Queen of… If I am a queen of anything, it is the Queen of Procrastinators. I tell myself I work better under pressure, but, really, I just think I’m lazy. I will put off almost anything until the last minute if I possibly can. Here’s just one example. The Banana Republic rewards program used to …
A January challenge… In January, Jodie hosted a month long challenge of wearing bright colors. She did this for a few reasons: 1) Jodie loves bright colors! 2) Bright colors (think dopamine dressing) cheer us up when it’s dark. 3) The girl likes a good challenge! You may or may not have noticed I didn’t …
Memories… Once upon a time, I remember thinking I would have made “it” when I owned a pair of green shoes! Isn’t that a weird thing to think? You’re probably wondering where in the world I came up with this idea! As always, there’s a story. Many, many years ago, we were in church waiting …
I have been so discombobulated this month, and I have no idea why! I was bound and determined Valentine’s Day was on a Thursday. Do you ever get something solidly in your head, and you are so very wrong? Luckily, something clicked for me because I realized this was the third week of the month! …

Last month, I wrote I doubted we would have a white Christmas! Boy, was I wrong! We didn’t get huge amounts of snow, but we did drop right into the negative temperatures and stayed there for a bit. I hope all of you are well, had an amazing holiday season (whichever you celebrate or not), …
Bucket list item… I am one of those people who loves snow! I love to wake up in the morning and see white where there had previously been green. Is there anything better than a pine tree with branches dusted with glistening snow? Well, yes, there are lots of things better than that, but you …
In April, Michelle (Funky Fashion Style) began a new fashion challenge. Michelle felt she needed something to push her to do some print mixing. And, so the Final Friday challenge was born! This means the last Friday of the month would be dedicated to a print mixing challenge. Luckily, she asked me to co-host with …
“Here to Forever” Happy Boxing Day! Don’t know what that is? I wrote a post about it (here). I know many of you are probably still in the midst of holiday celebrations! We had an amazing Christmas weekend. My youngest son went to Christmas Eve services with me. On Christmas Day, everyone was over in …
