Cloudy Day Blues??

Gals. I should be reading a book on this cloudy day, but instead, I’m watching the Paris Hilton documentary which is actually pretty fascinating. She’s not who we all think she is….who knew? I’m also shopping online, obvi, and finding all sorts of fun things. I actually got on the Cynthia Rowley website because a […]

Whimsey Rose……you MUST see….

Gals. I absolutely LOVE supporting friends or really ANYONE who has a “small” business. Don’t you? So, Whimsey Rose was started by our Harbor Springs friends, Joe and Susan Werner. These guys are from St. Louis and they started this business by making really cool t-shirts in TONS of fun prints. Today, Whimsey Rose has […]

Another MUST-SEE!! Tune in ;)

Gals. Ok, the video is long….I know…I know…. I wanted you to be able to see and hear about these AMAZING bracelets and necklaces by Hyde forty-seven. I met ADORABLE Ann Johnston in Harbor Springs and she introduced me to her jewelry which is the best “invention” I’ve ever seen. Growing up in Colorado (now […]

What are you wearing?

Gals. I’ve really been MIA lately. We’re sending off THREE to college and one to boarding school after a nice long time in Harbor Springs. I was in vacation mode and now I’m in mom mode…..fast and furious. Anyhoo, when it comes to my wardrobe, I’m still wearing the same ole, same ole at the […]

“A Night in Nashville”…….and more!

Gals. We are going to a Nashville-themed party this weekend. Since it’s before Labor Day, I’m thinking of wearing WHITE because I LOVE white! In fact, I do NOT listen to that rule about now wearing white after Labor Day. I wear white jeans all year long…with boots 🙂 Anyhoo, I’m inspired by the board […]

“You’re Gonna Make it After All”…….

Gals. Are you a Mary or a Rhoda? Somedays, I’m Mary….and some days, I’m Rhoda. Depends on the mood, right? Anyhow, a few months ago, my brother, Johnnie-o said, “You should do a post on Mary Tyler Moore. She was so cute.” She WAS so cute but particularly adorable in her show, “The Mary Tyler […]

Sunday Shopping?

Gals. I’m in Dallas today! There is SUCH amazing shopping here…wowzer. I gotta say, if I lived here, I’d be….well….broke – HA! Anyhoo, I’ve been poking around seeing what I need/want for Fall. Check out the picks! Trust the Mother….you’ll be glad you did!xoxo I don’t know what else to tell you except these are […]

Go ahead…..CLOG up the closet….

Gals. You’ve seen me wearing clogs a TON. I happen to LOVE them. I got my first pair when I was about 10. They were navy leather that I thought were so cool. I was trying to copy my older sisters who wore navy suede clogs…..THEY were so cool. As soon as my little foot […]

Here’s an Eye-Opener for you from Beautycounter!

Gals. I started using a lash lengthening serum a few months ago and I’m DYING because my lashes are so long, they almost look fake ;). Here it is: Lash Serum. Long lashes for SURE help open up the eyes, but with heavy lids like mine, I really need a routine with my make-up too. […]

Marion Parke Mitchell Mary Janes, Leopard Pumps and Chelsea Bootie

Gals. Hi! Coming to you from Boston, MA. What a fun city – glad to be back. Anyhoo, talking today about my foot issues – ha! I’ve told you all before, I have HIGH arches, HIGH insteps and weirdly skinny heels that make it hard to keep shoes on my feet. It was really timely […]
