10 on the 10th: December 2022-Christmas Gift Giving
Let the Christmas countdown begin…we are down to just 2 weeks away and I have managed to get the bulk of my shopping finished way ahead of time this year. That really does relieve a lot of the holiday spending stress when you start early and buy a few things each week starting in September or October. I have even been wrapping everything as it is arrives so I am not overwhelmed on Christmas Eve with giant gift piles that need to be covered in paper. And now it is time again for Marsha’s 10 on the 10th questions. 10 on the 10th is a monthly series with Marsha of Marsha in the…

It’s the End of the World as We Know It (And I Teal Fine) & Link Up On the Edge #325
I took some inspiration from Laura’s Big Book of Punny Titles because I have been tealing fine lately. And while it’s not necessarily the end of the world as we know it (or maybe it is), it is definitely the end of the year as we know it and in just a few weeks 2022 will be nothing but a memory. When the present becomes the past, events do sometimes take on a dreamlike quality so I chose this classic R.E.M. earworm for representing my newly discovered obsession with the color teal…and all other variations of blue-green colors such as turquoise, cyan, azure, or cerulean. As soon as 2022 ends,…

At Home for the Holidays & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #304
We are right smack in the middle of the holiday season and a long overdue shift in perspective has finally happened. After years of dreading the holidays and harboring an overall disdain for this time of year, I finally felt the holiday spirit seep into my soul and I am thoroughly enjoying all the preparations and the family time. I have never liked the over commercialization of the holidays and I have always felt the pressure of the expectations of others. Those two things alone are enough to damper the holidays. Then add in the uncertainty of planning things when you are a military family and the holidays take very…

Reminder: The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book-Hot Pink (Barbiecore) & Link Up On the Edge #324
“Life is a sea I’m sailing, riding the winds of time. Looking to find a course that is mine. Striving to find direction. Starting to understand, every wave’s a part of the plan.” Barbie as The Island Princess, 2007 When Barbie expressed the above sentiment, she was exactly my age, 48 years young. And my goodness, does that make me feel better that even this iconic doll, a symbol of femininity and power, grace and strength, struggled a little bit through her midlife years. I guess that is one of the reasons this toy has reached such iconic status. Barbie will be 64 on March 9 and now I am…
