Lizzy’s Latest – Burnside Bridge at Antietam Battlefield – Merry Christmas 2021

MERRY CHRISTMAS to my family, friends, followers, and visitors!  I can’t believe how fast December flew.  It felt like just yesterday I was writing out Christmas cards.  Now, I will enjoy “Midnight” Mass at 8PM this evening with my parents.  Then after, I will be up late wrapping presents and baking my famous chocolate chip cookies. 

My sister, Jeanette, and my brother, Michael, and his family will arrive tomorrow afternoon just in time for Dad’s legendary turkey feast and chocolate pudding pie – mont blanc, anyone?  😉  I can’t wait!  It is such a joyous time of year for me and my family.

Yet, I also realize this time of year can be difficult and challenging for some.  People who are alone and/or estranged from family and/or friends.  I’ve had years like that in the past growing up and it’s not a good feeling.  Long before my deeper conversion to my Catholic faith (read about it here), I was spiritually lost.  I ignored the true meaning of Christmas and blamed God for whatever suffering I was struggling with, never looking myself in the mirror for the true architect of my misery…me.  (more…)

Shoespiration – Franco Sarto Quinera Peep Toe Booties – Coltons Point, MD

I was like the little engine that could in October and then my little engine lost its steam in November.  Oopsie…sorry!  I guess y’all are getting used to my inconsistent posting these days.  I committed to post at least once a month, but I missed my November deadline. I was not happy about that, but such is life sometimes.  All I can say is that I will do better and I appreciate your continued support for my little shoe blog.  (more…)

Shoespiration – Calvin Klein Strappy Sandals

I’ve had quite the adventure these last several weeks.  With spring in full swing and the weather staying consistently nice, the shopping bug hit me!  I’ve been sooooooo good since Christmas and I gave up shopping for Lent.  So, I was seriously itching for some retail therapy after Easter.  I told myself I would remain disciplined, but then one pair of heels became two pairs of heels.  Then, three pairs of heels became four pairs of heels.  And after the fifth pair, I stopped counting.  Sigh…so much for discipline!  I confess, I’m a shoe addict!  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Inc Kenjay d’Orsay Pumps

Hello, my lovelies!  I can’t tell you how excited I am to feature the INC Kenjay pumps on the blog.  I’ve had the heels for some time now, but could not find the perfect outfit.  This look came together a bit organically.  I think I found the green coated jeans first and then the sweater, both from White House Black Market (on sale!).  I wasn’t sure about the sweater because it is so voluminous and my petite frame always seems to drown in “big” tops.  However, pics are always about the angles and Dad has become a bit of a pro at finding the right angles…or perhaps it’s me telling him to take more pics.  Haha…sorry, Dad!  We’ll just say it’s a combination of both.  😉  (more…)

Shoespiration – Jessica Simpson Nikaye Block Heel Sandals

I am sooooo late with this post!  With work and life so busy (as usual), I must confess, I’ve been procrastinating on the blog.  I’ve been wanting to enjoy weekends and road trips and so that’s what I did.  I’m certain like many of you, staying indoors for all those months was tough, even for me, a natural homebody.  Even homebodies have their limits!  😉  (more…)

Lizzy’s Latest – Lucky Brand Margaline Sandals

Lizzy’s Latest – My Favorite Girl

If you’ve been following my blog on a regular basis, you know about my Forever BFF, Tammy, and my East Coast BFF, Packy.  Well, there is one other girl who completes my trifecta of besties.  She was a girl I used to know who remains close to my heart.  She was my Eternal BFF, Shari.  The first time we met was serendipitous and from that moment on, we became the best of friends.  We got into so much mischief together (as kids do!), but always gave the appearance of being perfect angels.  😉  When we lost touch many years ago, I never forgot Shari, even searching for her over the years to no avail.  Her impact on my life was immense and I often reminisced about our adventures and prayed that she was healthy and happy.
