Budget Friendly Boots for Finicky Frozen Feet
What do you call boots that are always ready for winter? Snow problem! It is very snowy where I live so I was thrilled to join Jodie and Mireille in a collaboration with Online Shoe Deals.

The Thrifty Six in Wintergreen
Welcome to the final edition of 2024 for The Thrifty Six! We are a group of international fashion lovers who meet once a month in our little space on the internet to share our thrifty outfits.

The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Tartan
Welcome to December’s Good Buy/Good-Bye Book featuring all things Tartan (or plaid, checked, checkered, etc.) I have always loved plaids and tartans. It is one of my favorite pattern types because you can find it in countless different color combinations, sizes, and fabrics. Not only do I adore tartan clothing, I also love plaid in home decor items. But it doesn’t appear much in my home because, no matter how much I adore plaid, my husband absolutely despises it. He attributes his distaste for the pattern to having been “forced to wear plaid shirts as a child”. I guess he probably already hated plaid back then since he had to be “forced” to…

Giving Thanks & #SpreadTheKindness Link Up On the Edge #732
With Thanksgiving just around the corner, I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude. Gratitude for my family, my friends, my neighbors, my “village”. Gratitude for the people who restore my faith in humankind. Gratitude for my body and its ability to still do things with ease. Gratitude for my good health, both physical and mental. And so much gratitude for the healing home that my husband and I have created. It is a place where people feel safe, seen, heard, supported, and loved. I took a step back the other day to observe what we have made and I was so very proud of us. It was…
