For Your Weekend … Christmas is almost here!

Christmas is almost here. Can you believe it? I'm still wrapping presents and we even have a few gifts left to purchase. But we're almost done. And I suppose that's good since our family celebrations begin Monday. I've read some wonderful posts over the past few weeks about preparing your heart for Christmas and I wanted to share them with you. It's so easy to be distracted by all that needs to be done and miss the one needful thing.  I journaled about my struggle with this very thing ... [Read More]

What I Wore … and ideas for fancy Christmas party outfits

Let's see, so far this December we've talked about thinning eyelashes {and other issues those of us over 40 may be facing} and nail care. I've also shared some favorite books and a few things I wore this month. And I invited you to peek at our holiday decorations. Today I'm hosing my Bible study group for a Christmas party. And so I thought I'd show you what you could expect if you were to come by my house during the holidays. Here is what I'm wearing for our little get together ... [Read More]

Christmas Home Tour 2014

Hey y'all! Tomorrow night I'm hosting a little party for my Bible study group.  I love having people in my home ... and I wish I could just bring all of you over one afternoon for some coffee and conversation. Wouldn't that be amazing? One of my very favorite bloggers, Myquillin Smith {otherwise known as The Nester} has these saying I adore: It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful. Isn't that awesome news?! I don't know about you but neither me nor my home are ever perfect. But my ... [Read More]

What I Wore … and some winter nail care tips

Hey y'all! I'm finally jumping back in with a What I Wore Wednesday post ... it's been crazy around here and I have meant to share more of my outfits but since most nights I'm sitting in a gym wearing a "cheer mom" shirt of some sort, I suppose you haven't missed much. LOL But I have managed to wear colors besides black and gold in the past week so I thought I'd share what I've worn for a few exciting things happening around here. And I'm thrilled to be partnering with JULEP to share some ... [Read More]

10 Great Christmas Books

Remember how I said I haven't been online much lately because when there are a few spare moments I'd rather read a book? I was thinking you all might like to know what some of my Christmas favorites are. I've gathered up ten of my favorites—which you need to know was really hard because we have probably 150 or more Christmas books in this house. But these are the ones I'm especially loving this year. These are great Christmas books — fiction, nonfiction, devotional, advent ... a little ... [Read More]

Thinning Eyelashes and Other Old Lady Problems

I have to admit I'm feeling pretty cool right now ... because in the past month I've gotten three opportunities as a "fashion blogger." Which is pretty awesome for a girl who loves boots and scarves and all things girly ... but pretty weird since said girl takes the most awkward photos ever of herself in said fashion awesomeness. Nonetheless, I'm excited to share with you an incredible new product, or at least new to me.  A friend from Georgia contacted me about Younique 3D fiber lashes ... [Read More]
