I wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving Day. I hope it is a day of reflection and happiness; a day filled with family and love; a day to make memories while feeling nostalgic about the past. For this year's celebration, I decided to move the dining table into the library. It has been a life long … Continue reading Thanksgiving 2018
The Paradoxical Commandments "People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Love them anyway. If you do good, people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and … Continue reading Quote of the day 6/30/18
I am a bit behind on the "outfit of the day" posts and that is simply because if it doesn't feel organic, I just refrain from posting. I do like these outfits; the first, was for Father's Day and the second, was for a family party. I've really been into whites and neutrals lately. It … Continue reading Outfit of the day
For today's "Thrilling Thursday," I decided to include flea market finds from my weekly Wednesday shopping endeavor because the thrift store didn't have very many things today. The upside, I found the flea market deals for $1. Yay! In case you aren't familiar with Thursday thrifting at the Goodwill, everything that is marked with the … Continue reading Thrilling Thursday
Today's "Thrilling Thursday" adventure was brief and minimal. In case you aren't familiar with "Thrilling Thursday," let me explain; Thursday's are dollar days at the Goodwill.

If you aren't familiar with the thrifting process on Thursdays, the Goodwill offers everything of a certain label for only $1. Yes-- I know! It's … Continue reading Thrilling Thursday
For today's “Thrilling Thursday,” I found a lot, but not really decor. First of all, I didn't thrift the previous two Thursdays because my son was hospitalized one week, he's better now, and last week my daughter was promoted from middle school. This week, however, I found more clothes and books than anything else—insert tear … Continue reading Thrilling Thursday
For today's "Thrilling Thursday" I only purchased a couple of things, although, to be honest, I had to restrain myself from purchasing a lot more--the restraint jacket was pretty strong today (insert clapping and cheering here); I kept to it. Although there were several tempting items, I also don't want to clutter my house with … Continue reading Thrilling Thursday
I've decided that I want to begin a series called "Thrilling Thursday" because Goodwill, depending on the tag, today was white tag day, will sell things for a whole $1. Eek. It gets my heart pumping--insert M.J.'s thriller song. Can you believe it, $1? There are times I will fall in love with something above a … Continue reading Thrilling Thursday
Friday evenings are family game and movie night for us. My kids look forward to it all week and I get to play with my three babies while being silly and listening to music. Honestly, I have to bribe the 13 year old with junk food, but, at least, I get her to occasionally join. … Continue reading Friday Family Game & Movie Night
