“Comfortably change flight patterns mid-air…” I recently discovered this phrase about the symbolic meaning of dragonflies. Apparently they can represent humans who can do the above. I am not sure how “comfortable” it was, but I can certainly relate to the other part of this statement, changing my (life’s) flight pattern mid-air. A few…
Ripped Jeans Wrangler
I really, really like clothes and shopping. I was a merchandising major for gosh sakes, it’s pretty much a requirement. I mean, if I’m not wearing something “trendy”, those girls I went to college with in the 90’s are going to find me on Facebook and totally call me out on it, right? Okay, we know that’s not…
Old School Blogging – Fall Into Fall!
I am SO very ready for Fall to arrive this year. Unfortunately the fact that it begins this weekend is lost on Southern Louisiana. It doesn’t usually kick in around here until mid to late October and right now we are still dealing with temps in the low 90’s and the humidity from H.E. double…
I’m Giving Something Away – A Wood Watch!
I have not worn a watch in YEARS. The battery died in a lovely watch Tim gave me for an anniversary or a birthday many moons ago (I cannot remember, sorry honey, I do not have a memory like an elephant like you…) and I never got it replaced. So, I just stopped wearing a…
Ruby Leon Jewelry Giveaway
Back in Texas, when I became a non-working mother of two little ones, I joined the local chapter of The Moms Club. There I made many great friends who were moms of little ones and at home, just like me. We met for play dates at the park or at each other’s houses. We talked…
Just because…
The rest of the title for this post should be “I feel like posting about this and that and the other”. But I thought that was really TOO long. Like the run-sentence of blog post titles, ya know? Yes, this post is going to be a bit all over the place. In the spirit of…
There’s a little fashionista in me…
Have I ever mentioned that my major in college was Fashion Merchandising? Yeah, I barely remember too. I have always loved clothes and from a pretty young age. My mother used to take me shopping at the mall quite often after she got her bi-weekly paycheck from her part time job. She trained me well….
We are SO beyond matchy-matchy…
I used to love to dress the boys in matching outfits when they were little. You know for Christmas… and Easter… And yes, Halloween too. (and yeah, this is what Halloween in Texas looks like – Spring!) It was always so fun to have them in the same thing, plus it was easier to keep…
Some stuff about that conference I am going to…
I know. You all know I am going to BlogHer. And this is the last I am going to talk about it before I go. And then of course there will be all those posts after. Yeah… a few… I have some awesome friends guest-posting while I am gone (you’re going to love them!) and…
You need some Fresh Produce!
I have this thing about clothes. They need to be comfortable AND fashionable. Gone are the days where I want anything too tight or too funky that it makes me look silly. But, I also do not plan on becoming Mrs. Frumpy Frumperson any time soon (or ever). When I got an email from Fresh…
