Let the Birth Month Celebrations Continue & Link Up On the Edge #42
The month of May has always been a month of celebrations for me! The main reason is that it is my birth month. And I believe more in birth month celebrations rather than just birth day celebrations! Because why celebrate your life for just one day, when you can celebrate for the entire month? Eh, what the heck, we really need to just celebrate our lives every damn day! Then I met my husband and his birthday is also in May. He was very confused the first time I introduced him to the concept of the birth month celebration. But during that first month of May that we were dating, he…

Fat Guy in a Little Coat and My New Green Dress
If you follow me on Instagram, then you have already seen my new green dress…the dress I actually wore on Easter Sunday. If you don’t follow me on Instagram, then you really should! It is super easy to do, I have just provided you with two links so you can just click and follow! In fact, here’s another link that will take you directly to my Instagram account! Also, if you have been following along, you know that we have recently moved to a smaller house. And I just want to tell you that I feel like a fat guy in a little coat trying to jam 3,000 square feet…

Lula Love & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #18
As many of you already know, my weekly #SpreadTheKindness Link Up really is all about just that…spreading kindness. And each week I try to share something in a way that is me just spreading some kindness. After my pretty intense post from yesterday (the response was completely overwhelming, in a good way, particularly on Facebook), I actually am finding myself quite mentally exhausted today! So I am going to simply share some Lula Love with you all! I am sure most (if not all) fashion bloggers reading this know of LulaRoe. Probably any woman reading this who has shopped for clothing in the past 12 months know the brand as…

OOTD: Mint and Purple & Link Up On the Edge #35
Today, I need to share with you this color combination of Mint and Purple. Never in a million years would I have paired these two colors together except my friends over at COTD Style had challenged me (and everyone else) to create an outfit incorporating Mint Green and Grimace Purple. And I have to say…I love the result! When I saw that Mint was part of the challenge, I knew I had to wear my mint trench coat that I picked up on clearance last year at Gap Factory. The temperature is still in the 20’s here in the Arctic North Country of New York State, so I knew I…

A Battlefield, A Restaurant, and A Striped Dress
I suppose it is no secret now that I love striped dresses! (Not that this was ever secret-worthy information.) A lightweight, loose fitting dress made of tee shirt fabric is just the most comfortable attire for a hot sweltering day. I wore this dress on Friday for an afternoon date with my husband. We put the boys in day care for the entire day and we headed out to Sackets Harbor for lunch. (It is no secret either that I love food!) We walked around the battlefield and had some fun taking outfit photos. A Battlefield Image Source The Sackets Harbor Battlefield, which is located on Lake Ontario, was the…

Two Days of Spring/Summer in the North Country
Here in the northern reaches of New York State near the Canadian border the winters are long and the spring/summer seasons seem to last merely a few days. Well, not really, but it sure can feel that way sometimes. And I’m not complaining, really, just stating the facts. Those who know me or have read previous posts know that I don’t mind the cold and chilly air of fall, winter, and spring in the North Country. And I don’t much like the heat. At all. In fact, once we creep upwards of 68 degrees or so, I start to get a little bit miserable. 70 degrees is just too hot…
