TJ Maxx Spring Shopping

But on my recent TJ Maxx spring shopping trip I was impressed by the store. There were tons of associates, […]

Spring Refresh – No Shopping

With longer, warmer days, I was ready for a spring refresh, but not ready for shopping. I dug out all my Easter/Spring stuff and used a bit of it here and there. Right after Christmas I did my bigger spring decorating because winter is so depressing to me. I’ve been happy with the simple clean […]

Week Wrap Up

My first week of retirement was busy and didn’t go a thing like I had planned.  There were no lazy days sitting by the pool (or by the fire) reading.  There was only one long walk.  But there was fun to be had and friends to share it. Here’s my week wrap up. And a […]

September TJ Maxx Finds

No full-fledge fall decorating around here yet.  I like to dip my toe into seasonal decorating, and it’s way too early for pumpkins and leaves.  But I took a little gander around TJ Maxx this weekend and here are a couple of September finds I thought I’d share.
