Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

September 2, 2025

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

 

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Today I am chatting with you about A Place for Mom. One of the things about midlife we don’t talk about often is becoming caregivers for our parents, which can be hard to navigate. 

Many of you know we lost my stepdad in January. He was the only grandfather my boys knew on my side and had been with my mom for 22 years. They live in Las Vegas, with no family living close by. I live in Utah, and my siblings live in California. This meant our mom was alone, with no family or husband. We had to act quickly to help my mom relocate, deal with family affairs, her health issues, and the emotions of the loss. I found out about A Place for Mom a couple of months after, having to navigate this part of midlife that nobody talks about enough. I thought this info needed to be shared as it could help someone else dealing with this in the upcoming months. 

 

Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom
Need Help with Aging Parents? A Place for Mom

Navigating Care

When my stepdad passed away, I suddenly found myself navigating care decisions for my mom, and I had nowhere to start. I now had to make fast decisions about what to do. I will not only take care of my dad’s last days and business affairs but also relocate my mom to Tuah to be closer to family. Although my mom can live and function on her own and she still has specific home needs as well as medical care. 

I wish I had known about A Place for Mom back then. They make the process so much easier by helping families find senior living or home care options that fit their needs. All at no cost to families. It’s an incredible service and resource for caregivers, especially during those overwhelming moments when every decision feels heavy. 

Living in different states

Even if family members live in different states, A Place for Mom’s advisors offer expert guidance to help families navigate the process from wherever they are. Which takes so much off your plate so you can concentrate on your loved one more. Learn more at aplaceformom.com.

About A Place for Mom

A Place for Mom has helped 2M+ families. They can help yours, too, with over 400+ local advisors who are trusted experts. They have 20+ years of experience helping families. In addition to their expert advisors, they also have so many resources for caregivers on their website to help navigate the process.

8 Teacher Outfits You’re Going To Love

8 Teacher Outfits You're Going To Love

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Can you believe we are headed back to school already? Where did summer go? I used to think it flew by when my kids were little, and I feel like as I’ve gotten older, it flies by even faster. Whether you are a teacher or have an office career, I’ve put together 8 outfits you could easily wear for any type of professional job, meetings, or coffee dates. These outfits are mostly made up of great wardrobe/classic pieces, which you’ll be able to wear on repeat and build your wardrobe off of. Great essentials are a necessity for creating easy, go-to outfits. 

Adding in trendy accessories is an affordable way to freshen up pieces you already have in your closet. I shared more about that on my Fall trends blog post last week. Below you’ll see how I used both closet wardrobe builders (staple pieces) and a few on-trend pieces to create outfits you can wear for more than work. I hope you enjoy what I’ve created, as well as what my 4 blogger girlfriends created for our monthly blog hop. Sharing the links to their blogs below, as I hope you’ll check out their outfit inspirations.

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

August 20, 2025

Hello Pretty Ladies,

 I’m sharing a few trends of the season, as well as some easy outfit ideas, too. Fall fashion is one of my favorite seasons to shop for, so let’s have some fun!!

This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories, a Perfect & affordable way to give your wardrobe a little update. Here are a few of the things I am noticing:) & What I’ve been Fall Trend spotting. Mixing Affordable finds with classic wardrobe staples to refresh your Fall wardrobe. Think Layers, classic Ralph Lauren, Rich fabrics, wool, tweeds, plaid, Cable knit sweaters, mixed with denim, and suede. The English countryside sets the stage for this year’s classic fall, adding in that East Coast Preppy vibe. Take these classic wardrobe basics and mix in this season’s hot colors and accessories. It is a great way to elevate any outfit this Fall.

I am headed to GTU tomorrow. For another Fashion Fix TV Segment…Featuring: “ This Season’s Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories ” @ 9:40ish am Mnt. ABC Good Things Utah/ stream live from anywhere link in bio. Watch the segment HERE.

 

This Season's Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

This Season's Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

Ralph Lauren Vibe

Ralph Lauren’s style is characterized by timeless elegance, classic American fashion, and a blend of sophistication and casual comfort.
It often features preppy elements, clean lines, and a neutral color palette, with an emphasis on quality fabrics and versatile pieces that transcend trends. 

 

Key elements of Ralph Lauren style:

    • Timeless classics:
      Ralph Lauren is known for enduring pieces like tailored suits, crisp white button-down shirts, and polo shirts, often in a preppy style. 

       
    • Neutral color palette:
      A signature aspect of the brand is the use of neutral tones like navy, white, tan, and other earthy shades, which are highly versatile and create a sense of understated elegance. 

       
  • Effortless yet polished:
    The style is about achieving a refined look without appearing overly contrived or trend-driven. 

     
  • Mixing patterns and textures:
    Ralph Lauren often incorporates a mix of patterns (like stripes, plaid, or polka dots) and textures (like leather, cashmere, or tweed) in unexpected ways, adding depth and visual interest to the overall look. 

This Season's Hottest Fall Updates and Trending Accessories

Preppy Style

The preppy vibe in my eyes is a classic style, and a vibe some of us always lean towards. Last year, we started seeing rugby stripes, polos, & loafers in a big way, and it will be even stronger this year.

    • Think polo shirts, chinos, loafers, and blazers in classic colors like navy, white, and khaki. 

       
      Country club chic:
      A blend of casual and sophisticated pieces, like a cashmere sweater paired with tailored trousers and a statement belt.

Creating A European Style Alfresco Dining Area

August 17, 2025

Hello Pretty Ladies,

Happy Sunday! Today, I am happy to share with you the outdoor dining space. Which I started creating at the beginning of summer (I shared a sneak peek a couple of times). As I put things together. I am all about romanticizing our daily lives, and what better way than to create spaces in our home that we can enjoy life’s little moments.

Dining Alfresco

Our family loves to be outside and enjoy our outdoor living spaces. We recently redid two of our decks, and our deck off our kitchen, looking into our backyard, we reworked it and decided, besides having a sitting and lounging area, we would also like to include a dining for two space. I thought this would have a cute European vibe if I created it by my potted herb garden. This area sits right out our French doors off the kitchen. 

With beautiful views, a private sitting, and steps from the kitchen, it makes it easy and relaxing to have a morning coffee or evening drinks and appetizers. I hope you’ll enjoy a peek into this fun little dining Alfesco space, and maybe be inspired to create one too. Ox, D’Arcy

Creating a European-style alfresco dining area on our deck. Perfect for morning Coffee and reading or Evening Drinks and appetizers. Taking a simple spot on your deck or porch can easily become a pretty entertaining space for two. With a little imagination, a few treasures, and a lot of love, a European dining space can be created.

How perfect was the flying Hot Air balloon while I was setting up and filming this morning’s dining experience a month ago or so? We live in a lake/ski area mountain community, and hot air balloons often fly in the early summer mornings. I couldn’t have asked for better timing!

To create an Alfresco Dining Space, you’ll need:

-A little corner in your backyard

-A bistro set or a small table and two chairs. I linked A few options here for you: Amazon, Target, Wayfair, Walmart, and West Elm

-Potted herbs (European restaurant outdoor dining areas often have a lot of potted herbs and flowers). Several even use a potted garden to block a street view to make it more quaint and private. 

– A chandelier 

-Potted Lavender, Dried Lavender 

-Pretty floral dishes

-Pretty coffee cups

-Napkins & rings

-Creamer

-Pretty serving pieces

-Layered tableclothes ( I love mixing textures, Linen, cotton, and Burlap)

-A rooster statue or a Pig is a great prop. Natural wood or painted white, or even Iron stone. ( My rooster is wood, and I painted it white, but I am going to sand most of it off to make it look like a French antique.)

– Items with a basket vibe ( I have a vintage French water Jug, and a vintage basket with a candle) 

-Galvanized watering can or cans 

-Wall fountain or ironwork for the wall

 

Sharing my affordable tips and how I created this inviting dining space

Easy Tips You Can Follow

-When creating or redoing a space in your home, see what you have that you can repurpose.

-Thrifting can be your friend. Remember, a few months ago, I shared these cute seagrass dining chairs I found at a thrift store. I knew they would be perfect for our outdoor dining space. All I had to do was clean them up.

-Tips when thrifting: Go with an open mind, and check back often. Thrift stores get new items daily, so you never know what you’ll find. 

-Depending on your budget, you can purchase from high-end antique and box stores or budget-friendly thrift stores and favorites like Amazon Home Goods and Tj Maxx. I like to do both. I love Antiques and high-end linens and dishes, but I also like thrifting and hunting at Homegoods and a good Amazon find. Mixing gives you a homier vibe along with a richer feel.

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Hello Pretty Lady,

The recipe I make often is a family favorite and has been highly requested by you. I’ve finally had a chance to get it up on the blog, and I hope you and your family love it as much as mine does. You’ll have to let me know in the comments below if you try it.

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

 

Focaccia Dough recipe:

4 cups flour, 2 teaspoons salt, 2 teaspoons instant yeast, 2 cups water. Whisk together the flour, salt, and yeast first, then add water and stir together. Add olive oil, then cover the bowl preferably with a lid or a cloth bowl cover. Stick the bowl in the fridge immediately; leave it there to rise for 12 to 18 hours (or for as long as three days). The dough recipe is one I tried from Alexandria  | and it’s seriously so good on its own with rosemary and the Sea Salt. But, I just had to try it with my Caprice Toppings, and man, the combination is so good!

TIP:

I baked the bread the day or so before (double the batch and make a couple), freeze one for later. 

Then I added all the toppings and baked for 15 minutes, or you can serve toppins cold on the baked foccia & drizzled with balsamic glaze, and served

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Caprice Toppings:

-Organic  Tomatoes 

-Fresh Basil 

-Fresh rosemary

-Chopped garlic cloves 

-Mozzarella ( I like Trader Joe’s cut in 1/2, and I use a little of the oil it’s in to drizzle )

-Sprinkle flaky salt 

-Drizzle with olive oil (I use garlic-infused) 

Homemade Caprese Focaccia Bread 

Serve with :

Balsamic vinegar and olive oil

Bruschetta sauce (Trader Joe’s)

Love a little dipping, but it’s tasty all on its own 

Other topping options:

Kamala olives 

Jalapeños

What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in What I am actually wearing this Spring…. Living in Utah as a over 50 Wife, Mom, COCO and content Creator💋

Utah Weather in the Spring 🌱
Calls for layers….

Spring weather here can be “Schizophrenic” from a blizzard  To sunny and 60 in a day!

Although we’ve had an unusually strange winter this year, Spring still calls for layers.

Bundling up for the morning, and being able to take pieces off throughout the day, makes a great tip for Utah Springs.

I like classic pieces, in light colors and weights, yet work when layered to keep you warm.

Pieces you can mix and match, great wardrobe builders and add some texture.

- lighter weight & color long Wool coat , looks chic over shoulders, yet not to hot when on (I have a rain coat too) 

-Classic trousers are still trending and a great option to look more polished, shades of cream, tan and camel are great for Spring (works well with pastels too)

- Light weight, thinner ribbed mock neck turtleneck. I love the feel and fit of these. Affordable too.

- Vest are a great Spring layer, and the large Plaid/check in neutral shades keeps in classic and add interest. Yet, light enough for spring for layering and not sweat to death 😂
(I love linen vests too) 

- Adding texture with a fluffy & light fur on one shoulder (well still be seeing fur details for Spring)  Draped on one shoulder does add heat, like wearing around your neck does.

- Classic jewelry in gold & silver mix… and yes, I layered and stacked it on… classic pieces & yet layered gives your look a little edge. 

- Western suede pointed toe booties, elongate the leg, add more texture and keep your feet warmer but not too warm. 

Do you need layers in the Spring where you live?

❤️Follow for more Spring layer Outfits…. I have several style, color and on trend. While classic looks coming your way….
