When I was a teenager, I loved the clothes in my mom’s closet. We wore the same size and I couldn’t wait to wear one of her peplum dresses along with peep toe pumps complete with the cutest bow— those were so classy in the 80’s! I felt like a million bucks and was definitely dressed for success. The Bible clearly...

My husband always jokes that I could survive for years stranded on a desert island with only the contents of my purse! Today I decided to go with a smaller...
