Hello Friends and Happy Saturday, I hope you had an enjoyable day.
I am sitting at the kitchen table sipping Ginger tea trying to accept the fact that son #2 is no longer my baby. He and I had planned to go to Best Buy to purchase Dragon Speak software and an external DVD drive for his Notebook. I asked him to take a few shots before leaving and as he reluctantly did, he informed me that we had to be home by 4:00 because his “girlfriend” was coming over. “Girlfriend…girlfriend…did he say girlfriend?”
I was all smiles as he hadn’t told me yet
Huh, what did he just say?
Don’t get me wrong, he is 16 and has had crushes on girls before but this was going to be the first time I was actually going to meet “his girlfriend”, the first time a girl was coming to the house. I know…I know…but I’m gonna need something stronger than this tea!
And he knows that if he doesn’t do the right thing, these will be up his butt!
Just grin and bear it…..

Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday!
Now that the holidays are over and everyone is back to school and work we are now looking forward to the first major snow storm of the year. If I had it my way it wouldn’t hit until late March and then a quick thaw straight to Spring! I hope your Hump Day is progressing nicely and that you are not trying to cram 5 days of work into 3, but if you are, stop…take a deep breath and say, “the weekend is almost here!”
Belt or not?
I didn’t wear it to work because I felt it would take away from the necklace, what do you think?

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

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!
Today’s titled post; “Broken Boot Heel” makes me wonder why I bought these boots in the first place. I like the color but am no longer excited about them nor do I think they are cute. Perhaps if I had worn them with long pants or a maxi skirt? Hmm…well, I’m wearing them today but will probably donate to Goodwill before the end of the season.
What do think?

Hello friends and Happy Monday…Tuesday sorry – yesterday’s post was dedicated to my mother-in-law so I didn’t feature an outfit of the day. Before I begin I want to thank everyone for their comments as well as prayers because I do believe in the power of it! Yesterday she had a good day and although her body is weak and frail her mind is sharp and active – so keep on praying.
Monday’s outfit was a combo of black and white but I need to use splashes of color, I’ll be looking for some colorful scarves at Goodwill or maybe Plato’s Closet . I have never gone to a Plato’s Closet although there is one in Exton just a few miles from my job, and there is also one about a mile from The Hospice on Limestone Road, I’ll check one of them.
Scarf and Cowl neck top – closet staples // Houndstooth skirt – Goodwill // Black Studded Pumps – Goodwill
I wore a bunch of silver bangles, a pair of silver earrings and silver ring with a red stone, the only splash of color – lol
Again, thank you so much for praying – have a wonderful evening – Smooches!

Hello friends and Happy Monday. I hope you had a wonderful weekend and today proves to be stress free and productive.
Friday night and Sunday afternoon, my sons and I went to Heartland Hospice to visit my mother-in-law, their only living grandparent. It brought back so many memories, ones of my own grandmother who was cared for by nurses from Heartland. However, in her case she was able to be home with us in her own bed when she transitioned. The thought process and physical condition of my mother-in-law is identical to that of my grandmother’s, now knowing it’s only a matter of time. She is heavily medicated as to not be in much pain, in and out of consciousnesses often times becoming lucid which is heart breaking. She spoke of leaving soon to go home and make chili, naming all the ingredients she needed and then the next minute looked up at me to compliment my scarf and nail polish – tears!
My sons are once again losing a family elder and they held her hands just as they did with my grandmother their great-grandmother in 2009. The song Grandma’s Hands by Bill Withers was the song that accompanied a montage at my grandmother’s funeral and it’s appropriate for this post.
If you have your grandparents in your life please celebrate them especially during this joyous season as they are truly a treasure to be honored and cherished.
I also ask for prayers for my husband and his mother during this time.
