Valentine’s Day Gift Guide
On February 3, my husband Michael and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage. 30 years, two children, seven moves, two states, several jobs, and countless ups and downs. So, this Valentine's Day seems a little more special somehow. No marriage (or any relationship for...
Graceland: Where Elvis Never Leaves the Building
I worked for Mississippi Magazine for the better part of 23 years, yet I had never visited the adult home of Mississippi’s favorite son, Elvis Presley. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Elvis’s music, but I have never been a fevered fan. I guess I just never made it a...
It’s a Great Time to Find Bargains on Boots!
As you will know (if you don't already) I am a frugal shopper. Very rarely do I pay full price for something, especially when it comes to boots. Most of the styles are timeless, or at least stay in fashion for several seasons. So, I just don't see a reason not to buy...

Well I’ll BEE! I Love This Trend.
Well, I'll BEE! I Love This Trend! Have you heard the buzz? Bees are in fashion, and I apparently can't get enough. I bought these items without even realizing a pattern (or obsession maybe?) was developing. This trend may fly away soon, but I have been stung so I'll...

A Little Fun with Faux Fur
As I write this, it is 96 degrees. The cotton fields down the road from my house are bursting with the fluffy stuff, which usually means it's already somewhat cool outside. But this never-ending summer, it's just another steamy day. Still, how fun to look ahead to...
