Vacation Shoes For The Whole Family!!
Summer means adventures, whether it’s a family trip to the beach, backyard BBQs with friends, or summer camp on the lake. Make sure the whole family has summer vacation shoes to keep up. Here are a few of our favorite styles for the whole family from DSW. Roxy Lola Flip Flop If last year’s flip flops look a little worn, consider trading them in for this classic update. The faux leather makes these sandals look less casual than others, but you won’t need to worry about the fabric being near water – perfect for days at the beach.

Let’s Get This Party Started!
I may not have been overly excited about moving (it’s SO MUCH WORK!!) But, I have to admit that decorating our new house is SO MUCH FUN!! PARTY time! I am truly having a blast! I have an entire house; an entire blank canvas to decorate. I am bringing together items from our old house in California and mixing in new items. I’m mixing antiques and modern.

I love mixing the antiques that were handed down from my Grandparents to sleek new things.…

The Advantage of Age!
Getting older has it’s advantages and of course it’s disadvantages as well. The advantage of age far out weigh the disadvantages. I mean, hello the alternative is well….. I’d like to hold off please. I find that I’m starting to care less and less what other people think of me. Really, my husband loves me. My kids love me. Alice adores me (she really belongs first on the list, I mean hello…… she is the cutest Grandkid a NaNa could ever have!!). You guys are here for me with friendship and support. Everyone else?
