Life over 50!

 
I have to say that turning 50 has been a really good thing for me! I'm so much happier now...I've lost weight (still 25lbs more lbs to go though) and I have a wonderful man in my life (he took this photo above). Life is good!
I find it so wonderful to see so many women in their fifties looking fabulous. It's so inspiring!  Which is the reason I started my new Fit and Fabulous Over Fifty blog!

Announcing...Fit and Fabulous Over Fifty!

 
As many of you may have noticed...my passion has changed lately.  Although I still love my home and decorating I'm also more involved in getting myself in better shape and getting out and enjoying life more!  
I've lost weight and I've been working out. Along with that I've really been motivated to become the best that I can be at 50! It was a milestone birthday last year that made me realize

Today is my dad's birthday!  My dad is such a great person...really, there isn't another person alive that I trust more than him! He's the most honest, hardworking, and just generally wonderful person I've ever met!

I love the beach-cottage look so this table was really fun to put together!  You can click on the photos to enlarge them.
 

Summer on the patio...I need to

Happy Tuesday!

 
I hope you all are having a wonderful summer (or winter depending on where you live)!  The mosaic above is just a random one I made on Big Huge Labs - Mosaic Maker.  That's my 18 year old daughter, Lauren, when she was a toddler in the middle photo. My mom and I dressed her up in vintage clothes and did a photo shoot...ahhh..memories!
A couple weeks ago I spent the weekend in Lake Tahoe with my
