JULY 2025

A post-paddle board session selfie.

I feel like this photo captures my essence: hair unkept, no makeup, and a dress thrown on over my swimsuit while driving my little car down a desolate road.

A glowy peach sunset on my Daytona Beach vacation. I love the reflection that is caught in the mid-beach puddle.

On this day we taught five sticks and no fish. But according to Ev, the highlight was just playing with the worms.

Saint Augustine, Florida was gorgeous. My cousin and I did a quick trip from Dayton to check out the picturesque little city. I would for sure go back...and I've always had a thing for my guy Saint Augustine.

Ponce De Leon Inlet Sunset

Our tour of the 2nd tallest lighthouse in Florida was ten dollars well spent.

Red pairs well with golden brown.

Fourth of July (and the three weeks surrounding it) are lit in my hood.

I am forever a lover of a long walk.

My travel mates a gorgeous boardwalk.

I lived at the airport this month, and I foresee more of that for me this coming year.

We love a festive queen.

My Uncle Chris is the family grill master. And, here he is cooking with his only son. However, I do not foresee a passing of the torch anytime soon.

Highlight of my Daytona Beach vacation, seeing a sea turtle in the flesh!

Book Club antics.

My momma baiting the worm with a fresh manicure.

We met a celebrity at Yogi Bear Campground.

I devoured "Pillars of the Earth" while enjoying my neighborhood pool.

I love my bedroom.

Handsdown, the best Marg of my life.

Pink Party at the All-Inclusive. Best believe, I was standing right under that foam machine.

A Post-Pink Party selfie in Cabo!

The view from my stoop, where i do my evening reading and writing.

We read "Evelyn Hugo's 7 Husbands" for book club this past month. Therefore, we all dressed up in our best Hollywood glamour.

I found this dress at the thrift for seven dollars several years ago....I've been dying to wear it!

Sun-kissed in Daytona

The best view on our walk to the Fountain of Youth.

My gorgeous boy is 3 and headed to pre-school.

Our resort had 12 pools, This was my favorite one. Behind me was the view of the Arch.
