Some fall fashion (in my 50's) -- Which makes me simultaneously so excited (I love clothes!) and super uncomfortable. Read on... Funny story: Many years ago, I was a new blogger trying to find my voice and my niche. I shared pictures of my kids, some recipes, and occasional lifestyle (including fashion) posts. I followed a lot of other bloggers who I learned from and admired. The only thing is, most of the women I followed were a good 10-15 years younger than me.

Easy Vegan Passionfruit Mousse
A recipe for an easy Vegan Passionfruit (Lilikoi) Mousse. Remember the Covid lockdown days? (Is it ok to say that yet?) I think a lot of people did interesting and out-of-their-ordinary things that year. Started new hobbies. Read extra books. Learned a foreign language or how to play a musical instrument... Will you look back on 2020 as the year you did something new? Well, I grew out my bangs. That's about it. 🤷♀️ (Otherwise my

3 Steps to Getting the Most out of (what's left of) summer! Hey Friends! As you might have noticed, *😉 😬* I have not exactly been on my blogging game for some time now.

I personally love to read short articles that spark an idea, offer some guidance, or make me feel a little less alone in some area of life. I also truly enjoy writing short, encouraging posts.
