Lovely people

The heavens have opened up and interesting, engaging, and just plain fabulous women have fallen into my world.

Women that are the no nonsense, honest and easy to be around type.

Women I can sit and chat with about anything for hours on end.

The kind of women that open a bottle of wine and just pour me a glass without asking.

The kind that we talk about the most embarrassing and even intimate things with ease.

I have a couple of few very close girl friends {besties who live in other states}, but I haven't had a lot of casual girl friends in my life.
For some reason now is the time, and I'm embracing it with open arms!

I've never been one to turn down an offer to go out or just hang out with a friend and chit chat. But I'm also not typically the one who invites others to go out or hang out.

From this point forward I will engage my women friends more often.

I really enjoy having a friend to share my interests with, which bonds us together {running, blogging, kids and play dates, fashion and shopping, travel, entertaining and foodies, cultural events, interior decor, work and career, and of course WINE}.

Different friends, different interests, but all overlapping with me.

Almost every week I seem to stumble upon a new blog and get so excited to make a connection with you and/or your style.

Sweet Jo over at Secret Garden Cottage passed along the 'versatile blogger award' to me while I was away in California. She has done some incredible things with her home. Just look at her potting area below~ this is pure heaven to me! The only thing missing is a big wicker chair and a bottle of white wine, I could sit out here all day.So I'm throwing a big hug to all of my women~folk out there.

I ♥ you all and feel so blessed to have you in my life!
