An Old Fashioned Girl in a Modern World
As I sit recovering from the time change (actually, it isn't that bad, I just feel a bit bad for H), I am looking through pictures of our wonderful trip out west.

Last week we packed to go away for a trip to Colorado (that we are on right now!). Last year, I would have dreaded this. I hated packing.

This type of wardrobe happens to be one of my … [Read more...]
My big brother Dennis is guest posting today! Among many other things, he is a fabulous cook. I am sure he gets it from my mom who is also quite fantastic. We pretty much had a gourmet meal every single night for dinner growing up. I would say that we both lucked out big time. She is not a huge … [Read more...]

Yet, I prefer fall over summer. I like the chill...but with a jacket. When I received the opportunity to do a review for Free … [Read more...]
I have so many things that I want C (and even G and H) to know when they get older that I began writing a series of posts to make sure I get the chance. If you have missed the beginning part of this series, start here with: Things I Want My Daughter to Know: You Deserve the Best Dear C, A few … [Read more...]
