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...

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...

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...
