“I Saw Flowers in Your Hair…”

It’s been quite an interesting few days weather/climate-wise here in New England this week. On Saturday, I awoke to the aftermath of an overnight snow and ice storm that left enough sleet and sludge on the road that the plows had to be taken out of storage to clear the streets before anyone could safely […]

Daffodil Days…

Although I’m recovering from a Springtime cold/sinus issue this week (typical for me in the Springtime!) this past weekend I was feeling fantastic, the weather was lovely, and I decided to take the “wake up and smell the roses” expression quite literally- although I replaced “roses” with “daffodils”, instead.

OOTD: Date Night Florals

I had mentioned earlier this week that my Valentine’s Day plans involved cooking a fancy dinner for Troy while he’s in town. Earlier this week after finishing work early, I got started on shopping for and gathering the ingredients I needed for what I had planned while simultaneously trying to not ruin the surprise with […]
