Adventures in Crocheting
So, I bought a book. It’s supposed to teach this newbie how to crochet. We will have a new grandson in June. Let’s see if this Grammy can make a blanket for him before he’s born! Here’s to trying something new in 2018!
Moving – it’s always an adventure
Our house has finally closed and our next adventure in real estate has begun. We are now looking for our next home. For this next phase, we have a real estate agent who is a rock star in every sense of the word. She has been exceedingly responsive through both text messaging and e-mails. That …
Always the right time to wear Stevie
In December, my husband and I went to see Stevie Nicks in concert. I’ve always been a fan of Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac. While it’s still on my bucket list to go see Fleetwood Mac in concert, I can cross off that list of being able to see Stevie. I’m not a huge fan …
Navigating a real estate transaction
This post is going to be kind of boring for anyone who wants to read about beauty, fashion, or subscription boxes. It is a tip though and speaks to the importance of knowing who your real estate agent, reading your contract and not being afraid on insisting that they represent you well. We listed our …
Editor’s Box
I have heard a lot about the FabFitFun subscription box. As I have mentioned in previous posts, I currently subscribe to Ipsy and Stitch Fix.

Cold shoulders
I remember about six months ago when someone I work with had a really cute top on that had cut outs around the shoulders. I think I’ve shared before that I am somewhat self-conscious about baring my arms as I think they look too big. For me, cold shoulder tops are good option for someone …
Planner Style
A year ago, I stumbled upon a little known world of planner people – specifically, women who buy planners and then decorate them with all kind of doo-dads and what-nots. I think most of us when we buy a planner, we think to ourselves that we are buying it in order to get more organized …
Larger than life
A few days ago, I learned that a friend and colleague had suffered a massive heart attack. There was hope that he would pull through, but four days after his heart attack, he passed away. He was 50. His death was shocking to me because he seemed larger than life. He lived his life fighting …
Another black dress
I will admit that for me it has been a personal challenge to post pictures of myself on this blog. I will never claim to be any type of fashionista. I do like to dress nicely for work and try to look professional. For a while, I was kind of in this mode of picking …
Black & Blue
We finally had a day without heavy rain. I’m not complaining because where I live we have been in a drought for the past few years. That being said, our area experienced mudslides, flooding, downed trees and power outages. I had to check the road conditions for my husband because he drives over “the mountain,” …
