I follow this one blogger, Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific, and she has great style and wears some of the most amazing clothes. Anyway, I was perusing her wardrobe in one of her blog posts and came across a pair of camouflage pants, which I began to covet. I did a little research and discovered they came from Zara. I ordered them, but unfortunately, they didn’t fit. I needed one size larger, but they ultimately didn’t have my size (because I’m size curvy). My go-to wardrobe in the summer is dresses, and skirts with t-shirts. I wear my skinny jeans with dressy […]

For My Mom, on Mother’s Day
Dear Mom, Happy Mother’s Day, Mom! You have taken care of me, in one way or another, for the past 43 years, and you continue to take care of me to this day. You have become so much more than my mother. You are my friend.

Green Acres we are there.” Green Acres was a popular show back in the late 1960s-early 1970s. I was born in 1973, but I remember watching this show as […]
13 Gift Ideas for Mother’s Day
My mom is kind of special to me. I’m not saying that just to butter her up (because she does read my blog), but I mean it from the deepest corners of my heart. Not only do I get to honor and celebrate her on Mother’s Day, but her birthday is so close to Mother’s Day that she gets twice the gifts that most other mothers out there receive. On a couple of occasions, her birthday was actually on Mother’s Day (talk about special)! Since Mother’s Day is this coming weekend (May 8th), you better shake a leg and buy or make a […]
