10 on the 10th: February 2023-The Love/Hate Edition & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #639
And here we are again, at the 10th of another month, which means it is time for Marsha’s 10 on the 10th series where she presents us with 10 questions about a common theme and asks us to share our answers in blog post form. This series is such a wonderful way to share more information about ourselves and to learn interesting new things about others. Anyone is invited to join and answer the questions. It is a great way to start new conversations and make meaningful connections with new people. As a fan of dichotomies (like myself), Marsha chose a series of love/hate questions for February, to celebrate the month of…

13 Years on the Road to Forever & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #637
Monday, January 23, 2023, was our 13th wedding anniversary so Jeff surprised me by taking the day off from work so we could spend the day together while the kids were at school. We had discussed going out for an anniversary date night dinner over the weekend, but I don’t really like to leave my house when it’s all dark and cold outside. Winter is for hibernating, not for late nights out. Also I much prefer a day date when my energy is at its highest level. Given the limited time span of a school day, we had to cram a whole bunch of things into our A-Day schedule which…

Songful Style | “Tell Me Baby” by Red Hot Chili Peppers & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #635
Y’all, I am still trying to catch up on things after the holidays and the all the flu bugs that we hosted for longer than anyone likes to host a flu bug. So I apologize that I have been kind of absent from visiting and commenting on the blogs of all of my favorite blogging buddies. I haven’t even been joining your wonderful link parties over the past two weeks because by the time all of the other life things are completed, I am downright pooped. Too pooped to do much of anything except melt into my couch and stare at Netflix. Please bear with me while I get my…

A New Year is Almost Here & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #633
“Celebrate endings—for they precede new beginnings.” Jonathan Lockwood Huie “New beginnings are in order, and you are bound to feel some level of excitement as new chances come your way.” Oscar Auliq-Ice If you celebrate any December holidays, whether it is Kwanza, Christmas, Chanukah, Festivus, the Winter Solstice, Boxing Day, New Year’s Eve or any combination of these occasions, I hope you are enjoying the holiday spirit in whatever ways bring you joy and happiness. We had a lovely quiet Christmas at home with the boys which was, thankfully, our plan for this year anyway. With Snowmageddon canceling all sorts of holiday travel plans across the nation, we were grateful…

Songful Style | “Here to Forever” by Death Cab for Cutie & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #632
I had intended to have this post written last week but things have really gotten away from me this month. Although we are heading into Christmas weekend and I really wanted to take a short blogging break, I still wanted to share some musical inspiration for our final Songful Style collaboration of the year, which we will be posting on Monday. I also wanted to let you all know that Michelle has returned to our little band of fashion lovers and we are so excited to have her back! So she will be choosing our next song for January which I will share with you on Monday. Until then, enjoy…
