POST OF THE WEEK

Wednesday ~

NATURE

LiL Turtle

This little guy bout scared me half to death when I saw something move in our pool skimmer as I was emptying it. The ironic thing is I had talked to a lady on my walk that morning who also has a pool and found one at her pool skimmer. I guess all the baby turtles want to go for a pool swim.

Big Turtle

And look at this big snapper! Don’t want to get too close because I heard you need pliers to pull it off if it clamps onto your leg, LOL! Yikes but he is super cool and I’m guessing probably over 100 years old, LOL! Probably not but snapping turtles do live a very long time!

Begonia

I have never had one of these dragon wing begonias before but it is already almost double the size as when I got it. It is in part shade part sun and it seems to be the perfect mix. These are really cool.

MEMES

E-Mail Subscription

One last thing, as many of you with the Blogger format may know, the email subscription you subscribe to to get my latest blog posts, Feedburner, is going away at the end of the month. I get so frustrated with all the services that Google is doing away with that make our lives as bloggers and Internet users so much easier. Anyway, my new service is follow.it so that is who you will be receiving emails from saying that I have a new post. You may have to confirm the first one. If your already subscribing, hopefully your email was imported over and you'll get them. It’s all so confusing so fingers and toes crossed that it works. This has been one of those technological UGHS!! LOL.

Have a great

weekend my Loves!!

WORTH THE WAIT DRESS

I have been wanting to wear this Dress for awhile but it never transpired. Until a recent vacation to Lake Michigan. Why not wear it out for a little Mexican food right?

It was worth the wait because I got to pair my new Anchor Beads necklace and bracelets with it and it paired perfectly with the jean jacket and fedora showing me how versatile it is heading right into Fall.

I just love the cut outs. They are flattering and a little spicy (how I like my Mexican food lol) without being over the top or too revealing.

The power of any black dress from casual to dressy is to be admired and I’m always happy to add another to my closet. BB Dakota clothing is so nice and this dress, from the Jack line, is just pure fun. AND NOW THIS DRESS IN ON MAJOR SALE!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES....GET IT IN GEAR

January is swinging right along and we finally got a little bit of snow this week! That weatherman was so so off as he was predicting a much harsher winter and so far, I consider most of it being more like late Fall! I know I’m crazy but I love a harsh snowy winter! I want to wear the Teddy Coat I showed you on Wednesday more too. Hope you have had a great week. I am kind of finding it hard to come up with Friday Favorites now that the holidays are done, the holidays always bring a bevy a favorite ideas. I’ve been decluttering and purging most of the week and working out a lot. Tomorrow we’re buzzing down for a day trip to Purdue to have lunch with our next birthday boy! I hope this January weekend is as sweet as can be for you!

1. Family Dinner
I know I shared some of these pictures on Instagram but I just had to share our last little family dinner before the two oldest headed back to college last weekend. Missing our youngest here but Ruth Chris never disappoints and it’s the only time a year I ever eat a steak and that filet was so worth it!

We get lots of sides but the shoestring fries are always a must and the Pomegranate Martinis were sensational!

2. Daisy
I’ve neglected to share much lately about our other family member, our precious Daisy Mae. She turns 14 years old this month. Boy was this girl happy we got some snow this week. I took this picture on yesterday after she came in. She literally has snow all over her. She just loves rolling around in it. When the boys were little I would make them hot chocolate after they came in but Daisy just got a special treat instead.

3. Week's Attire

4. Black Swiss Dot Dress

Nothing like a sweet little black DRESS and boy did I get a deal on this one at the Loft when they have their 50% off! It was only $35. I love Swiss dots and you may not be able to tell in this picture but matte dots are so stinking cute as are the little flutter ruffle sleeves. As you can see, I wore it for last Friday's dinner.

5. Misc. Fun

Anthropologie Candle
While I love B&B candles, Anthropologie ones are some of my favorites. My sweet sister-in-law, Beth got me one of my favorites for Christmas which is the Whipped Cream & Pear!. It smells so good when you walk in that store or our house, lol! The Jars are so pretty too. Did you know these are named after French Desserts?

Mini Tobacco Basket

Just love this little tobacco basket ornament that my sweet friend LISA got me. I transitioned it from a Christmas basket as seen in the bottom picture to an everyday sweet little tobacco basket that I made a homemade spring wreath for and it is setting on my tiered tray. I’ll show you more in an upcoming post on how I decorated the tray for every day. I thought I may only use it at the holidays but it’s so much fun that I’m going to have to keep it out all year long.

My ornament originally says Noel but I failed to take a picture of it before I transitioned it. All I did was placed a piece of white card stock on top of it and added the wreath and ribbon.

Book Update....Verity
5/5 stars!
On Monday I talked about the things I recently got from Amazon and this book, Verity, was one of them. Well, I read it this week and let me tell ya, hold on tight, such a good read. Read it asap, best book I have read in a long time!

Feeling Ageless

And Finally, I put this on my Insta stories this week but I just love it because I know we are all trying to tackle the year as healthy as we can be and inside I still feel like a young girl and I hope you all do too!
