Fall Flashback Outfit: Tie Dye and Denim & Link Up On the Edge #279
With the deep freeze of winter holding us tight in its grasp, I decided to share a fall outfit today that I photographed before the ground was covered in an icy blanket of snow and the temperatures dropped to inhumane levels. School was canceled last night for today due to the temperature not because we have any precipitation. It is actually going to be sunny and clear all day. That ole sun can play tricks with you though. She might look all big and bright and warm when you look outside. But when you step outside, you immediately realize her deception. It is currently -17° F with a wind chill…

Opposite Day & Your Own Twist Link Up #40
January 25 is National Opposite Day, a creative child’s philosophy course turned into an annual celebration of opposites. This self referential paradox lends itself to a day filled with all sorts of philosophical questionings which can lead to fun experiments in opposites. Have you ever wondered what the world would look like if everything was the opposite of what it is? What if the sky were green and the grass were blue? What if mathematics was not an exact science? What if we walked on our hands instead of our feet? What if children ruled the world? What if rain fell up instead of down? The aim of Opposite Day…

My Happie Hippie Hallway & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #258
My Happie Hippie Hallway makes me smile so bright every time I walk through the second story of my home. Ever since I finished painting the hallway in the fall, I have been on the lookout for bohemian style decor to bring more character to the space. I knew I wanted dreamcatchers to be part of the decor. The hallway space extends from our bedroom to the boys’ bedrooms, making it the perfect spot for catching all the dreams from all the bedrooms. I was not in a hurry to decorate this space though. Two weeks ago, I was still in the brainstorming phase when I was in TJ Maxx…

The Thrifty Six Brighten Up January
Here we are in the deepest, coldest, grayest part of winter in the North Country and I am scrambling to type this post at the last minute hoping I don’t lose internet connection. I can hear this giant ice and snow storm pelting my house. It sounds sort of like someone is throwing rock salt against the windows with an unwavering consistency. I took a peek out into the darkness of 4:30 a.m. and the snow was blowing so wildly at about 40 mph that it looks like there some sort of apocalyptic event going on out there. The weather people are predicting total snow accumulations of 8-12 inches before…

Sustainable Shaving: Leaf Shave Razor Review & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #257
The older I get, the more aware I become of all of the unnecessary waste that we make as humans. It is so excessive sometimes that it makes my soul ache. So I am always looking for ways to minimize my own negative impact on the environment. We have truly become a throw away society. We buy and toss things so quickly, it shouldn’t be any wonder that our planet is so very unwell. We have thrived on the conveniences of disposable everything…disposable diapers, disposable utensils, disposable plates and cups, disposable razors, disposable clothing. Disposable is easy. We can buy something, use it until we are done, then toss in…

How We Style Cozy Knits | January Stylish Monday Link Up
With the holidays in the rear view mirror, we have retired our Festive Outfits with a few more months of winter straight ahead that will require us to keep warm and stylish. And nothing keeps me quite as warm as cozy knits. I find knit fabrics much more comfortable than woven ones so I generally exist in head to toe knitwear of some sort…unless I wear jeans. But I only wear those when I leave the house, which is not often these days. I have actually turned into that mom that I swore I never would…I drive my kids to school in my pajamas. There I said it. And I…
