Hello, Monday...back to work, which means I'm up and at 'em starting about 5:15 am. I am a morning person but on Monday morning it is much more difficult to get going. Does anyone else feel that way at all? Ever? Every week? On the flip side, I am thankful to be employed and on top of that I enjoy my co-workers. Yes, friends, I am blessed! This is something I tend to struggle to remember because I often take so much of my life for granted. I'm thinking I am not alone as I walk down ... Continue Reading...
Summer Remix - Week 1
Hello, Monday! Today begins a new remix challenge with Caitlin at Greater than Rubies. My first remix challenge was with Caitlin back in January. It was a great way to start out the new year. I learned so much from that challenge so I am really excited to try it again. Hopefully, I have chosen better pieces to remix together, but we shall see by the end of the month. If I learned anything, it was to choose weather appropriate clothing for the season. In January, I simply chose items that I could ... Continue Reading...
Summer Style Me Challenge - Week 3
As the Summer Style Me Challenge at Get Your Pretty On continues, I have found myself drawn to a couple of items that were on the shopping list that I thought I definitely would not like.

Of course, now that I would like to find a pair they are getting more difficult to find {sold out and I still have ... Continue Reading...
RRR & Summer Remix Challenge
Today, I'm glad it's Monday. I have my act together {unlike last week when I did not post at all on Monday} and am up for today's challenge. When Caitlin posted the idea of taking something from childhood and updating it, I really stumped for quite a while. I haven't thought much about childhood in...well, what feels like forever. But then I remembered an outfit from elementary that was one of my favorites. My mom made so many of my clothes when I was growing up and I always just took it for ... Continue Reading...
Summertime & Shorts!
Summertime! It's almost here. I am so ready for warm weather, shorts and eating the fantastic food my hubby prepares on the grill {insert BIG smiley face}. I'm also excited for summer dresses and sandals. AND what I'm getting really stoked about is the Style Me Pretty Summer Challenge. Please read about it here and really, truly SIGN UP! Mention my name and get a good seat, so to speak. If you have been following along with me then you know I had a blast during the Spring Style Me Challenge. I ... Continue Reading...
Remix.Rewear.Restyle & Redress: Reconstruction
It's Monday! You know the drill, on Monday I link up with Greater than Rubies. The challenge today is part of Redress {Reconstruction}. When I did a little research on this, I quickly realized I have nothing {not a thing} that I have reconstructed. Do I have a sewing machine {yes}, scissors {yes}, hot glue {yes}, various items with which I could experiment with {yes}. So what is my hang up? Creativity, courage and time to take on the challenge. And here's why... The month of April was extremely ... Continue Reading...
