No matter how many years pass, this will remain one of the most memorable in our history.

There's nothing like waking up on a Monday morning feeling bright-eyed and fresh as a daisy. I'll be honest, it's rare. BUT, when it happens, there truly is nothing like it.

Enjoy a coastal inspired curation made up a few of my favorites from Bliss Home & Design. Oyster shell chandelier - Truly fresh design.

What a challenging week I just trekked through. We won't get too personal here, but then again, why not? We are all humans here, right? If you checked the "I am not a robot" box, then we're good to go. Husband left town for 6 days. An empty house sure does make you realize how much an extra body in the house can support a load at the end of a day without even saying words. Single Moms - you are saintly beings. The baby was on rare form. I found myself fact checking (yes, Googling) every possible reason that may be causing her to act like the neighbors kid. Turns out she's just "at that age." Well, "that age" ran me ragged and I even found myself questioning my motherly instincts - drama much
