There’s something naturally glorious about the color yellow, and it makes us feel… HAPPY! It’s warm, bright and welcoming, and reminds us of summer- what’s not to love? On a beautiful day like today, when the sun is a-shining and it’s warm and balmy out, I’m deeply...

On this sunny spring morning, I decided to take a couple of hours out and do something I very rarely make time for- perusing my local little boutiques. I don’t know why I usually go on autopilot and hit the big mall, when I could support the little guy and find far...

Our furry baby, Ginger Lily, is celebrating her birthday today- she’s 2 years old. She doesn’t realize this, but then again she doesn’t realize much...ever. Lily’s not the smartest pup on the block, she’s full of wrinkles, snores like a freight train, displays zero...

We are all familiar with the old adage “don’t judge a book by its cover”, but this Fabulous Friday we’re going to do just that! Obviously, as an author, I LOVE books! They take me on fantastic adventures, pull me onto emotional roller coasters, increase my knowledge,...

My new best friend arrived in the mail last week. I call her Shirley ‘coz she makes me curly... I thought it was about time I ditched the 18-year old curling iron of yesteryear and invest in a current, clip-less “wand”. The fact I had a discount voucher swayed me to...

Dydd Gw?l Dewi Sant hapus ! THIS IS NOT A TYPO- it’s Welsh! Today is March 1- Saint David’s Day! Who? You may ask, unless you happen to be Welsh… Saint David’s Day is a pretty special occasion in Wales, and seeing as how I lived there for some 13 years, my daughter...
