The Fab 40’s Wear Shorts for Work
I haven’t worked a traditional job with an actual dress code in nearly 9 years, so any time a style challenge is presented to me with “work” involved, I pretty much have free reign to interpret that however I’d like. Working from home allows me all sorts of liberties with my wardrobe. I can work in my jammies, my bathrobe, my sweatpants, jeans, dresses, or my underwear. Hell, I can work naked if I really wanted. If I don’t get too cold. Which is a problem this time of year. But working from home does have it challenges. One of the biggest problems is maintaining self discipline and motivation to…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Shorts
Today is the day that Nancy and I would normally be posting our monthly installment of The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. But with Summer vacations and travel and very low participation this month, we decided to skip July and post our Shorts theme on August 15 instead. If you have already submitted photos, no worries, we will be sharing them in August. But if you have not yet sent us your submissions, you now have an extra month to do so! August’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book will be featuring Shorts. I have not worn very many shorts yet this season, so I am going to dig back into the archives of the past year…

The Very Snowy Non-Snow Day & Link Up On the Edge #127
Have you heard of the snow day ritual that you must perform the night that a snowstorm is predicted in order to have a snow day from school the following day? We did not have such rituals when I was a kid, but my children swear by this magical routine…until it fails them. It goes like this…if it is snowing, you must wear your jammies inside out, put a spoon in the freezer and ice cubes in the toilet. Do this the night before and you will be guaranteed a snow day the next morning. So Wednesday night, it was predicted that a major snowstorm would be hitting Northern New…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #17: Citrus Bowl Loss Sours McSorley’s Final Game
Welcome to the seventeenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with a recap of last week’s Citrus Bowl where our beloved Penn State faced off against Kentucky. Citrus Bowl Loss Sours McSorley’s Final Game #14 Kentucky Wildcats 27 – #12 Penn State Nittany Lions 24 The final game of Trace McSorley’s career was supposed to end with another 10 win season, the chance to break 10,000 career passing yards and give Penn State its third consecutive 10 win season…a feat that hasn’t happened since the 1980-82 seasons and never since the Nittany Lions joined the Big Ten Conference. Unfortunately,…

The Holiday Series 2018-Happy New Year & Link Up On the Edge #126
As I sit drafting this post on Christmas Day, I am feeling like a much overdue blogging break is needed here on the edge. With that I am going to share my second to last outfit of 2018, the final post in Ada’s Holiday Series (featuring our New Year’s Eve looks), the final link up of the year, and my final thoughts until I return back to my regular blogging schedule some time next week. I will be posting on December 31 with The Fab 40’s and it’s a really fun theme this month, so be sure to check that one out. Then I will begin my short blogging hiatus.…

So Many Blessings & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #103
While I am grateful every day for the blessings in my life, the holidays tend to bring on an overload of emotions. Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed by love coming at me from so many directions. This type of abundant love used to make me question if I deserved it all, but I have reached a point in my life when I can accept it with gratitude and acknowledgement that I do deserve all the blessings in my life. I know that I am not unique in my journey that has included many struggles and pain and heartache and loss. I know that I am not unique in my…

Welcome to the sixteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback with a recap of yesterday’s Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl where Army faced off against Houston. Record Setting Day for Army Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl #22 Army Black Knights 70 – Houston Cougars 14 In a game that Army was supposed to be the underdog, they were anything but during this record setting day at the Armed Forces Bowl. Coming into the game at 10-2, Army was looking for its first ever 11 win season since the Service Academy started playing football in 1890. The senior class for…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #15: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Welcome to the fifteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback with a recap of yesterday’s games. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year The greatest time of year is upon us. No, I do not mean Christmas. I’m talking about college football bowl season! Although if you really think about it, it is like having a three week Christmas celebration, 40 games in 23 days with the National Championship to close it out. It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Autonation Cure Bowl Tulane Green Wave 41 – Louisiana-Lafayette Rajun Cajuns 24 This game featured…

Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #101
On Saturday, I completed the Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse which guarantees that you will feel better in one week. From my experience, I think they have most definitely satisfied their guarantee. A few of the benefits that you can expect from this cleanse include improved focus and energy, enhanced mood and sleep quality, detox and healthy digestion, a jump start for weight loss and reduction in food cravings. I have never done a cleanse of any sort so this was a brand new experience for me and I really did not know what to expect. The diet for the week consisted of all fruits and vegetables, mostly raw, some…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #14: America’s Game
Welcome to the fourteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback. America’s Game #22 Army Black Knights 17 – Navy Midshipmen 10 Playing for the 119th time since 1890, Army versus Navy has become an iconic symbol of college football. The game in which players will not be heading to the NFL draft to play on Sundays but instead will be donning uniforms to serve their country 365 days a year. The game in which the rivalry, the pure love of the game, and of course, cross service bragging rights are what really matter. The atmosphere at an Army/Navy game…
