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.

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #7: An Ugly Win is Still a Win
#18 Penn State Nittany Lions 33 – Indiana Hoosiers 28 Welcome to the seventh episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the highlights from yesterday’s Penn State game against Indiana. An Ugly Win is Still a Win Following consecutive losses to Ohio State and Michigan State, a game against Indiana may have been what the doctor ordered to right the Nittany Lions season. Sporting a 20-1 career record against the Hoosiers, they seemed like the perfect opponent to get the team ready for a brutal three week stretch coming up against Iowa, Michigan, and Wisconsin, all of whom are ranked in the…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #6: A Career Day Still Ends in Defeat
Michigan State Spartans 21 – #8 Penn State Nittany Lions 17 Welcome to the sixth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with another disappointing recap of yesterday’s game. A Career Day Still Ends in Defeat What started as a career day for quarterback Trace McSorley ended in a stinging defeat for the #8 Nittany Lions. For a second consecutive year, the Spartans handed them a loss on the last drive of the game and once again sealed Penn State’s fate to play for a National Championship. Starting the day, McSorley needed just 40 yards passing in order to become Penn State’s all…

Words of Advice to My Younger Self & A Special Link Up
Y’all I know I love a good celebration! And today I am joining some amazing blogger friends to celebrate Monica’s 31st birthday in true blogger style! Be sure to hop over to Jersey Girl, Texan Heart and see who else has joined this special birthday collaboration. In honor of her birthday, Monica has asked us all to share some words of wisdom with our younger selves. Reflecting back on this post from a few weeks ago, I realized that we all struggle with self-confidence from the moment that we become self-aware and start comparing ourselves to everyone else around us. This is the commencement of a lifelong fight toward self-love.…

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…

What to Wear Mushroom Picking & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #92
I cannot thank you all enough for all of the wonderful words of encouragement on Friday’s post about losing my mojo. I felt so much kindness from all of you as I make my way through this transition in my life. And I took much of what was shared to heart…I took the weekend off from blogging and will be slowly easing back into it this week. I am planning my Link Up On the Edge post for Thursday and I will have a special birthday link up on Friday to celebrate Monica’s birthday! And then I might be making some minor changes…but that remains to be seen. In the…

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…

Creating an Outfit with Second Hand Items
As a lover of fast fashion, I never paid much heed to the damaging effects that the rapid turnaround of cheap clothes can have on the environment. Since I have started working at my local consignment shop, I am realizing that I do not have to always buy into the next best thing hitting major retail chains…because eventually those things end up in the local second hand shops anyway…where I can buy them for less and it is absolutely proven to be better for the environment. The more clothing we can keep out of landfills, the better. So recycle, reuse, upcycle, pass on, pass down, shop second hand, donate, or…

Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback #5: White Out Disappointment
#4 Ohio State Buckeyes 27 – #9 Penn State Nittany Lions 26 Welcome to the fifth episode of Shelbee’s Sunday Morning Quarterback! And here’s my husband, the Sunday Morning Quarterback, with the disappointing recap of last night’s game. Hey, at least we ate well! White Out Disappointment A record attendance of 110,889 packed into Beaver Stadium for the annual White Out game against #4 Ohio State. By the time the final whistle blew, most felt like it was a repeat of last year’s loss in Columbus. A halftime lead gone and then a 12 point lead erased with 8 minutes to go and finally a 1 point loss on…

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…
