And, it works! I have the absolute simplest Instagram hack for you! Do you ever struggle to put on a bracelet? You know, the ones with the lobster claw clasps? I always have, especially when I used to have my nails done. A few days ago, as I was scrolling through Instagram, I happened to …
We took a little trip… Nigel and I, being doubly vaccinated and boosted, took a little trip to Columbus, Ohio. This marked the third time I’ve been to the Franklin Park Conservatory and Nigel’s second. We went last fall and really enjoyed the seasonal outdoor displays (you can read about it here). Newfields has a …
But, no Johnny Depp! I haven’t written much about my faith, and this certainly isn’t going to be a post about it. I have been a Lutheran for about fifty years, but I was confirmed as a Methodist. None of that has much to do with this blog post except as an introduction to the …
Not mine anyway… My mom didn’t wear dresses as she got older. In fact, the last time I can remember her wearing a dress was for my youngest sister’s wedding in 1984! And, I just happen to have it as well as the one she wore to my wedding. I have no idea why I …
Scouting it out… Nigel and I have been considering moving house. Before moving to Brownsburg a few several years ago, we lived in the same house for almost 25 years. We built that one and had done many remodels and updates over the years. I loved that house, but we decided to move to be …
Only ten more days… Spring is just a few days away! I have to admit it’s not my favorite time of year. If you live in the Midwest as I do, Spring is very fickle. She shows up flirting and flouncing and then leaves you just as quickly! The other thing I dislike about Spring …
Or, am I? Daenel of Living Outside the Stacks posts the most stunning photos on Instagram as well as on her blog. If you’re not following her on either, do yourself a favor and find her! Last fall, she kept writing about Kantha Bae. I wasn’t exactly sure what that was, so I googled it …
February challenge It’s the third Thursday of the month, and we’re back with a new style challenge! This month, Joanne of My Slice of Life chose ponchos, wraps, or capes. In case you’re unfamiliar with this group, each month, one of us picks a theme. We then create outfits with that theme or trend in …
In case you’re new to my blog, I’ve teamed up with Leslie for 10 on the 10th. We are taking turns coming up with the lists, questions, prompts…you just never know what we will come up with! This month was my turn! Since it’s February (can you believe it?), I decided to focus my questions …
A middle school concert, that is Last week, we were able to see our oldest granddaughter in a middle school concert. Nigel and I are not big concert goers…well, Nigel isn’t. We’ve seen Gordon Lightfoot and Willie Nelson in concert. My youngest son and I saw Paul McCartney twice in concert. I cried out of …
