First, I have to confess I have an obsession with white sneakers. I think it started when I was little. Every summer we would get a new pair of Keds or K. Swiss and I was always so excited. I love the versatility and they are so great for spring, summer and even fall. For … Continue reading How to Keep Your White Sneakers Clean
At the beginning of the year I started doing "Capsule Wardrobe" posts for the season. When I decided to take a break I decided to hold off on the capsule posts for a bit-hopefully I will get one up for Fall when the time comes. So while I won't be sharing a Summer Capsule Wardrobe … Continue reading Warm Weather Staples
I have never been one to agree that "beauty is pain". Sure, I have spent my fair share of time wearing tall heels or tolerating a bit of discomfort in a pair of shoes, but I don't sacrifice my own comfort or dignity for a pair of shoes or new trendy item. The older I … Continue reading Choosing Comfort
Normally I hate summer. I really don't like to use the word "hate" but I mean absolutely despise the season, spending 3 months wishing for fall and saying I want to live somewhere else. In all fairness, Nebraska summers really aren't that fun. The weather often makes it difficult to enjoy time outside (and even … Continue reading Summer Highlights
It's no secret that fall has been on my mind since mid-July. I hate to admit that and I feel guilty that I started to look forward to fall so soon rather than just enjoy what is left of summer.

Fall is moving in. While the days remain warm, the mornings and evenings are significantly cooler, even a bit chilly compared to the normal constant summer heat. While our weekend at the lake was supposed to be mostly in the 90s I knew that mornings would be quite chilly so I came prepared with this … Continue reading Chilly Summer Morning
As I mentioned Andrew and I spent this past weekend at the lake, something we were both looking forward to. We were anxious for a weekend free of distraction, housework and errands and knew time at the lake would be a great way to enjoy these last few summer days. We got in just after … Continue reading Dinner on The Dock
Every week Andrew and I say we are going to visit the Farmer's Market on Sunday morning. The weekend arrives and we get caught up with work, housework and running errands and never make it. This past weekend we were determined to go and it seemed like the perfect day for it. We were both … Continue reading A Trip to the Farmer’s Market
I hate to admit it but I already have fall on my mind. It is the beginning of my favorite time of year which is pretty much Labor Day to Valentine's Day. I love the weather, the cozy clothes that accompany the cold and all of the holidays and festivities that take place.I know it … Continue reading Slowing Down: Summer Sweater
