Hey there friends! We are back from New Orleans and had a wonderful weekend with Lauren and her family.

Hey friends! I’m heading to New Orleans tomorrow with my sister for a long weekend, but wanted to share this outfit before I go. This time of year the weather is up and down, back and forth between cool and warm, so layering is what I’m all about for Spring months. I love the feel of a cozy lightweight cardigan ...

Good morning and welcome to a new week! It’s a busy week for me.

Our family loves breakfast. You know, the Southern kind of breakfast that involves ham and biscuits and probably something you may have never heard of before. Grits and tomato gravy. If that doesn’t ring a bell with you, you probably didn’t grow up in the South. We happen to love breakfast for lunch or dinner, so last week, mama cooked ...

Happy Wednesday! Time for another fashion over 50 and today’s post is an outfit I wore a couple of weeks ago to a dinner party at a friend’s house. It’s nice to get a little more fixed up than normal and it was a coolish spring evening so I had to have a little big of cover on my arms. ...

Good morning and Happy April 1st! Hope you all had a fun weekend! We had a productive weekend. I got the back patio all pressure washed and almost ready for the spring/summer season. Felt so good to get that chore done and everything looking good again. It’s amazing how dirty a patio can get after a rainy season like we ...

As we all know, prescription drugs can be very costly. We all look for ways to cut costs in medical expenses, don’t we? I know I do! Luckily, I’m not on too many medications, but with age comes some of that and I do have a couple of prescriptions that I have to get refilled every few months. If I ...

I bought a jumpsuit! For the first time since around 1978, I bought a jumpsuit. I really can’t remember the last jumpsuit I had on, but it had to be late 70’s or early 80’s and I did have a few back then. So, here’s how I found the jumpsuit. Ross stores has an annual dress event. I have bought ...
