Something Only a Parent Can Appreciate
My daughter celebrated her 8th birthday last weekend. As parents often do, we remember on that day how this wonderful child who is growing up so quickly, came into this world.

What Does Loyalty Mean To You?
In any relationship loyalty is a huge factor for me as is trust. They both go hand in hand but if I had to choose just one to be the most important I would probably pick loyalty. That IF you were able to separate them and maybe you can’t. Loyalty defined is having faithfulness and... READ MORE »

Being Big Enough to Say “I’m Sorry”

Print Mixing: The Fear is All in Your Head
My personal style has never been very daring. I wear prints paired with solids and neutrals. If I do find a large, bold print to wear, I will match it with all black, shoes, skinnies, and a cardigan.
