Well Hello There!
Welcome to my little home on the web. In July of 2020 I consolidated all my blogs into one location at BigGirlBlue.com.
The process of tidying up and organizing has been a bit frustrating but I’m slowly working through it. It is like moving into a new home and having someone else unpack for you.
Thank you so much for visiting and bearing with me during this process. I have provided some stuff for you to peruse below and some of it is even new! There is also a handy search button above.
Before you go please follow me on my social media platforms listed in the sidebar. If you tag me I’ll surf over and say “Hi”.
Summer is here and it is hot, hot, hot!
