Nigel and I don’t do much of anything for New Year’s Eve. In fact, he’ll be snoring long before midnight. I’ll be up; I’m always up at midnight! I can really only remember celebrating New Year’s Eve twice in our married life. The first time was before we had kids, and the second one was …
My front porch is a little bit like the weather here in Central Indiana. There’s a spring wreath hanging on the wall, and a fall garland adorning the bench! We’ve been having really warm days with cool nights. In fact, this past Wednesday, we may have set a record. Luckily for me, the nights are …
Style Imitating Art comes from Salazar, Terri, and Shelbee. You can think of it as fashion meets art museum! Style Imitating Art challenges people to find inspiration in different art works, create looks based upon that art work, and share them with the curator for that piece. Every other Monday one of the three selects an inspiration piece …
Fast fashion… I am not going to write a lot on this topic. We all know what fast fashion is. Or, do we? When I think of fast fashion, I think of clothing that is cheaply made, inexpensive to the consumer, and doesn’t last. It turns out there is much more to fast fashion than …
Speaking from experience… Last week, I mentioned I had gone to a women’s retreat but had to leave early. I was very lucky another woman had come and was only staying for the day. Once I saw her and realized the ramifications, I was so relieved. You’re probably wondering why, right? I didn’t double check! …
On my mind… I have been looking for a new rug for the dining room…hahaha!!! It’s not a room; it’s a sad, pathetic space stuffed full of my dining room furniture! I realize most people who have built in our neighborhood are downsizing their lives and are my age or older. They have not only …
I apologize from the beginning. There will be no photos of pumpkins in this post. But, I do have pumpkins on my mind. We went to Newfields (aka Indianapolis Museum of Art) today. The architects knew what they were doing when they designed the gift shop. One full (almost) wall of the gift shop is …
“Freak Flag” Well, the heat and humidity have arrived in Central Indiana. I think they used to call them the dog days of summer, but I prefer to think of them as the slog days of summer. There’s nothing to do but slog through this air. Anyway, welcome to the last Monday in July and …
It all started in February… The kids bought Nigel a subscription (not sure that’s the right word) for his birthday. Basically, Storyworth sends you a question a week, a day, a couple of days a week, or a month. You respond to the question. Your responses are kept somewhere…haven’t figured that one out just yet. …
“All About That Bass” The month of May must have been doing its Indy 500 imitation because it just sped by! Surprisingly (that’s sarcasm), we have an air quality alert for the next few days. I know part of that is because the temperatures are going to climb. But, there’s a part of me that …
