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 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 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…)
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…)
I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter! We certainly did. My beautiful niece, Kristin, had the honor of playing the Virgin Mary in her school’s Passion play this year. It’s not the first time she’s had that honor and we are all so proud of her. Unfortunately, I have no picture to share. Due to the pandemic, it was just an in class production (no audience). I’ve featured stories about Kristin on the blog throughout the years and you can find one of those stories here. (more…)
Lizzy’s Latest is FINALLY back with a new post! It’s been a whirlwind of a month for me! Work has been crazy busy and I’ve been enjoying weekends with good friends. On one weekend in particular, my BFF, Packy, and I went skiing. It was my first time skiing and OH MY, what an experience! I will definitely detail that adventure in a future blog post. 🙂 (more…)
There’s a back story to these beautiful heels. I had been eyeing them on the Boston Proper website for almost a year, but hesitated to purchase them because I’d never purchased Pelle Moda shoes. I didn’t know how they would feel on my feet and I didn’t want the hassle of returning them by mail. (more…)
When my Forever BFF, Tammy, and I were discussing possible destinations for our girls trip last year, she suggested New Orleans, LA. Although, I had visited the city several times over the years, Tammy had never been there. She had only heard good stories about it from her late friend, Carlos. (more…)
Oh my goodness! Where to begin? I apologize for my extended absence from the blog, but life got busy. I’ve been traveling too. I took my niece, Kristin, on our annual girl’s trip to Hersheypark in Hershey, PA. We had a great time and I will write more about this in a future blog post. (more…)
I recently returned from my annual girls trip with my Forever BFF, Tammy. Adventure led us to New Orleans, LA this year. It was a great time and I thoroughly enjoyed catching up with Tammy. I will share the details of this trip in a future blog post, of course. 😉
