My enthusiasm for Civil War history made Richmond, VA a frequent place of adventure for me and my dad. Yet, Richmond boasts Revolutionary War history as well! One weekend, we stumbled upon this sign at The Poe Museum. (more…)

Surprise! Lizzy’s Latest is featuring a lower-heeled boot on the blog. This post is for all of you who love heels, but just can’t wear them. The Jagger boot merges chic style with all day comfort. My only gripe is that they are a bit heavy. I tend to prefer lighter weight boots, but they are cozy for colder temperatures. (more…)
HAPPY NEW YEAR to my family, friends, followers, and visitors! As usual, I’m fashionably late with posting. Sigh! I hope y’all had a great holiday! Christmas here was a little smaller because my brother, Michael, and his family were not able to make it up from NC this year. So, my annual Christmas pic with the kiddies was replaced with a snap of me with the rest of my family. (more…)
I’m slowly acclimating back to blogging after so much time off. It’s all coming back to me now. 😉 In my previous post, I mentioned I wasn’t sure if I would do a review of these heels because I’d like to move on to fall shoes. In the end, I decided to write a review post because I had more pics in this shoot to share. So, why not? (more…)
SURPRISE! Lizzy’s Latest is back! 😊 I guess by now, y’all are used to my inconsistent postings. I apologize for that. 2022 has been a very unusual year for me and my family. Two health crises, both unexpected, one resolved (thank God) and the other still uncertain, have dominated my family’s life this year. We’ve acclimated to our new normal, but it can still be scary at times. Yet, our faith is strong. And with faith, comes so much hope. (more…)
Happy Easter, my lovelies!

Maryland is such a beautiful state! To this day, we continue to discover amazing treasures such as the War Correspondents Memorial Arch at Gathland State Park in Western Maryland. I was so excited to have a fall photo shoot here because of the gorgeous backdrop. Part of the Appalachian Trail cuts through here and the area is steeped in Civil War history that I was not aware of until we found this hidden gem. I’m hoping to write more about its Civil War past in future blog posts. (more…)
First Corinthians, 13-13: So faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
George E. Dixon was a handsome and wealthy young man working in Mobile, AL by the start of the Civil War in 1861. One day, a Southern bell named, Queenie Bennett, caught his eye. Dixon made his affections known to her and when Queenie drew her handkerchief across her lips and looked at him with desire, Dixon knew she was smitten with him too. The warmth of young love filled their hearts and the two began a courtship that would become the stuff of legends. (more…)
HAPPY NEW YEAR to my family, friends, followers, and visitors! I’m 30 days late with this post, but better late than never, right?! 😉 My regulars are used to my consistent inconsistent posting schedule. However, I did commit to at least one post a month, so here we go! 😊 (more…)
