Winter to Spring Wardrobe with the Ageless Style Link Up
Since I touched on this subject of transitioning your closet from winter to spring wardrobe in this Spring dress 3 ways post and with Ada in my Color denim post, I decided to not focus on one way to make your wardrobe work but share my favorite 3 ways I wear outfits when the weather is all over the place. Living outside of Atlanta, GA, we do get some cold and wet days at the end of winter but also some days with very mild temperatures. Some days, layers are needed while on other days, a light scarf might feel like to much. So the month of March is typically…

Inspired by Jodie from Jodie Touch of Style
I have been wanting to copy one of Jodie’s looks for quite a while as she is my style icon! Jodie (from JTouchofStyle) is my favorite fashion blogger out there! She always challenges me to try new combinations, to thrift and shop my closet and to have fun with color. She always answers my questions and has been a help in my blogging journey. I love how real she is and her blog is really a great place to find inspiration as she, her mom as well as her friend Lesley show how you can interpret a theme in your own personal way. Today’s look was inspired by one of…

10 on the 10th (or 12th for me) Spring Edition
I read Carrie’s post (A Simple Lovely Life) mentioning Leslie’s (Once Upon a Time and Happily Everafter) 10th on the 10th post for Spring. I decided to join in a little belatedly so here I am! Ten Things I Like About Spring My first one has to be dinner on the porch! As spring approaches, and before then since are weather has been pleasant and mild in the evenings, I love to take out dinner on the porch! Open windows! Fresh air in the house is so pleasant. I really would like to add a screen door to our side porch as we tend to leave that door open…

Sycamore Shoals State Historic Park, Tennessee
I always try to take advantage of a road trip to visit a historic location. We have loved visiting forts on the coast and when I looked up the town where we were headed for a wedding, I looked up points of interest in the area. I came across Fort Watauga at the Sycamore Shoals State Historic Area. The visitor center hosts a gift shop, a museum and the fort is built by the Watauga River. It is a reconstruction of the original one. There is a one mile loop trail that follows the river as well as an arboretum, a butterfly garden and an amphitheater where they would usually…

March Sunday Showcase: Color Denim Jackets
There are several ways to transition your wardrobe from winter to spring and these ways might be different depending upon where you live. The past few weeks in Georgia have been very mild with an occasional cooler day. Today, for our March Sunday Showcase with Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood, I am sharing an idea that is not new by any means: adding a denim jacket to transition your outfits and give them a taste of spring. Both of the dresses I am sharing were hand me downs and both have long sleeves so I really would wear these outfits on a cooler winter/spring day. I chose non traditional denim…

2nd Blog Anniversary!
When I came up with the idea of blogging a couple years ago on the way down to my uncle’s lakehouse, I didn’t realize that it would be such a fun journey where I would meet ladies from all around the world and how much I would enjoy the experience. I hope I have improved and grown as a blogger (looking back at a few of my first post gave me some chuckles) and I hope to take advantage of the tips you ladies share with me. I am going to do better with focusing on the budgeting side of things (budgeting for trips, for groceries and clothes) as I…

Spring is in the Air: Our First Hike of 2021
As soon as the weather gave us a taste of spring, I corraled the kids and we headed to our nearby state park for our first hike of the year. I was very nice and chose a short 1 mile hike that I knew would be an easy one for everyone and a way to ease in back into walking outdoors again. Thankfully everyone enjoyed the hike! We gave our 6 and 10 year old some old cell phones to take pictures and they thought that was really fun and spent a lot of time finding things to take pictures of. I love how when we hike, we always see…

Spring Dress 3 Ways
I has been a minute since I posted a 3 ways to wear something (last time being this black dress) and I am following it with another dress, this time a print dress. I saw this dress on someone’s Instagram story I think and chose it in a polka dot pattern in blue. There are many colors to chose from and right now it is on sale for $25.99 which I think is what I paid.I really have been trying to find dresses that are versatile and can work for church and for play and that means I have to watch the neckline and skirt length. The ruffles are fun…

Seafood Medley Recipe
It has been a while since I shared a recipe. Last week as I was preparing dinner, I realized that this would be a fun budget friendly one to share if you like seafood. I often make this on a weekday when we are not eating meat and I do not want to spend a lot of money. The ingredients can be exchanged for whatever you have on hand and it is a nice way to use up different vegetables in your fridge. And if you do not like seafood, you can switch it for sausage of any kind! Ingredients rice leftover veggies: I usually use onion, peppers, garlic mushrooms.…

Tennessee Aquarium: February Visit
After our last visit to the Tenneesee Aquarium during the Christmas break, I told the boys we would take their cousin on our next visit and try to visit a few more times before our membership expires at the end of May. We just made good on that promise this past President’s day. Chattanooga is just 1 hour and 30 or so from our house so it is not a bad drive. This time around, the return trips wasn’t as fun. It rained consistently and heavily for about 45 minutes and I was also dropping my nephew home which added an hour and half total to our ride. It still…
