5:00 Fridays is making a special appearance today. It is Halloween, after all, a time for some witch's brew. And I'm not talking java.

Booted Up – 5:00 Fridays TM
Fall is officially here. I don't use the calendar to determine the season. I don't look to the moons or Al Roker. I use foot wear. I transitioned from sandals to boots over the last few days. I have an affinity for knee socks so the natural pairing with boots makes me … [Read more...] about Booted Up – 5:00 Fridays TM

DNC High – 5:00 Fridays TM
I just got back from spending the week at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, NC. I have been in such an electrifying bubble that I am still high on all the brain power, girl power, education power, and mom power I cozied up to. Instead of a liquid cocktail this … [Read more...] about DNC High – 5:00 Fridays TM
