"Life is what you make it, always has been, always will be." ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I'm going to admit that this dress caught my eye because of my obsession with an Instagram profile!  As I was scrolling through Instagram one day, I caught a glimpse of the most gorgeous woman with her two little girls and I was hooked after that!  Hannah Strafford Taylor is often photographed wearing a beautiful long dress and plopped right in the middle of the most fabulous location I've ever seen.  Her pictures are truly swoon worthy!  When I saw this dress, of course, I had to have it because it reminded me of one that Hannah would wear!  While I'm sure I'm not going to grow another inch...I can still dream of living in London and traveling to places like Puglia, Italy!

The handcrafted earrings above were created by Allie Beads, a company owned by Stephanie Gardner and her daughter Allie.  The duo handcrafts unique jewelry that appeals to all ages.  These earrings definitely make a statement for summer!.

It's never too late to start to make this chapter of your life the very best chapter of your life!  While I certainly don't have all of the answers, I can share what I've learned on my journey up to now, so I created an e-book...my Midlife Comeback Plan!  It's free and you can download it by clicking here!

It's hard to believe Friday is already here again!  I'll spend the weekend packing for almost a month at Bald Head Island.  I'm so excited to spend time with family and relax on the beach with the sun on my face and a book in my hands!
