Hello Friends and Merry Merry Christmas 2012!
I hope you all had a wonderful day filled with love and happiness – nothing more and nothing less – stay blessed my friends.
Today’s outfit is easy, breezy, stretchy, comfy – perfect for my activity level of the day. If you follow me on Instagram you saw a few Christmas morning pics with my “boys” and their “toys”.

No matter their age, my sons will always be little boys on Christmas morning under the tree!

Hello Friends and Merry Christmas Eve!
‘Twas the night before Christmas in the late 1980’s with my lil sister, Gloria, (RIP my dear angel); then into the 1990’s with my grandmother (RIP Mama) was a tradition that is now continuing with my sons in the 2000’s. On Christmas Eve we pile into the car, turn on the radio; listening to Christmas carols while driving to “Santa Claus Lane” to see the “Christmas House” . I have pictures of my sons all giddy and excited when they were younger but now just looking at me like I have two heads and wanting to get home. One day, God willing this tradition will continue with their children.
Once home, I start drinking Egg Nog or wine, and wrap presents while watching my all time favorite movie another Christmas Eve tradition ~ 24 hour marathon of “A Christmas Story” – “you’ll shoot your eye out!”
Have a fantabulous night – Smooches!

Hello Friends and Happy Christmas Eve Eve!
This afternoon #2 son and I went to Costco and Target and it was a crazy madhouse, I left tired with a headache and empty handed (too many crying babies). I have one more day to get a gift for #1 son and do my grocery shopping for the week so I will be up and out early tomorrow.
Last night I attended a Holiday slash “Obama Victory Party” hosted by a member of a OFA team who touts themselves as the ones who gave a Pennsylvania victory to the President. The hostess has a beautiful home that was fully decorated with the sights and sounds of the holidays. The dining room table was festively set with delicious foods and sweets and Poinsettias filled each room. It was a wonderful mix of guests and for a few hours we bonded, sharing stories, laughs and genuinely enjoying each other’s company. It was a lovely way to start off the holiday weekend and for that I say, thank you Delores!”

Heading out for the night



I hope you guys have a wonderful night – Smooches!

Do you need shoes for a holiday event or a pair of boots for a particular outfit and don’t want to break the bank? Rugged Wearhouse is a great place to find both shoes and boots for under $20.00, here are just a few that caught my eye:

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
This week is flying by and tomorrow is the first day of winter or Winter Solstice, the shortest day and the longest night of the year – are you ready? After the 21st, the days start to get longer and I begin to think Spring – yay!!! However, in anticipation and celebration of Winter Solstice I decided to go full wool in gray including an oversized sweater thrifted from GW Boutique (Goodwill).
Sweater and Skirt – GW Boutique (Goodwill) // Footless Tights – Rugged Wearhouse // Boots and Scarf- Closet staples
These are my favorites “go-to” boots, I wear them throughout the fall and winter months with pants and skirts
Wearing silver accessories which is my favorite metal for the winter
I will definitely NOT be wearing a coat or jacket because all of this wool will definitely keep me warm and toasty!
Happy Last Day of Fall 2012 – Smooches!
P.S. Don’t want to hear no mess about tomorrow being the end of the world – puhleeze!!!!

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
Yay, today my energy level is high, and I am getting excited about having off next week – I hope to take a day or two and just do nothing! I also plan to use a day to clean out my closets and prepare a large Goodwill donation before the end of the year. Raising a glass to a productive and stress free day – cheers!
Checking for Malik’s school bus – don’t want him to be late for school – lol

How do you like the pattern mixing of the poncho with the top? I used to love wearing Ponchos in High School.

Hello Friends and Happy Tuesday
Normally I am positive and upbeat but today I feel zapped – my energy level is low and the high anticipation of Christmas and New Years has waned – I AM TIRED! It’s because of all the death and destruction around us…from Hurricane Sandy to the massacres at Sandy Hook Elementary School- I am praying for strength and peace for our nation.
Not that it makes matters worse but I just realized that I last wore this skirt on 9/11 (see here)…things have definitely got to get better, being on vacation next week may help.
