Friday Favorites 4 & Link Up On the Edge #187
Here we are on day I-don’t-even-know of world quarantine. In the interest of staying positive, I am going to share some of my favorite things. While many people may be experiencing extra down time at home, I actually have much less down time with staying on track with my own writing and blogging goals and home schooling my children. My silly little guys were under the impression that they were getting a 5 week vacation. Little did they know that mom and dad can be hard asses when we want to be! Actually, we aren’t being all that hard, but we are implementing structured days that consist of morning yoga,…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week: It’s Written in the Stars with Rosegal
I am totally obsessed with all things celestial right now. Perhaps it is the reinterpreting of my relationship with the universe that is causing this infatuation with astral entities. I am feeling connected to the heavens and the earth more deeply than I ever have before. I am paying more attention, listening more carefully, and following the signs with a faith that I have never before known. I am confident that certain things in our lives are written in the stars and so I find myself looking up and out in order to find the answers that are already inside. Because we all are connected to this universal energy just…

A Ray of Sunshine in a Hate-Filled World
If you are friends with me or follow me on Facebook, then you already know that I have been receiving some pretty nasty messages and comments in response to my post about the Presidential election. Toward the end of that post, I stated, “Also know that I guarantee that I will NOT respond to harsh and unkind words. So if you are looking for a debate or an argument, you will not be satisfied here.” Being a person who reserves my right to change my mind, I have done just that. I have changed my mind. And at the end of this post, you will find my response to the…

How to Wear Over the Knee Socks Over 40 and Link Up On the Edge #14
I don’t really think this classifies as a legitimate “how to” post because it is really simple. You pull on some cute over the knee socks with an above the knee skirt or dress (or shorts) no matter what your age and the rock the hell out it! I am going to totally throw my sister under the bus here (sorry, sis)…back in my mid-thirties, my sister would make fun of me for wearing knee high and over the knee socks. She told me it was ridiculous that a woman of my age would dress that way. At first, I tried to disregard her words. But then after I had…

I Made It Even Better and On the Edge of the Week Link Up #7
A few weeks ago, I was completely inspired by a post by Rachel of Garay Treasures when she published her Re-Purposed Old Jewelry Leaf Necklace Tutorial. While Rachel was re-furbishing a very old necklace, it struck me that I had a very new necklace that needed some help! In fact, it was my favorite long silver double tassel necklace that I had picked up last year from Cato Fashions. And when I say it was my favorite, I mean I wore it at least 3 times a week. And when all other necklaces failed to add fabulous to an outfit, I reached for this one. However, being a stay at…

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…
