Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday
‘Ole Man Winter is finally giving up with temps rising every day this week, by Good Friday all the snow should be melted. Yesterday schools dismissed early so kids in the neighborhood had a chance to play in the snow, 1 house even made a family of snow people including a dog, it was so cute.
I miss not having little guys anymore and hate to see kids that are too attached to electronics. I’ve seen toddlers in grocery carts playing with their parent’s iPhones or iPads. I don’t know about you but sometimes I just want to go outside and play! Growing up we were up and out early riding bikes, jumping Double Dutch, playing Jacks, BoxBall, Hop Scotch, Red Light Green Light 1-2-3, Freeze Tag, all kinds of outside games.
I truly miss those times – what were some of your favorite childhood games?

Hello Friends and Happy Monday
I hope you all had a good weekend, mine was nice and it started with a Transformation Bonfire at church Friday night, where we all witnessed a Meteorite. I had just put away my iPad after taking pictures of the bonfire so didn’t get a chance to capture it, did you see it? We were outside in the cold so the songs, prayers and Sermonette was short, and it ended with an unburdening. We were encouraged to write down anything that we wanted to be released from and then cast it into the fire. Only hours before I was informed that my Aunt has passed, she had been suffering with emphysema for years and God finally released her from her pain and suffering – RIP Aunt Myrtle.
We woke up this morning to a Wonderful Winter Wonderland…Spring will just have to wait a little longer. Although it is very pretty to look at it wasn’t so pretty to drive in, it took 2 hours to get to work and it’s still snowing so it will be a long commute home.
Today’s outfit had to be changed from a skirt and blouse to pants and top for a casual and comfortable Monday.

Closet staples – pants, top and boots

Sunday dinner wasn’t an easy, breezy Crockpot meal but it was an easy fix.
Turkey ham was sliced at the deli, thickness #8; sweet potatoes, pre-packaged salad greens with tomato, and Peach Cobbler for dessert.
Turkey ham slices topped with pineapple rings and Cloves seasoning
Peeled and sliced sweet potatoes (candied yams) covered with mixture of brown sugar and water and a few pats of butter
Peach Cobbler for dessert
I didn’t make fresh collards or kale and decided against the salad, instead opened a can of Glory Seasoned Turnip Greens
Sunday dinner is served

Saturday, was our 3rd trip to a car dealership in search of a replacement vehicle for Tayair. He and I went to Hertrich’s Auto Dealership in New Castle looking to get information on leasing a new Hyundai, however, several Pre-Owned 2011 Accents caught our attention.
I drive a 2005 Sonata and Tayair has a 2002 Elantra so we are leaning towards getting another Hyundai, I need to check into their Customer Loyalty Program for additional savings. These Pre-Owned vehicles are still under warranty and were priced at $11,908 – $11,913, each with less than 40k miles. We did check out a sporty new 2013 Elantra but with a sticker price of $19,944, it was too far out of our budget!
We are not in a big hurry to make a purchase or lease so Tayair is online doing more research on each of the 3 vehicles – stay tuned!

It all started with an email containing a picture of these Fioni floral heels and then another email with a $10 off coupon, it was then on like popcorn! I’m so sorry that I fell off the “won’t shop this month” wagon…but not so sorry that I won’t share this Payless shoe haul with you!
These Fioni Kit Print heels were my intended but weren’t available in my size, the sales associate called other stores and found a pair at the Concord Mall. I was then given a $4.00 coupon for the inconvenience of having to go to another location to purchase. The manager and both sales associates were very pleasant and helpful, making my shopping experience a positive one, so much so that I purchased 4 pairs!
Pink Brash – didn’t buy but were perfectly priced @ $9.00
Black Fioni Kipsie – on sale 1/2 price
Predictions Natural – $10
Brash Purple – $7.00
Christian Siriano for Payless – La Femme Exotic
Also available in Oxblood
Thanks to the helpful and pleasant staff at Payless!
Total shoe haul with coupon and AAA card discount was $37.78
I drove to the Concord Mall after work to get the Fioni Kit Print and also got the Fioni Kipsie in Pink, spending an additional $26.08, used AAA card and $2.00 off code for completing the online survey printed on the receipt! This shoe haul netted 6 pairs of shoes, averaging $10.60 each pair, I now have more than enough for the season and will begin purging existing to donate or sell at next month’s flea market.
Next stop is to the salon for a much needed pedicure!
Have a great weekend – Smooches!

Good afternoon friends, I just returned from the Exton Square Mall…I know I wasn’t supposed to spend any money this month but … oh well… I broke my fast…couldn’t help it!
Anywho, I had to return a skirt at JC Penney but instead of taking back my $17.00, I gave them an additional $1.00 for these three pieces.
Peplum tops are also available in Fuschia, Green, and Aqua
High Waist Pencil Skirt – what color top should I wear with it?
Block Sweater also available in blue/black stripes
I also stopped in at Payless…OMG – that post is coming next but RUN don’t WALK there this weekend, trust me you won’t be disappointed. Don’t forget to show your AAA card for 10% discount and sign up online for their Rewards Program for additional savings.

Hello Friends and Happy Thursday, hope your day is going well.
Having Tuesday off from work has me a day behind mentally which may not be a bad thing because tomorrow is FRI-YAY!!!! It was somewhat depressing reading through the blogs last night, seeing all those beautiful and colorful maxi dresses and wishing for warmer days instead of dealing with these cold Winter winds. This morning we were greeted with snow showers…really Mother Nature – c’mon Spring!
In these pictures I may be smiling but I’m definitely not excited about these outfits, I want to shed the layers!
Sunday’s Suit
Suit – old closet staple // necklace – Jewelrymax.net // Mossimo Pumps via Target
Tuesday’s Wild Child
Boots & Purse – Avon // Jeggings – Kmart // Tunic Dress – Ross // Necklace – Jewelrymax.net // Belt – closet staple
Wednesday – 1st Day of Spring 2013
Cardigan – Ross or Marshalls // Skirt and Top – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Purse – Avon // Merona pumps via Target
Tired of This Weather Thursday
Sweater Vest – Marshalls // Gauchos – closet staple // Blouse – GW Boutique // Earrings – Icings // Bracelet – jewelry box
I had hoped that tomorrow the weather would be warmer but most likely it will be a “50’s Friday” Oh well, the temps will eventually increase but until then I will be wearing clothing from the winter wardrobe.
Have a fantabulous afternoon and don’t forget to check out the FB Page “Bloggers4JCPenney” – there are some great new postings.
Smooches!
