Cool as the other side of your pillow 😎❄️ Just a handful of outfits from April so far. And yes, it’s the middle of April already. 😳 How’s your 2024 going?

Just a reminder that you have some great options in that closet of yours! So don’t be afraid to mix and match with pops of color and accessories! @susie.wright says “A great outfit starts with the pants” and today I wanted to wear these bright fiery orange ones from @express 👖 Next up I wanted more of a classic look so I opted for a crisp button up and added some gold bling. Hope you get inspired by my love of fashion and tag me in some selfies!!!! I would love to see what you create! 🥳 #momlife #workwearstyle #styleover40 #styleinspo #fashionstyle #shopmycloset #wilmington #wilmingtonnc
Remember when Instagram was filled with beautiful photos? Still shots of gorgeous landscapes, candid family moments, artistically styled outfits? Now it’s reels watching people drink coffee or wine with captions in the frame to music; influencers shoving an over abundance of bags and packages in our faces; perfectly coiffed people who share “deals” that we JUST HAVE to HAVE. Maybe I’m just bitter or not very creative but I’m so sick of what’s coming up in my feed. I want to see beauty but in the everyday. I want to see gorgeous outfits but from a thrift store or a yard sale. I want to read about people starting over for the tenth time and succeeding. I want to feel inspired when I come to this community. So tell me- what inspires you? Who inspires you? What accounts are encouraging and authentic? I will share some of mine in stories! Until then, I’m sharing my outfit today because I love it and it makes me happy. 😊 😘
Today was my first time to @airliegardens and I think I may have finally fallen in love with #wilmingtonnc … the town I have lived in for 8 months. The move here was not one I wanted. Bryan got the job offer here and I was basically told “You’re going”. 🙄 Gotta love divorce. And after securing a job and a house, we moved here in August 2023. Since then, I have met my best friend (@amylynnlifestyle AKA my soulmate, non-Lesbian wife, my kids third mother, and my neighbor) and dated some lovely guys, explored the town, enjoyed being so close to the beach…. But I was holding this place at arms length. Truth be told, I don’t love North Carolina. My parents moved me up here when I was 14 from Florida and it was almost like PTSD from the change. I kept leaving and coming back- like a boomerang. Some good things happened- I met the father of my beautiful children, made some amazing friends, and still have my mom and sister close by… but the move this last year was by far the most difficult. Today, as I walked hand in hand with my children on a gorgeous spring day, we took in the blooms and the scents, the breeze and the turtles basking in the sun and I told them “God made all of this for us to enjoy; doesn’t he love us so much?!” And they agreed. ☀️ So, yeah, I love you, Wilmington. Please don’t break my heart. 🙏🏼 #coastalcarolina #wilmingtonnc #airliegardens #firstvisit #springinwilmington #springhassprung #azalea #azaleafestival #singlemoms #singlemomlife #divorcedafter40 #findingmeagain
Strangers The second person I knew in my new city of Charlotte, North Carolina, asked me to go out to one of her favorite bars in the neighborhood of NoDa in July of 2012. I went, dressed in a Target tank top, a denim mini skirt and my hair up on top of my head. I don't even know if I wore makeup....
My baby boy…. you are 8️⃣. And you are everything good and right and wholesome and tender and sensitive and intelligent in the world of not-so-good. I love how you ask questions about everything- I love how much you love your sisters- I love how kind you are to animals- I love watching you play your video games. I love hearing you explain astronomy and geology and marine life. I love hearing you call me “Mommy”. I love your hugs and kisses (even though you don’t do public kisses to me any more 🫣)! You are such a beautiful soul and I am so honored that God chose me to be your mama. Love you to infinity and beyond 💙
I got a text message from a friend this morning that triggered an emotion of mine that has been felt more this past year than ever before. It is the emotion that was first felt the morning that my father came home from work early to inform my mother, my sister, and me that he no longer wanted to be a husband or a father anymore....
A few weeks ago I showed up at my ex husband's house with his live in girlfriend and her daughter and my two children wearing matching pajamas to celebrate Christmas morning. The night before I had two glasses of wine and two margaritas and childishly called my ex-husband pudgy to his face, so I knew I needed to own up to adulthood and be somewhat respectable on the day Christ was born (or at least some say.)...
I think I did it again. I met a guy and I really like him. DAMMIT. And now comes the flood of insecurities, errors in judgement, anxious attachment, self-doubt, self-loathing, emotional roller coaster rides, and the flurry of text threads with different girlfriends analyzing every text and phone call with said guy. All because we had one good date that lasted approximately 90 minutes of my life....
The OG. The original Bumble Boy. The first boy I ever swiped RIGHT on. The first boy to meet me out in public - at a bar. OH....what a night. First of all, I write this many months and many bumble dates after the original BUMBLE BOY. I am actually writing this out of pure frustration with a man I had been seeing the last few weeks from Bumble and who I have written off along with all the other men who die a text death and find themselves in the graveyard of other ghosts....
This sounds terrible but the last few years I was married, I used to dream of being single. Alone. Not having to answer to a man. Not having to worry about checking in with someone to tell them when I was up, out and about, or home. Coming and going as I pleased, free as a bird. I dreamed of going out to bars and clubs and finding sexy strangers in dark corners to dance with and after a few drinks, kiss passionately…....
Tonight the kids and I put up our 2023 Christmas tree. ....I didn't grow up celebrating Christmas. In fact, the first Christmas I ever celebrated was with Bryan in 2012. My first and "our" first Christmas. I bought a darling Snowman ornament with "Our First Christmas" from Hallmark with a Snowman Couple snuggling and can remember putting it on our first tree together....
