Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #15: It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Welcome to the fifteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback with a recap of yesterday’s games. It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year The greatest time of year is upon us. No, I do not mean Christmas. I’m talking about college football bowl season! Although if you really think about it, it is like having a three week Christmas celebration, 40 games in 23 days with the National Championship to close it out. It really is the most wonderful time of the year! Autonation Cure Bowl Tulane Green Wave 41 – Louisiana-Lafayette Rajun Cajuns 24 This game featured…

It’s the Little Things with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #124
“Perfect happiness is a beautiful sunset, the giggle of a grandchild, the first snowfall. It’s the little things that make happy moments, not the grand events. Joy comes in sips, not gulps.” -Sharon Draper “Joy comes in sips, not gulps.” My word, isn’t that the truth? In the past few weeks, I have been sipping away like a delighted young child who has not yet been scarred by the harshness of living. I have been enjoying each and every moment of abundant bliss and have been allowing myself to indulge in all the “little things that make happy moments”. And like I child, I really do get ridiculously excited over…

Little Red Dress & Your Own Twist Link Up #3
Today we have another guest blogger! Ewa from 60 Plus Experience is joining us with the red dress theme, with a little bit of a twist. Why not wear a long red vest instead of a red dress if you don’t have a red dress? When Monica presented red dresses as the theme for this month’s Your Own Twist Link Up, my brain immediately went to holiday inspired fancy red dresses like this lacy number I wore last year for New Year’s Eve or something sexy and sassy like this little red dress I wore for my professional photo shoot two summers back. I didn’t really want to repeat…

Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #101
On Saturday, I completed the Shaklee 7 Day Healthy Cleanse which guarantees that you will feel better in one week. From my experience, I think they have most definitely satisfied their guarantee. A few of the benefits that you can expect from this cleanse include improved focus and energy, enhanced mood and sleep quality, detox and healthy digestion, a jump start for weight loss and reduction in food cravings. I have never done a cleanse of any sort so this was a brand new experience for me and I really did not know what to expect. The diet for the week consisted of all fruits and vegetables, mostly raw, some…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #14: America’s Game
Welcome to the fourteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback. America’s Game #22 Army Black Knights 17 – Navy Midshipmen 10 Playing for the 119th time since 1890, Army versus Navy has become an iconic symbol of college football. The game in which players will not be heading to the NFL draft to play on Sundays but instead will be donning uniforms to serve their country 365 days a year. The game in which the rivalry, the pure love of the game, and of course, cross service bragging rights are what really matter. The atmosphere at an Army/Navy game…

Thoughts About Plaid with EvaTrends & Link Up On the Edge #123
It is no secret that I adore plaid and that I love the selection of clothing from EvaTrends. So when I was asked to collaborate with them by sharing 3 items of my choosing, I simply could not resist this adorable Plaid Leisure Dress. The last EvaTrends dress I shared was all about the leopard print, another favorite pattern of mine. But leopard is a print that I had to grow to love whereas I think I came into this world with a strong affection for all things plaid. There is just something about the lines and colors of a tartan that make me feel nostalgic for a time that…

Wednesday’s Quote of the Week: About Life & Change
Oh, this crazy life. And the universe and all of its wild plans. So often, we can feel like we’ve lost control, like we have no say in our destiny, like the plans have already been made without our consent. And sometimes that may be true. But then on other occasions, we realize that we actually do have some control over our lives. We have the power to make changes whenever we feel that change is needed. I have a dear friend who always says that when we find something in our lives that we do not like, we have three choices. We can accept it, we can change it,…

Let Light Shine & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #100
I cannot believe that my #SpreadTheKindness Link Up as reached 100 weeks of sharing light and spreading kindness. So many wonderful posts that have been linked here. In the two years of its existence, nearly 8,000 posts have joined these link parties. Eight thousand creative, inspiring, brilliantly drafted blog posts on all sorts of fun and interesting topics. To all who have joined, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. This link up began in response to a horrible backlash I received over two years ago when I shared My Response to the Presidential Election. I don’t do politics. I don’t discuss them. I don’t usually…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #13: Championship Weekend Recap
Welcome to the thirteenth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! Turning it over now to my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback. Championship Weekend Recap and Selection Sunday With my Nittany Lions sitting out this Championship Weekend, I’ve decided this edition of the Sunday Morning Quarterback will cover all of the games played yesterday. Today at noon also marks Selection Sunday for the final season rankings and bowl game selections. As much as I’d love to see Penn State head to a New Years Six game, I’m thinking the Citrus Bowl (a.k.a the best of the rest) will be our most likely destination. MAC Championship Game Northern Illinois 30 – Buffalo…
