I hope that all is well in your world. After some cold and wicked thunderstorms this week, today's forecast is sunny and may reach the upper sixties. The Mister and I are crossing some errands off our list and rewarding ourselves with a nice lunch....

I hope that all is well in your world. As I mentioned on Friday, the Mister and I were called in on babysitter duty. I am happy to report that we passed with flying colors. We were so diligent that we neglected to take any pics.

I hope all is well in your world. The Mister and I spent a delightful day on Sunday with Lucy and her Mom and Dad. Adorable Jonathon asked the Mister to help him baby-proof the house.

I hope all is well in your world and you enjoyed your holiday. I come to you a few pounds heavier, but that's only because my heart is full. Or at least that's what I'm telling myself. We had a wonderful two weeks with equal parts of family time and relaxation....
Hello, I'm Katie

I'm Katie. Welcome to my blog. I am an empty nester meandering through my midlife years one page at a time. We sold our antique home on the South Shore of Massachusetts in October 2020 and relocated to the Dallas suburbs and our forever home.
I love to write about books, movies, TV, celebrities, shopping, decorating, Bravo, and weekend adventures. My favorite writing material, however, is derived from my family: the Mister, my girls, #1 and #2, my favorite son-in-law, and my new little mischief-maker, thoroughly darling Millie. I love hearing from my wonderful readers.
