Choices… Nigel and I decided to take a little road trip. I recently celebrated my birthday, and this trip was my present (he said). This time of year is one of those iffy times. If you go north, you never know what the weather is going to be. If you go south, you may or …
Ah, November! I do love this month! It is a month of gathering with family, going shopping, and eating! Oh, yes! November is a fabulous month! Interestingly, the month is also National Blog Posting Month in the US! While other countries celebrate it on different days, we also have Thanksgiving to plan, celebrate, and, perhaps, …
A little honesty… I’m always going to be honest try to be honest with you (sometimes, my photos lie…no filters, just changes of angles to make me look a little slimmer). So, with the idea of being fully transparent, I’m going to admit I was just too cold and too lazy to take photos for …
Not a woe is me post… Last year, I wrote a post about body positivity and its effect on me. You can read more here if you’d like. I wish I could report that I’d lost the pounds I’d pledged to lose in that post! The truth is I haven’t. I either have to accept …

I must apologize to Shelbee (Shelbee on the Edge) and Suzy (The Grey Brunette) for missing this month’s Songful Style. You can catch Shelbee’s take here. We’re in! We were able to move into our …
Beginnings… When we moved into this house seven years ago, there were many things I found attractive. The kitchen was large and had granite countertops. There was a full basement with about 2/3 of it finished. We had three good sized bedrooms and a huge master bedroom. We even had a fireplace. But the pièce …
This past Saturday, my youngest son and I went to a drag brunch. The night before we were texting back and forth about about the brunch because, of course, my biggest concern was what I was going to wear!! I had never been to this bar (no surprise there as I don’t drink). So, I …
First things first! Welcome back to Leslie!!! I am absolutely over the moon Leslie is back after a brief hiatus from blogging! I have only “known” Leslie for a brief time, but we have become quite good friends. I was glad to be able to continue this series, but I am even more glad Leslie …
