Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #7: An Ugly Win is Still a Win
#18 Penn State Nittany Lions 33 – Indiana Hoosiers 28 Welcome to the seventh episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the highlights from yesterday’s Penn State game against Indiana. An Ugly Win is Still a Win Following consecutive losses to Ohio State and Michigan State, a game against Indiana may have been what the doctor ordered to right the Nittany Lions season. Sporting a 20-1 career record against the Hoosiers, they seemed like the perfect opponent to get the team ready for a brutal three week stretch coming up against Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all of whom are ranked in the…

Too Much BRAma and the Truth About Women’s Breasts & Link Up On the Edge #116
I am sure you are all well aware by now that October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, or more accurately, National Breast Health Awareness Month. One of my favorite companies, Ruby Ribbon, which specializes in developing comfortable and supportive alternatives to uncomfortable bras, has recently conducted a nationwide survey to discover women’s personal views, loves, and disappointments about their breasts and their options in bras. These survey findings are perfectly timed in conjunction with promoting breast health awareness this month. Ruby Ribbon’s first annual “What’s Your BRAma?” survey reached 3,000 respondents who let us know how they really feel about their breasts and bras. Here is the thing about bras…

Wednesday’s Word of the Week #1: Linguaphile
I am trying out a new weekly series on my blog…a word of the week. As a writer, I have always been obsessed with language and words. It always felt so magical to me the way beauty can be created by stringing together words in unique and interesting combinations to form different images in the mind’s eye. I also am intrigued by how words have come into existence and use in the English language (I specify English because I am not multilingual in any way). Recently, I ran this idea by my good friend, Susan Marinelli, another wordsmith who shares my obsession with words and language (you can read her…

Guest Post: What to Wear to a Nude Beach & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #93
Note from Shelbee: This post was written and contributed by my friend and avid blog reader, Susan Marinelli. Susan has very graciously offered to write some posts for me while I am still trying to figure out how to manage 3 part time jobs, 2 kids and a husband, and 1 blog. Plus, she has been considering starting her own blog (which I absolutely think she should) and wanted a little experience at writing in blog post form. I find Susan’s writing style an absolute joy to read and her sense of humor far surpasses any other human being I have ever met. She is hilariously witty and as left…

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-October 2018-Plaid
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book! Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. Over a year ago, Nancy and I started The Bad Buy Book, a monthly series about our worst purchases. It was a lot of fun to do and we both learned something from it, too! Nancy learned that off-white against her face is not the most flattering color. And I learned that I have a serious problem resisting a good thrift shop find when it comes to pieces that fit “good enough” but “not quite right.” However, after running that series for a year, we decided to change it a bit. For this series, you can choose…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #6: A Career Day Still Ends in Defeat
Michigan State Spartans 21 – #8 Penn State Nittany Lions 17 Welcome to the sixth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with another disappointing recap of yesterday’s game. A Career Day Still Ends in Defeat What started as a career day for quarterback Trace McSorley ended in a stinging defeat for the #8 Nittany Lions. For a second consecutive year, the Spartans handed them a loss on the last drive of the game and once again sealed Penn State’s fate to play for a National Championship. Starting the day, McSorley needed just 40 yards passing in order to become Penn State’s all…

Words of Advice to My Younger Self & A Special Link Up
Y’all I know I love a good celebration! And today I am joining some amazing blogger friends to celebrate Monica’s 31st birthday in true blogger style! Be sure to hop over to Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and see who else has joined this special birthday collaboration. In honor of her birthday, Monica has asked us all to share some words of wisdom with our younger selves. Reflecting back on this post from a few weeks ago, I realized that we all struggle with self-confidence from the moment that we become self-aware and start comparing ourselves to everyone else around us. This is the commencement of a lifelong fight toward self-love.…
