Outfits of the Day #ootd
I love to put together outfits. I find something calming and exciting in the process. And if I think I look good, I tend to feel great! Hopefully, you can find some inspiration here for feeling amazing in your own body.

LulaRoe Leggings and Link Up On the Edge #26
I completely missed last week’s Link Up On the Edge post. For that I apologize. I am slowly getting back on track and back into the swing of things. I have been busily photographing every single piece of merchandise available for sale in Shelbee’s Shoppe and will be reformatting my entire website next week to accommodate an online store. With the cold and snow upon us here in the North Country and my husband getting ready to leave for 2 months, I don’t plan on having very many vendor events or in-home parties again until Spring. So I need to get my online shop up and running! And on the…

Find It In You To #SpreadTheKindness/Link Up #3
*After finding myself completely overwhelmed this past week trying to catch up with blogging things and then being slammed by illness, my dear friend Amy offered to write a post for me to help out. Thanks so much, Amy, for always being so supportive and willing to help out! Find It In You To #SpreadTheKindness Guest post by Amy Langa of 5 Memory Lane End the rage. End the holiday madness. Stop the angst. Slow down. It’s all about perspective and expectation management. I decided to make a list of reminders of how to be thankful or kind, even when life seems like it is coming at you all at…

Happy Thanksgiving & Link Up On the Edge #24
I would like to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving! Today and everyday, I am thankful for so many things. For those of you do not already know, I had minor surgery on Tuesday. Just a uterine ablation and tubal ligation. Today, I am feeling just a bit sore and hope to get lots of rest over the weekend so I am ready to jump on an airplane next Thursday and jet off to Californina to see the sketch of myself (and 51 other gorgeous bloggers) in Anne M. Bray’s Fashion Rainbow at TAG Gallery. Thank you, Anne, for the fabulous artwork and for giving me a little push to…

What To Wear To A Fall Wedding: 6 Outfits by 6 Gorgeous Gals
A few weeks ago, Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood invited me to join her and a few other bloggers for a collaboration post on fall wedding outfits.

#SpreadTheKindness Movement (and Link Up) & My New Lularoe Carly Dress
Now more than ever, I believe it is of the utmost importance to be spreading kindness and love wherever we go. The holidays have arrived and while many people feel moved by the spirit of the holidays, there are also so many who feel depressed, stressed, tired, or just angry for various reasons at this time of year. Add that to a time of social tension in our country that has arrived in the wake of a controversial Presidential election and emotions are running high. Many people are edgy to say the least. We are watching people every day expressing their emotions by acting out in cruel and frightening ways. We are…

How to Wear Over the Knee Socks Over 40: Take 2 & Link Up On the Edge #23
A few weeks ago, I received a reader request for another outfit featuring over the knee socks. The request actually came from a man who would like his over-40 wife to wear OTK socks more often and feel comfortable in them. You can read the original OTK sock post here. I am a huge fan of OTK socks with dresses or skirts. It has been one of my favorite trends since I was in high school. I went through a period of time where I felt “too old” to wear this style. But I have since changed my mind and I wear whatever the heck I want! I also am…

A Ray of Sunshine in a Hate-Filled World
If you are friends with me or follow me on Facebook, then you already know that I have been receiving some pretty nasty messages and comments in response to my post about the Presidential election. Toward the end of that post, I stated, “Also know that I guarantee that I will NOT respond to harsh and unkind words. So if you are looking for a debate or an argument, you will not be satisfied here.” Being a person who reserves my right to change my mind, I have done just that. I have changed my mind. And at the end of this post, you will find my response to the…

My Religion: The Greatest Of These Is Love
I began a recent post My Response to the Presidential Election with the words “I am not a political person. Nor am I a religious person. But I am a passionate person.” The post then went on to discuss my political (or lack thereof) views. And the part about not being religious was just left hanging out there undiscussed. Not wanting to just leave it hanging there undiscussed, I figured now was as a good a time as any to share my religious views with you. They are quite similar to my political views. My feelings are this: if what you believe gets you through the day and the night…
