. I started following Rachel’s blog when I was still just in the contemplating stages of creating my own blog. I think what drew me to Rachel’s blog is her casual and affordable style which is perfectly suited to my stay-at-home-mom lifestyle. I also find Rachel very inspiring as she manages her household of four children along with writing her blog and remaining very active in her church community. I love that her husband is her photographer and style partner and he even makes frequent appearances on her blog showcasing…
