Thanks to help from a gal that knows first hand how expensive going to prom can be,  there is a chance for students currently enrolled in a school of the Northland that might not have a dress for the high school dance or prom can now show up with sparkling confidence.

Originally, I suggested battery operated socks to keep your tootsies toasty while enjoying all that the Lake Superior Ice Festival has to offer, but on Facebook Brad brought up the fact that a warm pair of boots might just do the trick and that got me thinking.

I got new shoes recently, and Cathy said that she could barely tell my feet were size 14.  To prove to her how big my shoes are, we did this video.

They call her the "dress fairy".  I call her the woman with utmost compassion and true love for helping others.  Her name is Mary and thanks to her dedication and giving up half her basement for storage, high school aged girls currently enrolled in a school of the Northland that might not have a dress for the high school dance or prom can now show up with sparkling confidence.

I had heard about the "dress fairy" before, but had no idea how much care, compassion and true love for helping others was involved.  Until, I met Mary Francis-Bennett.  Thanks to her dedication and giving up half her basement for storage, girls in the Northland that might not have a dress for the high school dance or prom can now show up with sparkling confidence.

Yesterday I went shopping for some dress shirts and ties at JCPenney.  Afterwards, my mom and I went to Best Buy in the Burning Tree Plaza to shop for a new Amazon Fire tablet.  Then it hit me.  The Amazon Fire tablet cost less than my necktie

You've heard of those mock turtlenecks called a"dickey"? Well, these are my boot dickeys! My friend Coleen crocheted these darling boot cuffs for me and I LOVE THEM!  They are the only ones I own and I hate to ask her to make me more since I know her time is precious.  I have no idea how to crochet but went on a search to find a video on how to do it.  I think I've got it!

This year the mosquito were ridiculous!  I know, I know, we had a late winter, more snow and that lead to a wet Spring.  Mosquitoes hatch their babies in water, therefore we had an abundance of the little blood suckers.  One family in Minnesota feels our pain and has come up with a great idea for those that aren't going to let the little pests keep us inside.

Penguins are adorable!  Take one look at the little honeys and you'll want to help, IF you can knit.  I may have to learn just to be part of this project.  The Penguin Foundation needs your help to clothe the little buggers for a couple of different reasons.  Can you help?

Found this on an article today from elitedaily.com.  Basically, the whole jist of the story is the CEO of Ambercrombie & Fitch, Jeffries, doesn't want fat kids wearing his clothes.  He's targeting the cool, popular, in shape, all American kids.  That's why you won't find XL and XXL sizes in his stores.   And women, no pants over the size of 10.

“Going postal” could soon be very fashionable.

It's not very often where I find something that I am so excited about that I actually feel the need to share it.  However Merino wool is one of those things.  I've heard about it before, but until I was finally given a pair of SmartWool socks for Christmas, I never truly believed.
