If Sitting is the New Smoking…
Then I must be up to three packs a day. Since beginning my new job this past Spring, I have felt terribly restricted. The amount of time I spend sitting is outrageous. Driving to work. Sitting in my office. Meetings. Driving home from work…in traffic – delaying me in my…

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Fashion
I’ve always wanted to participate in a word-of-the-day or photo challenge on WordPress. While I think of an idea or even pull up a photo, a busy schedule usually sets me on another path and the challenge is over before I can post! Today, I’m joining in for Cee Cee’s…

🍺The Making of a Barrel🍺
This is the final post about our trip and this series ends with a must-visit-while-in-Dublin: The Guinness Storehouse. I never gave much thought to beer, the making of it and certainly never specific brands and how/when/where they were created. This tour was unexpectedly fascinating and the history of this company…

The Blairquhan Castle🏴
If I could capture the “feel” of this castle in words, I would. I’m neither talented enough, nor do I think I can convey the warmth and elegance of the interior. For such an enormous setting, those who refurbished this exceptional landmark provided a welcoming, warm, relaxing yet regal and…

A Wedding. In a Castle. In Scotland🏴.
Well, it was everything you could imagine a fairy tale wedding would include: stunning countryside, a Scottish castle that exceeded our already-high expectations, very moving vows and a bride that her Mama would have been proud of. If you didn’t read the introduction to this destination wedding/vacation with an important…

Vacation!
True friends are few and hard to find. My precious one of 20 years lost her cancer battle and went to be with Jesus three years ago. Her daughter has grown to be my bonus 4th child. There was deep, profound loss and heartbreak that we all endured but God…
