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.

Lake Placid Travel Day & Link Up On the Edge #94
Life is really kicking my butt lately. Allergy season is upon us which seems to have gotten the best of me and my kids today. We are all coughing and sneezing and congested and ever so sleepy. So once again, I did not get my post written in a timely manner. And this bothers me some because I am a very timely person. But alas, my muse must be sleeping right now because the struggle is real trying to find the words I want to share. Maybe the allergies have got hold of her as well. Or maybe she is suffering with menopause like I am. I’m tired, my friends.…

The Sunday Showcase: A Day Late & A History Lesson Short
When my very dear friend Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood asked me to join her and two of my other very dear blogging friends, Chrissy of Granola and Grace and Kellyann of This Blonde’s Shopping Bag, as their co-host once again for their monthly link up, The Sunday Showcase, I couldn’t really say no. These three women, after all, are some of my closest blogging friends in all of the blogging realm and I will support them any chance I get just as they all support me. *This is not a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. But then I asked Ada, “Is there…

Laughter, Luggage Carts & Link Up On the Edge #93
I dedicate this post to my fabulously creative, wonderfully quirky, brilliantly artistic, and fantastically goofy friend, Anne M. Bray of Spy Girl. Anne, I hope you appreciate how completely odd I really am. For those of you know me personally and probably many of you who know me virtually, you most likely already know that I can have fun just about anywhere at any time under nearly any circumstances. I could have fun in an empty room by myself…now don’t let your minds go all perverted with that idea…but well, you know, I will just leave that one alone. Moving on… One of my main philosophies of life is this:…

Happy Birthday, Sweet Ada & Thursday Moda Link Up
Today is a very special post to celebrate and honor my dear friend, Ada of Elegance and Mommyhood. For this is her 38th Birthday and the 6th Birthday Celebration on her blog where she invites her closest fashion loving blogger friends to join in her a huge collaboration. This year there are 24 of us posting on our blogs over two days to show our support, our love, and our gratitude for Ada and for all that she does within this blogging community. “Every year that I have been blogging, since I became a mom, I thought it would be fun to have a Blog Birthday Party on my blog,…

Esqido Lashes with Makeover Giveaway & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #70
I am back from my mini vacation in Lake Placid! We took a lot of photos, drank too much alcohol, ate way too much really amazing food, stayed up until the wee morning hours, and had more fun than we could have even anticipated. I am mentally and emotionally recharged, but physically quite tired from all the fun! Isn’t that a great problem to have? I am still organizing photos and thoughts and all that stuff, so you will have to wait for more on my girls’ weekend getaway. Coming soon… *This is a sponsored post. The lashes were provided to me for review by Esqido Lashes and the makeover…

My Mary Kay Makeover & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #69
They say there is a first time for everything. I say great things happen outside of your comfort zone. So here it is…me going way outside of my comfort zone and doing something I have never done on my blog before…I am going to share a picture of myself without makeup. Brace yourselves for it…I am so not comfortable with this! But if I am going to share my Mary Kay makeover with you all, I guess I need to share my starting point…my face sans makeup! *This is not a sponsored post. As always, all thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. So there it is…I faced my fears…

Ruby Ribbon Lace Leggings
Do you remember a few weeks ago when I shared my Ruby Ribbon wish list? Well, I did order two of the camis, the Lace Full Support Cami in Deep Sea and the Sheer Full Support Cami in Black. They are such a great alternative to bras! Super comfortable, moisture wicking, and supportive! *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. With my purchase of the two camis, I was eligible to receive $30 off a pair of capri leggings and I chose the Lace Capri Leggings in Black. Let me first tell you that I don’t wear leggings very often at all, but…

My Coffee Needs Coffee and Crybaby Soup & Link Up On the Edge #91
As I am sitting down to write this post at the final hour, I am really wanting to climb into bed after a hectic day that ended with the most trying of times with my 5 year old. You all know that I don’t like to complain much, especially on my blog, but this is quickly going to turn into a major bitch session. For that I apologize. I will try to inject it with humor at least. In the meantime, would somebody please start cooking up some crybaby soup for me? *This is not a sponsored post. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own. 1. That first paragraph…

Empowered By Color: The Color Green
This post is for my dear blogging friend, Suzy Turner, the one person on earth whom I know loves the color green as much as I do. Perhaps it is because we both have green eyes that fuels our passion for this color. Perhaps it is because we both see the world as a place full of possibilities and astonishing beauty that draws us to this most common hue found in nature. But whatever the reason, Suzy shares my adoration of all things green. We have both agreed that if we see something in green, especially in the sartorial world, we must have it. Suzy Turner in Various Shades of…

20 Things That Make Me Happy & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up #68
In light of my more serious and somewhat depressing content from yesterday’s post, I decided to turn my face to the sunshine (wherever it is currently hiding) and share with you all some of the things in my life that make me happy. Because today is #SpreadTheKindness Day here On the Edge…and sometimes just sharing our happy things with the world is one way of throwing kindness like confetti. (FYI…confetti does not make me happy. I actually kind of despise confetti. Such a mess.) *This is not a sponsored post. Without further adieu and in no particular order, here are 20 things that make me happy. 1. My kids. When…
