I began my blogging adventure a few months ago and had no idea it would expand into such an exciting project and part of my life. I blogged a few years ago and didn’t have the resources I needed to be successful. Earlier this year I decided to take it up again as a fun hobby. I have been graced to meet and interact with fellow bloggers from near and far. It’s funny how you become friends with people you have never met!
I was graced to encounter a very special photographer. Meet Alex Good.We met up for coffee early one Friday. If I wake up early for you, it means I like you. We bonded over bad photography (you know when people are so photo-shopped they look like an angel), traveling and how our husbands of 50 years just don’t get it.

You can find out more about Alex on her blog – www.alexbgood.com/home/blog
Look at these beautiful shots she took of me. Anyone who tells me I look like a blonde Beyonce instantly has my heart.

I snagged these Sam Edelman flats (by far the most comfortable flat brand) during the Nordstrom Anniversary sale and haven’t taken them off my feet since! They are tagged below.
