This week Emerson was back to school as a fourth grader. She loves her teachers and so far I am loving what they’re teaching her and her classmates. I’m also loving being back into more of a routine.

When you read this I will be at my town’s Labor Day festival, working the book sale. If you follow my Instagram Stories you know about this event – my daughter’s school collects book donations from neighbors, sorts them into categories, sells them at the festival and all the money goes to the PTA.

The rest of the products from the line are just fine, it’s just an ingredient in this serum. So glad to know so I can move forward! Last year,… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #13
Last weekend I was in Rehoboth Beach and got a rash on my neck. I thought it was the hotel’s feather pillow and got a non-feather one but it didn’t go away. In fact, it got worse and today (Friday) It’s from my bust up to my chin, on my cheeks, around my ears, and… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #12
This post was finished on Thursday because Friday morning I headed to Rehoboth Beach, Delaware with my mom, sister, and daughter for our annual girls’ getaway weekend. While I’ll have my phone with me, it’s going to just be used as a camera. I’m ready for a bit of a technology break and the beach… Continue Reading Weekend Reads #11
