Summer Fashion: Make It Your Own

“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way you live.” – Gianni Versace I’m not one for trends. I like the trends, but they don’t always like me or my body shape. So Gianni Versace was right when he said “don’t make fashion own you.” I dress for comfort and for the way I live. I wear scrubs every day, so when it’s time to go out, I like to dress up and wear high heels. But with summer right […]

Photo Source: Pinterest I have to believe that a bad day doesn’t have to feel like I have a bad life, but right now it just seems like my husband and I can’t win for losing. I’ve been worried about my oldest dog – Dakota, a 15-year-old Chi-Pom – who has been sick for the past couple of days. I took him to the vet on Thursday morning, left him there so they could run a battery of tests, and was informed late that afternoon that his bladder has shifted from its normal position in the abdominal cavity up into his […]

Wanderlust: France

Every summer, that feeling of wanderlust hits me so strong that I spend hours looking at travel sites dreaming of where I’d love to be at that exact moment in time. Photo Source: Maptia Blog My mind wanders and I wish that I could (1) have my summers off like I did when I was young and in school, (2) travel the world, spending time in fabulous locations, and (3) afford to actually travel to these locations. So I decided to put together my wish list, or my “bucket list”, of exotic, beautiful, and faraway places that I’d love to […]

Don't' Just Sit There… Do Something!

I have three nieces, all over the age of 12, and when I found this “activity list” on Pinterest, I immediately thought of them. This list is great for kids of all ages! This list also has some great ideas for families. With the summer between school years getting shorter, it seems, this is a quick activities list filled with great ideas – from chores (clean your room, learn to use the washing machine) to cooking sessions (cupcakes, pizzas), and crafts (make a bird feeder, make a rain water collector) to adventures (pretend you’re a knight, go to a museum).
