What I Wore and More

Hey y'all! I've gotta be honest ... I still haven't mastered taking a good selfie. And I'm always the last one to get ready at my house so selfies are my only option. But, I'll figure it out one day. {maybe} Anyway, I'm still working with my fall capsule wardrobe. And, for the most part, I'm still loving it. I put up the navy shorts and pulled out the leggings this past week. Here's hoping that wasn't a mistake — north Alabama weather can be pretty crazy in late September/early ... [Read More]

For Your Weekend

The big news this week is I got my hair cut and colored. Isn't it amazing how a great cut and color can make you feel so much better. Just like my clothes were adding extra stress in my day, so was my hair. I actually spent some time looking for the best style for my face shape. As this article on YouBeauty says, "While a great hairstyle can lift years off your look and make you feel completely reinvigorated, few realize that it’s your face shape that is truly at play. As the foundation for any ... [Read More]

I mentioned last week my interest in developing a capsule wardrobe.  I have several reasons I wanted to give this a go — but the biggest ... [Read More]

For Your Weekend {a little early}

{This post contains affiliate links. If you purchase through them, I will receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.} Oh my word, y'all! This week has been crazy busy for us ... and the weekend looks even more chaotic. {Can someone please tell me how to be two places at once???} My preference is to share some of the goodness I've found through the week on my Facebook page over the weekend. But I'm afraid that might not come to fruition. So I gathered them up here for you in one ... [Read More]

Learning to Love Well

For the record, 42-year-olds are really not meant for dorm life. At least not this 42-year-old. In case you missed all the photos on Instagram, I spent nearly two weeks with my girl at cheer camp and then youth camp. I should also mention this 42-year-old is really not meant to spend that much time away from home. :) I'm so glad I went with her — those long conversations and belly laughs in the car as we drove from one camp to the other were worth far more than the lack of sleep. {And the ...
