Someone call 2019 and tell them we need it back!  But really, this year has flown by. So many changes, successes, failures and lessons learned along the way but I wouldn’t trade them for the world.  As we enter the final stretch, goal setting and sticking to the plans are even more important than before.

You’ve probably learned that I am the “Carry-On Queen” when it comes to flying.  Even when flying Southwest where I get free bags, I would rather have my stuff with me.  I have a fear of lost luggage and your girl will not look cute wearing the same thing away from home multiple days in a row. 

Earlier this week I shared how simplicity, my 2019 Word of the Year, had been a struggle in some areas. I’ve allowed myself grace in that what sounded great on paper at the beginning of the year, in theory wouldn’t always work.  I’ve made some edits to my action steps in order to better achieve my simplicity goal for the year.

Remember way back in January when I told you this year instead of a resolution I was choosing a word to live by?  Yeah, I know it seems like forever ago. I challenged you to pick a word too. Did you? Do you remember it? Did you stick to it? I chose “Simplified” as my word of 2019 and at times life has been nothing close to that.

I love shopping local!  There is just something about personalized service, a friendly smile and being greeted by name that gives me the warm fuzzies.  This week, I’ve teamed up with one of my favorite local boutiques, Rebecca’s of Clinton, to share some summer fashion inspiration. Regardless of age, style or shape, Rebecca’s has something that will fit your lifestyle and budget.  Here are a few selections that I think you’ll love!
