Today would have been my dad’s 79th birthday. Well, shall I say it is his 79th birthday. And even though I am in Paris I am still going to celebrate it! I miss him everyday and he is constantly in my thoughts. I am sure he would want me to enjoy the day! But I still had to recognize his legacy and his contribution to this world. Continue reading
This is a first! I’ve done “What’s in your handbag” and “What’s your beauty routine” Snapchat tags. But I’ve never done a blogger tag. This one is called “Blue Sky-11 questions”.

So I just want to wish each and every one of you who is a mom, grandma, great grandma, stepmom, adoptive mom, godmom or somehow a maternal influence on a human being, a happy and blessed day!

I’ve had an ongoing war with storage for the last decade. Though the battle isn’t over yet, I feel like I have the upper hand. I actually never thought that I would ever even have storage. I was completely against it and felt it was a waste of money. But circumstances be what they may, I got sucked into the vortex. I actually don’t want to total up all the money I’ve spent to have my belongings stored in a 5×10 unit that is kept safe by a simple padlock. I’d likely have a heart attack! Continue reading
