Hi there my over fifty blogging friends.
It's the last Monday of the month which means the latest installment from the ladies of
Style not Age - this month we turned to Hilda for the prompt - March Madness, and it certainly turned some of us mad! Scratching my head trying to think of an idea. After a couple of messages with the other ladies & the help of my daughter things came together, scroll down to see my choice.
How can we nearly be at the end of March?
Already May is high on the horizon, that's when my second eldest gets married and moves out! Actually I'm dreading it. Fortunately I've been a 'stay at home mum' and have always been around the children (sorry they're adults in their 20's & 30's) loving the fact I could/can always be there for them. When my eldest got married and moved out I had two years to get used to the idea. My son moved out (with no prior planning - yes that's boys for you) two years ago, and I have to admit I'm still coming to terms with that! But the fact he's giving me a grandson makes it somewhat easier - another darling to spoil. 💙 Consoling myself that I still have three children at home to 'care for' (stay with me - I know they don't NEED me). Well that's changed since my daughter's engagement last year when we went skiing. I told myself I had just over a year to get used to the idea. It still scares the hell out of me! But I've given myself a good talking to & here's my advice.
- I've been lucky enough to have her around for more years than her sister.
- I want her to have that special time, the times when you can do what you want in your own home - have parties, leave your stuff all over the place, clean and clear and have it staying that way. Not having your clothes 'borrowed' and not put back!
- She's literally moving 5 minutes away, so I'll hopefully see her everyday having quality time not quantity.
So back to blogging and the latest Style not Age challenge - here's my choice, let me know what you think.
I've gone down the route of stepping out of my comfort zone and worn pieces that I'd happily wear but wouldn't necessarily put together.
