Moving to a new city can be hard on a woman.  It’s pitiful that the first thing out of my mouth when I found out we were moving was, “Are you serious?  I have to leave my hair stylist!  Who will do my hair?”  Since I have a big mouth, I talk to everybody and instantly...

“Southern University, defenders of the gold and blue.  We will always loyal be and we will raise a cheer for you.  All for one and one for all, we’ve got the will to win for thee. So fight, fight, fight, fight, ’til we win the victory! Go Jags, go!”  This brings back...

The past few months have been one big adventure. The hubster and I welcomed Miss Nyla Rose on January 21, 2015 at 2:38 p.m.  She was 8 lbs. 9 oz. and 18 1/2 inches. We named our bundle of joy Nyla Rose because Nyla means “Champion” or “Winner” and Rose is her...

If you haven’t noticed, I am crazy about a good cupcake.  They’re cute and so delicious.  You can serve them at a baby shower, birthday party, or an elegant event.  When I was in Los Angeles, I told my husband that I had to try a good cupcake bakery.  We were told about Sprinkles,...

Only God knows how many white shirts I have.  Some are linen, cotton, barrel cuff, French cuff, dress, casual, etc.  You can never go wrong with a white shirt and you can never have too many. I saw this shirt at Zara in Atlanta and had to have it.  It’s so simple, yet versatile.  It can...

I am in my happy place right now — no worries and no cares. Sunglasses (Prada), necklace (Arden B.), cuff (H & M), watch (Michael Kors), blazer (Trina Turk), tee (Banana Republic), jeans (Zara), heels (GUESS) This casita reminds me of the day I married Matt.  You might recall this...
