My First Day of School Outfit & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #292
Last Thursday, I shared my Essential Back-to-School Checklist featuring some first day of school of photos of my boys with me and Jeff and my in-laws. So I figured today was a good day to share the details of what I wore for my kids’ first day of school. The temperatures are beginning to cool off here in the North Country and it is really beginning to feel like fall. The mornings and evenings are getting brisk and I find myself reaching for extra layers that I can shed throughout the afternoon as it gets warmer. I was actually a little cold in this outfit in the morning and wished…

The Essential Back-to-School Checklist
Some people love when it’s time for back-to-school shopping because they get excited about the potential and opportunities that lie ahead with each new beginning. Others, however, may not be so thrilled about getting everything together all at once especially if you have waited until the final hour to start your back-to-school shopping. But with growing children and changing curricula, we can’t avoid the necessity of the school shopping experience. Our kids need all the things to start each new school year so they can stay abreast of their academic studies as well as their budding social lives. While back-to-school shopping can sometimes feel overwhelming with confusing supply lists and…

It’s Not Pie & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #291
Equal Rights For Others Does Not Mean Fewer Rights For You. It’s Not Pie. I saw this tee shirt in a Facebook ad and I had to have it. The message is one that is near and dear to my heart and the delivery of the message really just cracks me up. In particular, the Not Pie part. Really, it’s not pie, folks. There are enough rights available to be shared with everyone and no one needs to get a smaller slice of the pie. Because it’s not even pie! If you want some pie, we can have a giant community baking party with endless pies. That might be fun.…

My Dining Room Makeover: Commonplace Creams to Gracious Greens & Link Up On the Edge #311
I might be the slowest person on earth with my home improvements, taking nearly 2 years just to complete 3 small areas in my house. But slow progress is still progress. Although I would like to pick up my progress pace. I began with my cloffice makeover in January 2021, tackling the smallest space in my home first. It took me an entire year to move on to the next smallest and easiest space, my happy hippie hallway, in January 2022. Eight months later, I decided on a whim to tackle my dining room because it had the least amount of furniture to be moved around. I had one week…
