Today’s post is more photo-driven as I let the pictures tell the story. Recently I used my Old Navy gift card to purchase some fall-related tops and other cooler weather outfits. You’ve seen my outfit of the day pics on social media and these new fits will not disappoint. First up are these cute HalloweenContinue reading “James the Outfit Slayer: New Fall Outfit Try-on”

Country music has its power couples. While some look at George Jones and Tammy Wynette as one of the originals, others look at Faith Hill and Tim McGraw as the most popular (I love their duets). For me, Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood rank up there as my favorite country music couple. Garth is #1Continue reading “Southern Reading and Cooking”

This Fall, I have some books that will be coming that I’m interested in reading. One is by a design expert from an award-winning Netflix series. Another is by a girl whom I discovered on Instagram who loves Fall and finds the joy in every season. Third is a lifestyle book written by a countryContinue reading “At Home with New Home Decor and Lifestyle Reads This Fall!”

Today’s blog post is about going with the flow, but before I get into it, here’s a definition on what it means.

In my current job and atContinue reading “Go With The (Work) Flow”

Back in the Fall of 2007, my mom and I were out shopping at Westmoreland Mall. This was back when they had bookstores still in the mall. We stopped at Borders (formerly Waldenbooks). This was back when I was just out of college and trying to figure out what to do with my life. IContinue reading “What’s Cooking w/ my new Betty Crocker Cookbook”

Anyway, when I was finally ready to spend the ones from Christmas, I used part of them on a book by Miranda Lambert. The book is part cookbook,Continue reading “Learning about Family from Miranda Lambert’s book”

For 13 years I traveled for my job as an inventory associate for WIS International. I worked out of the Pittsburgh Office (3609) so most of our trips were in Pennsylvania with a few occasional trips to West Virginia, Ohio, and Maryland. I got to see many places, and some very scenic. The countryside inContinue reading “Taking the Scenic Route”

Today I celebrated my birthday and had lunch…. In style. Originally we were going to eat lunch at the Olive Garden but Mom asked me if I wanted to trade up for a better dining experience. So I agreed and we went to EDO Hibachi Bar and Restaurant. The Japanese restaurant is located behind WestmorelandContinue reading “James the Food Slayer: Edo Hibachi Steak House & Bar”

Recently, I’ve gone on a country music kick. Pardon the pun, but isn’t my first rodeo. I’ve been listening off and on to country since I was 12 years old when my mother introduced me to Garth Brooks while we were in the car (our old 1988 Dodge minivan). It was his self-titled debut albumContinue reading “Gone Country and Slayin’ It”

Last night was our first Greensburg Toastmasters meeting of the new year. It was also my first meeting as President of the club. It’s not my first rodeo (12 years strong as a Toastmaster) and this is third time leading my home club. Overall, the first meeting of the new Toastmaster year was a smashingContinue reading “Greensburg Toastmasters… A Club of Champions”
