Five Winter Wedding Outfit Ideas on My Wedding Anniversary
I am teaming up again with 4 fabulous ladies to show you some amazing outfit inspiration for a Winter Wedding. And the timing of this post is perfect as today is my Wedding Anniversary! Seven years of wedded bliss…and per the normal Army standard, the husband is 1,500 miles away on our special day. Ha. We are 2 for 7 this year…meaning we have been able to spend our “actual” anniversary together only 2 times in 7 years of marriage. But it’s all good…because we simply cherish every day that we do get to spend together regardless of the date. Happy Anniversary to my best friend! If you recall, I…

Guest Post: How New Socks Can Change Your Life
Guest post for Shelbee on the Edge Written by Victoria Barnard Socking it to your New Year’s Resolution Inspiration can come from the smallest things. In January 2016, one of my good friends in an unprecedented fit of New Year resolution excitement found the inspiration to change a downward slide into obesity by making changes to his diet and taking up jogging. He chose to begin the popular “Couch to 5k” program, a running training schedule that purports to take you in around 9 weeks from consummate couch potato to running a 5-kilometer mini-marathon. Well, much to his family’s surprise and joy he did indeed complete the 5k program as…

My Foxy Snood and #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #5
It has been a few weeks since my last #SpreadTheKindness Link Up, but I am finally getting back on track and today I present you with my new foxy snood! My snood is a bit wonky because the pattern is upside down. But this is what I love about my fun snood. It’s little imperfection is what makes it perfectly suited to me. After all, isn’t it so important to embrace all of our little imperfections? Isn’t it our imperfections that make us unique and special diamonds in the rough, so to speak? Our quirks, our strange little habits, our eccentricities, and all of our differences are what make this…

Winter Florals and a Story About Critters
It’s never dull during North Country winters. From the bitter, bitter cold to lake effect snow to little critters seeking shelter and food, there’s always a story to tell. Today, I am going to share one of these stories. And a cute winter floral dress straight from Shelbee’s Shoppe. As I type this, it is currently a balmy 3 degrees Fahrenheit outside with a total accumulation of approximately 30 inches of snow on the ground from two (maybe three) lake effect snow bands that hit us late in the week. When the cold and snow hit, we all seek shelter and stay inside the warmth of our homes. But we,…
