A style blog based on a fifty-something Baby Boomer doing her best to age gracefully.
Here are all of my lifestyle posts featuring my family, travel, home decor, and inspirations.
Did you know August 17 is Baby Boomer Recognition Day? Perhaps I noticed this dubious distinction because I have a milestone birthday in less than 30 days. When I turned 60, a fabulous friend gave me a book titled Now You’re 60! by Brandon Crose. A notation in the keepsake refers to Boomers as America’s […]
I distinctly remember when my five-year-old daughter Channing started developing her mind. 1992, she celebrated her fifth birthday with a sleepover at our new home. The gifts she received from the party were typical little girl presents, mostly Barbie dolls. I have strong recollections of my millennial never embracing Barbie dolls.
As I live this lockdown life, I’m finding ways to stay productive, like sprucing up my backyard patio. Gardening happens to be my great escape. This year, I discovered Amish Greenhouse Shopping for All My Gardening Needs.

This year, I made it to the 2020 Philly Flower Show, featuring Mediterranean royalty and exotic gardens. Last Thursday was the perfect day to take […]
Google jumped on Black History recognition this year with a search trend when analyzing the “most searched” speech in America. Please keep reading to get all the deets, but for now, I must say I can’t get enough of Google’s moving Black History Month commercial.
I firmly believe in getting out of your routine to stimulate your mind and creativity. Relaxing and having fun are suitable for everyone. But did you know that new experiences contribute to good health?
Are you looking for a quick and fun getaway? NYC is a must-see tourist destination, with many destinations like the famous commercial intersection and Times Square. Little did I realize that the Theatre District is located within this hub. I just wanted to see a Broadway play. Stay tuned; let me tell you about my […]
IMG_4218.JPG MLK Day marked seven years of blogging at The Age of Grace. I’m ready to celebrate with a Blog Anniversary Subscriber Giveaway — a first since the email list instituted last year. Many of you know I have worked full-time as a pharmaceutical sales specialist for the last 22 years. However, I started blogging […]
