The Burnt Ochre Dress from Last Summer & Spread The Kindness Link Up On the Edge #756
If a picture is worth a thousand words, what are a thousand pictures worth? According to the principles of mathematics, the answer would be one million words. Although I am certain that I could write one million words, I don’t really feel like it. And you probably have little interest in reading the one million words that my very noisy and chaotic brain would string together anyway. So I will leave you with some words (far less than one million) and many pictures (a lot but much fewer than a thousand) of little ole me wearing one of my favorite summer dresses. Last summer, I purchased this dress in deep…

New Cowgirl Boots in Saratoga Springs & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #755
Ever since I bought my last pair of cowgirl boots over a year ago, I have been hankering for a new pair. In particular, I have really been wanting teal cowgirl boots. I found a few different pairs of teal boots from my favorite boot retailers, Country Outfitter and Boot Barn, but it took me weeks to decide which pair I wanted to have. I narrowed it down to two different pairs…the Corral Women’s Floral Embroidered & Rhinestone Studded Western Boots (the ones I bought) and the Circle G Women’s Floral Embroidered Western Boots. The pair I didn’t buy are so stinking cute, too, but I do not have any…

From Bland to Brilliant: Kitchens That Inspire
Have you ever walked into a kitchen and felt absolutely nothing? No charm, no warmth, no spark. Just four walls, some bland cupboards, and a boring countertop that has seen better days. It feels like a space meant to feed without fueling any joy. Yet, they say that the kitchen is the heart of the home, the place where we start our mornings, host our friends, test new recipes, and sneak the comfort of a midnight snack. So why are we settling for a dull and lifeless space? Of course, a great kitchen must be functional, but it is also a space that should inject a feeling of health and…

Songful Style Link Party #37: “Need You Now” by Lady A
It was Suzy’s turn to choose this month’s songful inspiration. She chose “Need You Now” by American country music group Lady A (formerly known as Lady Antebellum) because it has been one of her favorite songs for a very long time. It is also a favorite of mine with a really special story behind it. The Lyrics "Hey, sorry I missed your call, just leave a message after the beep""Hey, yeah, it's me, just been thinking about everything tonightAnd I don't know, I just miss you so muchGive me a call back if you can?"Picture perfect memoriesScattered all around the floorReachin' for the phone 'cause I can't fight it anymoreAnd…
