Thanks to a great reader suggestion, next month I'm going to be starting a new series called Ask Kilee. I love getting emails from OLM readers with questions or asking for advice, but honestly, my email is a mess.

Well I'm in. ALL in. This kimono trend is the best thing that has happened to my summer. I was suspicious at first. You know I love all things southwestern and not really those from the Far East, but when this navy kimono arrived with my Stitch Fix last week, I about fell over.

As much as I love Hallmark, I rarely shop at their card stores. I buy Hallmark cards for birthdays and events, but most other things at their card shops don't fit my taste. I wasn't sure what to expect from HMK, but I can say that I was very pleasantly surprised and would love to shop there again.

Well, I'm that girl this morning that somehow downloaded a bunch of virus-like pop-up garbage last night, so my computer is now painful to work on. Hope your day is starting better than mine!

Just a quick post today. I was asked to start teaching the three year olds' class at church, and my lesson prep is calling. I'm so glad to be teaching Kesler's class because three is such a fun age.

Well - good news and bad new friends. The good news is that we are celebrating Knox's birthday tonight. The bad news is that he is now 13 1/2 months old.
