Fall Outfit with Halftee: At the Pumpkin Patch & Link Up On the Edge #115
I mentioned in Tuesday’s mushroom picking post that we went to a Fall Festival at Wheeler Creek Pumpkin Patch in Clayton, New York, on Monday. Because the life of a blogger always consists of finding fun places for photo shoots, I wanted to create an outfit that was all fall vibes. And what screams fall more than layers and tall boots? It was the perfect opportunity to share with you a new product that has recently come to my attention…Halftee. Halftee is a product that was created by Wyoming native, Amanda Barker, in an effort to reduce the bulk of layered clothing while maintaining a put together look with all…

Where Did My Mojo Go? & Link Up On the Edge #114
It seems I have lost my mojo. First, I have to say that I absolutely despise the word mojo. I am not sure why. It just sort of offends my ears and contaminates my deep rooted obsession with and appreciation for the English language. Mojo is defined as the art or practice of casting magic spells and it is often used contemporarily to mean one’s confidence, influence, or personal charisma. But if you search for a synonym (which I did because I don’t like the word), you are met with a barrage of drug related terms like crack, cocaine, and dope. To be clear, I have not lost my stash…

Is Kindness Difficult? and #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #91
Is kindness difficult? This question popped into my head today when I made a quick stop at Lowe’s to pick up a gift card. I legitimately could not find where the gift cards were located. In most large retail chains, they have a display of their own gift cards right at the check out registers, so I got into the only open register line empty-handed with the intention of inquiring about a gift card. The cashier monitoring the self check out line waved me over to that area to check out. No words were spoken. Just a finger pointed at me and the wave of hand indicating that I should…

Simply Be Boots & Link Up On the Edge #113
Who here is a shoe addict? All fingers seem to be pointing at me. There might be some fingers pointing back at some of you, too. If that is the case, then you will understand exactly where I am coming from when I say there is no such thing as too many pairs of shoes. Or is there? If anyone has too many shoes, it is probably me. Half of my problem is that I can’t ever get rid of anything. The other half of my problem is that I simply can’t resist a cute pair of shoes. But we all know that those cute shoes often come with a…

Inspired by Style on the Daily: Boss Lady & Link Up On the Edge #112
I have seen a lot of blog posts recently sharing the break down of a day in the life of a blogger and I have been intrigued. All too often, I have wondered how other bloggers, especially those who have jobs other than blogging, get it all done. Equally as often, I have received comments on my blog expressing feelings of awe at how I can possibly get it all done. So the idea has been running around in my head for a while now to share my daily routine in a blog post. Two things have prevented me from sharing my daily routine until now. The first being that…

Follow the Work Wherever It Leads You
I keep telling myself these seven words. Over and over again. Follow the work wherever it leads you. I started this blog over three years ago as an outlet to express myself creatively through my writing and through my personal style. I also wanted a forum where I could share my mental health journey in the hopes that it would help others on similar paths to the one I have traveled. Time and again, I am met with this deep urgency to find a larger forum to spread my message…a message of self-care, empowerment, strength and courage, kindness, love and light. And time and again, I find myself right back…

Olive Utility Jacket & Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me Link Up
I am so honored to be co-hosting the Bloggers Who Have Inspired Me Link Up hosted by Rachel of Garay Treasures. I started following Rachel’s blog when I was still just in the contemplating stages of creating my own blog. I think what drew me to Rachel’s blog is her casual and affordable style which is perfectly suited to my stay-at-home-mom lifestyle. I also find Rachel very inspiring as she manages her household of four children along with writing her blog and remaining very active in her church community. I love that her husband is her photographer and style partner and he even makes frequent appearances on her blog showcasing…
