Graphic Tees, Sarasota Tidbits, & Homeschool Adventures

"Take me to the sea..." That's a quote I can fall in love with. In fact, my family and I anticipated lots of playtime along the shoreline when we discovered that Sarasota would be our new home. However, the red tide algae has plagued the gulf shores of Florida since June. Before moving to Sarasota, I had never heard of red tide.  Well today I'm sharing the little I've learned, taking you along for our most recent adventures around the town, during a not-so-typical homeschool day, and of course sharing a little fashion.

Our Georgia Season Finale: Beauty In Community

If my blog and life were a television series, I'd say this moment right here would be apart of the season finale. The series isn't complete. On the contrary, a whole new season is in the works, but I need to wrap up this Georgia season. Now, I may be the writer behind the screen, but the ultimate Writer added some twists to the story that still causes my heart to skip a beat and my eyes to fill with tears.

So my dears, this will be a long one. I hope you'll bookmark this page for when you have a free moment and settle in with me as I share this sweet story...

Show Me Your Smile: Costco Shorts, A Graphic Tee & Cupcakes

Hey friends! It's morning and I'm sitting in a hotel lobby at continental breakfast time. We're on our family vacation, but it's much more than that. My eyes are puffy and my face has that swollen look of a fitful sleep. Conversations ebb and flow around me and I'm mildly self-conscious of the large size pictures of myself glaring from computer screen when folks pass by. Ah well, welcome to the world of blogging, right?

Two Pencil Skirts and Another Graphic Tee Giveaway!

I have a candle going, a few moments of peace in the house and my laptop ready share two business casual looks, featuring pencil skirts. In addition, I'm revealing my latest graphic tee "giveaway" from Beats & Breath! I'm so happy you're here!!

A Few Good Things to Take to the Zoo & Some Zoo Fashion

So you're going to the zoo, maybe? The zoo is one of the few places that we can go as a family and everyone is on board with the idea. My boys range from 9 to 16 so they tend to have very different ideas of what's fun. Not with the zoo. We ALL think it's fun!  This year we are making good use of our zoo membership by visiting few times, however we can always add more! And thanks to my brother, we did...

Floral Kimono is Never a No-No & "Local Favorite" Finds a Home

Boho Casual & The Jack of All Trades in Style & Beauty

Hi! Have I ever told you how hair-challenged I am? Well, the struggle to get the right curl effect going on, or the right blo dry look is REAL. Though I'm continuing to improve, I ardently look forward to my haircut and/or color appointments! Of course I love the fun conversations that always happen in the chair, but leaving with a great style is what I came for, right?? Well, this time I had the opportunity to check out a new salon with some extra styling perks...!

Graphic Tees and Nitro Coffee Please

Hello my friends! Are you officially experiencing spring yet? We have sunshine friends. I repeat we have sunshine and temps in the 70s. You know what this means, right? Iced-coffee! And we could all move on into the happy thoughts of sun dresses and iced coffee but before we do I think we should consider a trending cup of joe, known as nitro coffee. Have you heard of it?

The Sweetest Outfit I've Ever Worn

Hey friends! What's up with the crazy socks, right?? If you've been following my blog for any length of time, then you probably know about my adventures in cupcakes that began last April. Here's a short recap:  I walked into Splat Cakes & Such bakery for the second time ever to celebrate their 1st birthday in business in Georgia. I went for the $1.00 cupcakes. 

However, I didn't know it yet, but I left with an adventure that turned into over 100 mini-adventures! What would I do with the gift of a free cupcake a day for a year? I'd certainly eat some, go on date nights with the hubby, my four boys would get plenty, but the true adventure arose when I began to share them with friends, acquaintances and even a few I didn't know. Each occasion was recorded and I grew excited when I realized how close I was to 100!
