Mushroom Madness and the Converse Queen & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #675
I mentioned yesterday that we just returned from a 5 day road trip to Asheville, North Carolina, and I am still trying to catch up on things in blogland including the sifting through of vacation photos before I can share more about our trip. I was ready to really get rolling on things yesterday morning after taking the kids to school when we received a notification two hours into the school day that the kids would be dismissed in one hour. There was a water main break that has sent our little town into a governor- declared state of emergency. We essentially ran out of water. Although the break was…

It All Began with Halloween & Your Own Twist Link Up #61
As I begin to wind down this Your Own Twist monthly collaboration, I am revisiting all of my past Halloween posts. We began this journey five years ago with Halloween costumes and have continued to share our costumes every October since. However, this year I have not had the opportunity to create my Halloween costume yet. We just returned home yesterday from a 5 day road trip to North Carolina and I have much catching up to do. I also have to make the kids’ costumes a priority over mine. I’ll find something fun inside my closet at the last minute, I’m sure. Since I have not had a chance…

The Thrifty Six: Inspired by Taylor Swift Eras
Taylor Swift has been making headlines everywhere because of her current Eras Tour as well as her budding new romance with Kansas City Chiefs footballer Travis Kelce. So it seemed like perfect timing when Grace chose Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour as our inspiration for this month’s Thrifty Six style challenge. Last October, I shared another Taylor Swift inspired outfit for a Songful Style challenge but none of those outfit components were thrifted or preloved. So I was excited to create another Taylor inspired look using only secondhand or preloved items. The Eras Tour takes us on a journey through Taylor Swift’s 17 years in the music industry with a tiny…

Songful Style | “Meet Virginia” by Train & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #674
It is my turn to choose a song for our next Songful Style challenge. For October, I have picked an old favorite of mine, “Meet Virginia” by Train. There are a lot of fun sartorial references in this song and I really can relate to Virginia so I am excited to see what kinds of styles are inspired by a woman who “wears high heels when she exercises”! About Songful Style Songful Style is an ageless style challenge series hosted by Suzy of The Grey Brunette, Shelbee of Shelbee on the Edge, and Marsha of Marsha in the Middle.
