The twins graduate from preschool!

The Lord has blessed my husband Carlos and I with the two sweetest grandsons ever Isaac and Caden!  They are five years old and they just graduated from preschool.  Caden and Isaac were born 10 weeks premature but you couldn't tell that today.  They are both thriving, smart, loving and loving little boys who are so excited to be starting Kindergarten in the fall.  

To the twins I am known as Gemmy.  When I first found out that my daughter and son in law were going to have a baby (and then later found it was babies) I was a young 46 years old so I wasn't mentally prepared to be called Grandma :-)   So, I started thinking of other names they could call me. I didn't want to be Nana, Mimi, Grammy, Granny etc.  . .  So my niece Ashley came up with the name of Gemma short for Grandma Emma and that is what I originally went with.  Well, two years after the twins were born and were starting to really talk Caden all of sudden started calling me Gemmy.  At first I said, "Caden, I'm Gemma" but he was pretty consistent in calling me Gemmy.  So I let him . .I had one calling me Gemmy and the other calling me Gemma.  Eventually, Isaac started calling me Gemmy too so I became Gemmy to both of them.  I love that name not because it's the cutest name but because they named me that.  

I can't believe they are already 5 1/2 and getting ready to start elementary school.  Time has flown by but it has flown by even sweeter with these two in our lives.

Perfect lightweight button down off-the-shoulder top from TJMaxx

It's nearing 90 degrees here in Central Florida so that calls for a less is more look. 😉. This cold shoulder top from TJMaxx  is so light and airy it practically feels like you have nothing on. 😉. I wore this outfit all day to work and while running a few errands and honestly it's been a long time since I have received  so many  compliments about a shirt then I did  on this one today.  Also taking my look to new heights with these Aerosoles  wedges. I have decided that wedges are my new best friend for my feet. They not only give me height but they are super comfy to wear all day. That's a win win. 💛💛

Diving Back Into The Blogging World

I had blogged for many years about my family and life but as my children grew up and started moving out I stopped blogging back in 2009.  About four years ago I started missing it so I started blogging via Instagram.  Through Instagram I have shared my love of fashion, travel, family, ministry and life.  I have met so many amazing people through that media outlet and many of them have encouraged me to start up blogging again.   After thinking about it for about a year I decided to start up again.  This time around my posts will be coming from a woman who is now in her 50's, almost an empty nester, a grandmother and in full-time ministry.  My posts will consist of lifestyle, fashion, beauty, in the kitchen and full-time  ministry.
