Filed under Grandchildren, Grandparenting, Sharon
Hmmmmmm. I guess I’d be considered kinda “old” by a 5-year old little guy. After all, I’m 58… a whole 53 years older than he is. 58 years is alotta life and alotta years and alotta wear ‘n tear. But those years don’t mean anything in the face of a good challenge! All this talk [...]

The BUTTERCUP… its butter-yellow cup-shaped flower beckons kids of all ages as it brightens both meadows and marshes and even ball fields!

Banana Republic has always been one of my favorite places to shop for clothes, shoes and accessories. I don’t know if you remember these “Banana” tees, but when I was in 3rd grade, the hottest tee a girl in my class could have was a Banana Republic logo tee with an animal on the back. [...]

Filed under Mom Fashion Report
I’m always asked by moms to recommend places to find/buy beautiful jewelry, but not at jaw-dropping prices. In my opinion, jewelry makes an outfit. It never ceases to amaze me how a gorgeous pair of earrings can set-off an outfit. I love it! Well, I have a new love in town (no pun intended) that [...]

Filed under MAY FLOWERS, Sharon
The AZALEA… the hardy plant with gloriously colorful and profuse blossoms, its name derived from the Greek azaleos, meaning dry. The Azalea both flourishes in dry soil and is known for its dry, brittle wood. Makes sense! The Azalea is a member of the Rhododendron family and is used as an ornamental shrub in gardens [...]
