Bow

I have very rarely bowed in worship, physically, but I wonder what that would feel like if I tried it. Oh, I’ve bowed in shame, knelt in sorrow, and bent over in grief.

But bowing in worship, like the three wise men did…
Have I done that?

Just heard this song 🎵 last night… So beautiful. And so fitting as we enter the Christmas season. I’m going to be starting three different advent activities tomorrow, hoping you will join me. But today, I’m still giving thanks ☺️ for this weekend, for the cold temperatures this morning, the cozy sweaters, And the cozy socks 🧦 … And the sparkly earrings I found in the checkout line @marshalls - so fun. Are you embracing the cold temperatures this morning or is it still warm where you are? #thymemag #cozyandcute #sweaterweather

I was shocked 😮 at how many on here and on fb said you don’t go out on Black Friday! It’s not crazy. It’s a good kind of fun! I’m wearing all the finds! Loafers 👞 40% off @target - run! They’re so cute and comfy. This black sweater and the $5 bag and necklace from @jcrewfactory - one of my favorite stores! Wrapping paper from @tjmaxx and stocking stuffers @thecontainerstore - the whole store is 30% off. We are headed out to markets today. Yay! #thymemag #thanksgivingweekend #thisisfun

Do you head out to the stores 🏬 on Black Friday? My mom and I had a tradition of starting at 6 AM, grabbing breakfast, and hitting the stores all day long… It was the best. My sweet husband now goes with me and we hit the stores and shop 🛍️ all day long as well, even though we’ve already bought a lot of our gifts. We like getting out with all the festive decor, the music, and just picking up little extras as we see them, enjoying food, all the things. It’s officially holiday 🌲 season… So I’ve got all the red and green. Will you be in the stores today? #thymemag #christmasshopping #blackfriday

Happy Thanksgiving! I’m thankful 🦃for every friend I have here in this space… And today I chose a dressy top with super dressy earrings from @erinmcdermott1. Pairing that dressy top with my favorite jeans 👖 from @sidefeel_official. Hair is up and I’m filling the house with smiles. In case you’re a bit sad 😞 today, consider adding light, smells, laughter, a long bath, music 🎵 on while cooking 🥘 in the kitchen, trivia questions about Thanksgiving, watching old shows, all the things… And then give thanks. #thymemag #thanksgodforeverything #happythanksgivng

I swore off pantyhose 20 years ago… Anyone else do the same? 🙋‍♀️They’re calling them opaque tights this season… And they’re supposed to be run resistant… So let’s hope. I do agree that they look so pretty with skirts, and I found this pair of tights on @amazon. I’ll share the link in stories. It comes in a two pack. I’m pairing it with a plaid skirt and my fun boots 🥾 from @target . A @onequince sweater and bag, and then a cardigan and a tee with a hat… For a little dressy look this November. Happy Thanksgiving 🦃 eve to all! Put up your feet and enjoy a few stories on the pages of THYME in between your dishes and cleaning. See link in bio. #thymemag #tights #over60model

I remember arriving at my mom‘s house 🏡 and she was all dressed up for Thanksgiving. Then right before we sat down to eat, she would slip into her bedroom and change into something more practical and cooler… Because she was burning up 🥵 from cooking in the kitchen. I’m all for looking dressy, it’s my favorite, 😍 but sometimes we just have to be practical. And grateful. Because that’s what the day is all about. So what if we pull out our favorite grateful T-shirt and just wear different sweaters over the top that we can take off and tie around our waist or put back on when we’re chilly, or leave off altogether… pants @amazon and tee @love.in.faith What would that be like? Are you more practical on Thanksgiving or a little more dressy… Or both? #thymemag #thanksgivingoutfit #gratefulthankfulblessed

Honest confession, here… And an unpopular opinion… I only own one or two athleisure sets because I don’t enjoy wearing them! 😎 I am wearing one today because we’re playing with kiddos all day, but I prefer to wear jeans 👖 because I just don’t feel dressed up in these. Anyone else agree? Or am I the only one? #thymemag #athleisurewear

Day 4 accessorizing! I have so many options 🤔when it comes to scarves 🧣 and they are my staple accessory - and organizing them in little boxes calms me and makes me happy during the holidays. Is that weird? I love to lay out sweaters and tops, since next week is Thanksgiving I’ll choose the neutral woodsy hues. Then I just choose scarves, snap some pictures 📸 and save them and I’ve got options! A girl needs options… What do you think about scarves? Love ❤️ them or despise them? #thymemag #scarves #ilovescarves

Friday Fancy… 🤗 Have you ever used three little hooks to put together outfits on the back of the door before you get dressed? I’m using my over the door ironing board for a place… For those hooks. 👍. It allows me to arrange an outfit before I try it on. We have a somewhat fancy dinner 🥘 to go to tomorrow night, I’m just playing with shoes, a bottom and a top, accessories, and a bag… The earrings are @lovelybydanimarie and this top@was a speck too big, so I just used a couple of safety pins to make darts in the front and make it more fitted… It worked. Fancy ⚡️ is fun, don’t you think! #thymemag #fancy #dressedup

Typical Thursday. 🤗And the first thing she softly touches is my earrings… And she whispers… On my day with one year old Corie. 👶. It’s the day I get to wear comfy pants, a graphic tee @love.in.faith and sneakers 👟 . I always take a bag with a treat and maybe some clothes @target and something Christmasy 🎄this time of year. And of course I pack my lunch. What does your typical Thursday look like? Be sure to watch to the end to see the pure 🥰joy… Happy day to all! #thymemag #grandmother #happydays

Whimsical Wednesday 🎀. I found this shirt @oldnavy - a pale pink flannel. Wearing it today so so simply with a bit of whimsy. A big bold necklace I found on clearance , mismatched earrings from @amazon , sparkly ✨rhinestones from @marshalls and a classic vintage pair of black earrings with a little tiny pin to wear on my collar. From a vintage store. Do you like a little bit of whimsy with your outfits? Happy Wednesday! #thymemag #flannelshirt #whimsical #earrings

Have you ever gone Christmas 🎄 caroling? It’s one of my favorite things to do and it seems like no one wants to do it anymore… But I say grab a hat, you only have to wear a hat about three times before you become less conscious of having it on… You can tuck your hair up with a clip so it won’t be flat. Grab your coat 🧥 and mittens and open your mouth 👄 and sing 🎶 ! These carolers on my mantel are vintage and they scare my grandkids to death… But I love them. Ha! 🤗. Find a link in stories for this dress - it is @walmart and the coat @oldnavy - found the hat on vacation! #thymemag #caroling #hats #christmascarolling

I feel like today we are really kicking off the holiday 🎄season… We’re headed to a small town with some friends for a festival and shopping, and I’m all here for it. I’ve already begun decorating, I started with my bedroom 🛌this year. The throw is from @amazon , the little Christmas 🎄 pillows are from target… And for that burlap pillow? It’s a leftover sack rack burlap bag from Halloween that I put over a pillow I already had and I tied it with a little gift card bag that I had. A ribbed sweater over a ribbed shirt. Links in stories. Red for the season and a silk scarf 🧣 and sneakers too! #thymemag #holidaybedroom #christmasbedding

Let’s go out with a bang! ❗️ It’s day five of monochromatic looks and it’s brown… 🤎One of my faves… And probably the most prevalent color in my closet. I was influenced by @ourkentuckylifestyle to buy this skirt from @walmart and it’s my base! 1. Tuck up a brown sweater and add a belt. 2. A brown blouse can be partly tucked for a peplum look and add a couple western 🤠accessories. 3. Got a brown faux leather jacket? Add a scarf! 4. Mix all the textures. 🤗Linen. Crochet. Corduroy. Wood. Which is your favorite look? Boots are @target I’ll link what I can in stories! #thymemag #monochromatic #brownoutfit #ilovebrown

Day 4. Monochromatic looks… And today it’s burgundy. One of my best ✔️hacks when shopping for burgundy, is to take a picture of your base piece, for me it was my pants. I made sure the image was the right shade and I took it with me shopping 🛒 to find the sweater @marshalls to go with it. Gold ⭐️looks beautiful against burgundy and guess what else? Chocolate brown 🤎with burgundy gives you another monochromatic look… Seriously, it works! This is a beautiful color to wear into the holidays, enjoy! #thymemag #monocromatic #burgundy

Day 2 of monochromatic looks! Today it’s cream. The jeans are @jcrewfactory and I love 💕 layering tees. Found a great pack @amazon - and the sweater is from a discount store. I had all of these in my closet and it was so fun to put together the look. I grabbed a spring bag 💼 I had in a cream color and added a fall scarf 🧣 tied around the handle. I also have a long dainty necklace from @worldmarket and a winter scarf in plaid! I hope you are inspired to shop your closet for this look for fall! #thymemag #monochromaticlook #shopyourcloset

I thought 💭 it would be so fun to do five days of monochromatic looks… Black, brown, gray, burgundy and cream. Today it’s all black! 🖤Just a black shirt and black denim, add a scarf, 🧣 a belt, a sweater or a jacket, and then a pop of color ♥️with a bag. All different options if you stand in your closet and grab all pieces black and then just accessorize… So fun! 🤩 #thymemag #dressedinblack #monochromatic

It’s November! Last night it was date night and I felt in the mood for a hat 🧢 to snuggle next to him at the theater… And this morning we’re headed to a birthday 🎂 party for one of the kiddos… She’s turning one.

I get amused 🤗at how all of us stand with our legs crossed or bent, just right… So that we look our best. Sometimes I almost fall over, trying to do the right pose! But I do want to share these wonderful stretchy brown trousers🤎 that I found @amazon and that you can wear a brooch on your scarf 🧣 around your waist! This is a very large rectangular scarf and it works great. This is my outfit for Halloween 🎃 day… But who knows what I’ll be wearing tonight…👻 link for the pants is in my stories. #thymemag #brownpants #brownandblue

I get amused 🤗at how all of us stand with our legs crossed or bent, just right… So that we look our best. Sometimes I almost fall over, trying to do the right pose! But I do want to share these wonderful stretchy brown trousers🤎 that I found @amazon and that you can wear a brooch on your scarf 🧣 around your waist! This is a very large rectangular scarf and it works great.

Yes, it is sweaters and scarves 🧣 , and all the fall accessories… But at the end of the month, it’s looking back and giving thanks 🙏 for birthdays, vacations, fall leaves, family, and more. And if you watch till the end, you’ll see who’s turning one today… And I get to play 👶with her all afternoon. My green sweater is @earthboundtrading a favorite place to stop in and browse. What are you thankful for as you look 👀 back over the month of October? Share it below. #thymemag #october🍁 #thankful #reflection

Polkadots… Do you love them or hate them? I love ❤️ them, in moderation… So I found this really pretty sweater from @amazonfashion and I’ll link in stories. It could be dressed up for Christmas 🎄 and the holidays, worn for Thanksgiving 🦃dinner, or I just added a butterfly 🦋 on my shoulder to wear it today… For errands and work. It’s so versatile, it’s comfortable, and I think it’s beautiful! Which way would you wear it? #thymemag #polkadots #sweaterweatherisbetterweather

One of my words earlier in the year was “linger.” Linger a little longer to observe the little things in life, like cozy pajamas🤗. These literally are the softest, prettiest, most elegant set of pajamas I have and they’re from @walmart_jwd - great price, they have pockets, and they’re just luxurious! Can you linger this morning 🌅for a bit before the week begins? #thymemag #linger #pajamas #cozyathome @walmart

I decided to let the song 🎵 speak instead of myself… But you can tell what I’m doing. I love ❤️ mixing casual with dressy. It’s just a T-shirt and jeans, dressed up with a ribbed sweater, leaving the collar up. I found the cutest necklace yesterday @worldmarket and I have some new specs 👓by Jessica Simpson @tjmaxx. And the back of my hair was an accident but I like it! Sundays are for worship, markets, and strolls 🚶‍♀️… Don’t you think? #thymemag #sundaymood☀️ #casualtodressy #jeansandtee

It’s my birthday 🎂 today! And I’m 68 years old. I’ve never quite understood why it’s rude to ask a woman her age, when a birthday means she has lived another year to the fullest. I’m so thankful. And tonight my husband has planned a fun 🤩 evening, and I’m trying to decide which of these three toppers to wear with my blouse and jeans 👖 … And my new boots. The bag is @oldnavy and the boots 👢 are @target - I love ❤️ them and will link in stories. So…which topper?

All the pregnant 🤰 young moms these days cup their hands 🙌 under their bellies so proudly, and all of us older moms that are twice their age try to cover up our stomachs that are less than flat because we’ve given birth, we’ve aged, we’ve weathered storms, and we’ve enjoyed life and food… 🥘 And yet we struggle to hide the very thing the young moms are proud to display. It’s hard to have a completely flat stomach when you’ve lived over six decades…approaching seven. While some manage to do so, some of us struggle, and I say wear the fitted dress 👗 and even if it’s short… You can add tights. You can be proud of those curves, or you can cover them up, but don’t ever be ashamed of the body you’ve lived and given birth to after your kids are grown and gone… This red dress, I’m just practicing with it for the holiday season coming up, can you believe Christmas 🎄 is only a couple months away! A solid red ♥️dress is something fun to play with, don’t you think? Link in stories, it’s from @walmart #thymemag #reddrress #bodyimagewarrior #owningit

It’s the morning after… The pumpkin 🎃 party, that is. The best part was when three year-old Camp arrived and exclaimed, “ I’ve been waiting for this day all year!” I’m wearing one of several shirts I bought from @walmart , I love the ribbed texture, and I think some of them were meant to be dresses… But I’m enjoying them as long tops. See link in stories 🤗. It’s cleanup day today, after all of the activities last night, and my favorite was the string art on the pumpkins and the monster 👹 mash of course… We had a bag full of props and each person had to pull one out and wear it and dance across the yard. Total fun. Happy Monday everyone, I hope you’re dancing 💃 your way into this week.#thymemag #monstermash #pumpkinparty #pumpkinart

It’s windy, and we had to secure some things down… But the temperatures have fallen and I’m thrilled. 🍁We spend lots of weeks preparing for this pumpkin party with the kiddos, and what better outfit than overalls 👖I found on @amazon that are my favorite. I’ll share the link in stories. From an eyeball 👁️ race, to sack races, to bobbing for apples, 🍎 using string art on our pumpkins, and more… We’re having an old-fashioned vintage type party… To celebrate the season of fall. And it didn’t rain ☔️ us out! That’s a blessing…#thymemag #halloweenpartyideas #pumpkinparty

Transforming our backyard this weekend into an old-fashioned pumpkin party… And I can’t wait. And today, I took my maxi Jean skirt that I wore all spring and summer and added some slip on mules, a brooch I found at a vintage store, a striped sleeveless sweater with a @halftee underneath, and this new navy bag 💼 from @oldnavy - linked in stories - I’m loving all things fall… Even when the temperatures haven’t quite decided which season it is yet. Bb What are your weekend plans?#thymemag #jeanskirt #newbag #fridaylook 🍂🍁🍁🍃🍂

Hanging with Corie today and wearing my long sleeved graphic tee at my waist! 🤗But the real fun is all the pumpkin 🎃 activities. We’re having an old-fashioned Halloween party in our backyard this weekend: Stacked pumpkins to decorate with stickers. A blowup hotdog 🌭 with some hay bells for eating hotdogs! A super tiny shallow baby swimming pool will serve our tub for bobbing apples. We have to have a fishing booth! How about a skeleton 💀 tray with candy all around? A bag of costumes and a monster mash waltz across the grass! It wouldn’t be old-fashioned without sack races! Relays of the most fun kind, including carrying a big eyeball 👁️ on a skeleton hand! All kinds of plastic tablecloths for backdrops…. And scarecrows for part of the yard decor. I found most everything at the dollar tree, target, just looking around everywhere I go… And of course, we will decorate many pumpkins 🎃 with little push pins and string to make string art pumpkins! #thymemag #pumpkinparty #halloweenparty🎃 #oldfashioned @dollartree

After airline ✈️snafus and major delays we arrived home at 3am 🕒 and I’m still awake early anyway! I thought it would be fun to share a few snippets of some things that worked well for this vacation to the northeast… one might not think of: * a stack of scarves 🧣 for variety. * Cute socks 🧦 to wear that show. * Your most colorful coat * Earplanes that help with cabin pressure. * no packing cubes - lay clothes back and forth. * an extra bag 💼 for souvenirs (or another scarf) 🤗. * a puzzle book 📖 for delays * a pashmina for everything! * one bold necklace * two sneakers 👟 and one pair of boots. * a backpack 🎒 for all the things Why no packing cubes? I’ve had all sizes and shapes and I only use the small ones now. I’ve rolled and tried all the tricks. But I find that one fold and back and forth layering works the best for me! Soooo much fits and the top and bottom are together. What’s a tip that’s your fave? #thymemag #packingtips #vacationlist #savethis

Last day and we spent it in Stowe. The gondola 🚠 up the mountain provided the best views! And the @vontrappresort nearby was a jewel. 🤗Although I seriously cried 😢hiking the steep incline to the little chapel. We actually met Maria’s granddaughter, as well! Such a fun day and such a fun 👌way to end such a fun trip. And this sweater? It’s @shopcider - my newfound site I love. Thanks for watching… we are happy to be flying home, however, because it’s pumpkin 🎃 party time this weekend at our house! Happy Tuesday…#thymemag #vermonting #stowe #vacation

It’s the covered bridges for me 🤗every time we vacation up this way. My goodness they’re pretty. Ever buy something off season and then when that season is here again, you’re so excited to wear it? This scarf is that thing. And I can’t decide how to tie it!
Pink 👛orange 🧡and brown 🍂. That’s the color combo today. And sighing over New England beauties. #thymemag #coveredbridges #vermont
