They may drive you crazy, but there is no one in the world who understands your childhood like your siblings. The experiences you shared with one another are inexplicable to outsiders. You can communicate worlds with just a glance. You can tell awful jokes that no one else gets. They know you deep down and WHY you are the way you are, what makes you tick. They can push your buttons like no one else, but they would steadfastly back you up in a fight with any “outsider”.

And you take it for granted. You think they will be with you always. You think there will be another birthday, another Christmas. Another chance to make new memories. Until there aren’t any more . . .

Seven years missing you and it feels like yesterday (and truthfully, missing most of the people who made Christmas so wonderful every year). The holidays will truly never be the same.

📚 May/June Reads

The long, lazy days of summer are my absolute fave time of year to pick up a book. I love to stay up late and just get lost in a good read.

1️⃣ Women of Good Fortune - Oceans 11 meets Crazy Rich Asians. Loved it, though I did expect the ending to be a LITTLE happier.

2️⃣ Just for the Summer - two singles with a dating curse meet each other and try to reverse the curse and find the love of their lives. This summer fling was heavy at times but I thought it was a perfect beach read.

3️⃣ Flores and Miss Paula - an examination of the mother-daughter relationship and the realization that the bridge between them was the husband/father who passed away. A bittersweet look at how love can be complicated because of generational differences, and yet love endures.

4️⃣ Five Bad Deeds - creepy suspense that keeps you guessing about each of characters and wondering who you can actually trust.

5️⃣ Frozen River - not a beach read due to the setting (frozen winter of Maine in 1789) but a captivating historical fiction about a midwife and her role in helping to solve a murder. I was really surprised how respected this woman was for her time and just how much she knew about all the private business of her neighbors. Highly recommend!

6️⃣ Kill for Me Kill for You - thrilled! Two strangers make a pact to exact revenge for each other on the men who destroyed their lives. But someone isn’t telling the whole truth. Couldn’t put it down!

7️⃣ Room on Rue Amelie - I love everything I’ve read from Kristin Harmel. This WWII historic fiction follows newlywed American Ruby as she follows her French husband into Paris in 1939, her Jewish neighbor Charlotte, and a downed RAF pilot through the tumult of the war and its aftermath. Heartbreaking and so, so good.

How lucky I am to have had a Dad love me so much AND be married to a man who loves his daughters more than anything.

To all the dads out there that have survived teenage daughters, I commend you 🤣 Wishing you all the amazing day you absolutely deserve.

👗 If you're worried about what types of clothing to wear to best accentuate your body's beautiful features, have no fear!

Over the next few posts in this series, you'll learn how to dress to create illusions for the best possible you.

CIRCLE BODY TRAITS: your middle body holds most of your weight (chest, upper arms, stomach, hips and bottom)

YOUR WARDROBE GOAL: lengthen your torso and create the illusion of a waistline

DO'S & DON'TS
· wear a great tummy shaper to minimize any bulge at the waist and an uplifting bra to create separation between your waistline and bra line
· a darker toned longer length cardigan can help elongate your torso and cut your middle horizontally in half
· wear a structured blazer or jacket that will help draw angular lines giving your upper body structure
· 3/4 sleeves are best for your tops to draw attention away from your upper arms
· heavier fabrics are best to help hide any trouble areas - any lycra or spandex in your clothing will mean that it may cling to your body
· bootcut bottoms will help lean out your body

When you book with me, I provide a detailed What to Wear magazine, as well as tons of blog posts that I've written PLUS a one-on-one phone or FaceTime consult to go over all of your wardrobe planning needs.

INVERTED TRIANGLE BODY TRAITS: your upper body (shoulders, chest and stomach) measure wider than your smaller lower body

YOUR WARDROBE GOAL: to minimize your upper body and accentuate your lower body to create balance for your body type

DO'S & DON'TS
· high waisted bottoms are great for this look because they help bring attention to your shapely hips
· keep your neckline soft: go for cowl necks, deep v-necks or even scoop necks
· stay away from spaghetti straps as they can draw attention to a larger upper body
· do use a high waisted belt to accentuate your waistline
· go for simple and darker toned tops, while experimenting with brightly colored or refined printed bottoms
· wear wide legged pants to balance out a wider upper body

TRIANGLE BODY TRAITS:
· your upper body (shoulders, chest & stomach) is more slender in comparison to your lower body (hips, thighs & bottom)

YOUR WARDROBE GOAL: to balance out your lower body by creating optical illusions on your upper body with appropriate clothing

DO'S & DON'TS
· keep your tops lighter in color than your bottoms - it will bring attention to your thinner upper frame
· wear blazers and jackets that stop at the hip
· brightly colored cardigans/tops will always draw attention away from your hips and up towards your face
· your pants should be boot or flare cut - it will help balance out your hips
· stay away from pencil skirts - they will only accentuate your lower body
· A-line cut skirts will help balance out your hips as well

Motherhood is a choice you make everyday, to put someone else’s happiness and well-being ahead of your own, to teach the hard lessons, to do the right thing even when you’re not sure what the right thing is ... and to forgive yourself, over and over again, for doing everything wrong. ⁠
—Donna Ball⁠
⁠
Motherhood has been the greatest joy of my life, and I am so blessed to have had such beautiful role models in my own mom and grandmother. ⁠
⁠
To them and all the moms (by blood or love) out there, I wish you a day of peace and love - Happy Mother’s Day!⁠
