Hey!

I’m Tami

Mom, wife, hobby blogger

Welcome to Tami in Between!

A place where you’ll find classic and preppy stylish middle age fashion along with content on life, style, home & DIY projects.  My name is Tami and in 2019 when I became an “empty nester”, decided to create my own website and hobby blog!  I currently live in Louisville, KY via Chicago and grew up in Lansing, Michigan (or the “Mitten” as Michiganders call it – no I didn’t live in the thumb 😊). I’m a wife and mom to four kids who are all currently in college (three of them out of state)!   I’ve been remarried to my husband Rick for 10 years and together we’ve successfully blended our little family of six to create a life that motivates, entertains and challenges me to new heights (hello website and blog). This blog is a hobby created for me to share my life, family, home & style in a fun way to anyone that has an open mind and an open heart.

Tami in Between is:

A life, style and home blog with inspirations of family, home, DIY, fashion, travel and keto dieting peppered in. You’ll find posts about my modern mid-life style #agingstylishly along with posts about family, our home (I’m a do it your-selfer and pride myself on decorating on a dime), travel (usually consists of traveling to see kids who are away at colleges out of state) and more. It’s a space where I share the things that work (and don’t work) in my life in an honest, fun and creative way.

Tami in Between is not:

A blog that is flawless. My goal is to create a blog that is REAL. The photos won’t have every imperfection edited out because guess what?? Lint, wrinkles, dust and imperfections are REAL. The clothes won’t be tailored and some probably won’t fit perfectly but that’s the way they look on me off the rack from my closet – REAL. My makeup routine takes 5 min from start to finish every morning because I don’t have time for lined lips and smokey eyes (nor have a clue how to do all that) – REAL.

My style is:

A mashup of north & south style influences.  My closet has equal parts neutral, gritty, structured street clothes to bright, colorful, printed, preppy clothes to formal office attire to sporty athletic wear. My taste and style evolves around two factors. To wear age appropriate stylish clothes #agingstylishly that are classic, modern and comfortable. I like to be trendy and stylish, but comfort is key. I dress the same way I decorate. I find one piece that inspires me and work the look around it. If I had to give one adjective to describing my style it would be: simple. I strive to look put together and stylish but do not want to put a lot of time into any look.

My addictions are:

Fostering animals (my husband calls this “shopping” for pets). I am a foster failure (fostering resulting in adoption), so he may be right. I love dogs and am an advocate for the KY Humane Society and animal rescue. I also love watching non-fiction crime shows on TV, reading (I read every day) and drinking coffee ( drink coffee morning, noon and night). I used to work out (a lot) but after finishing the Ironman Triathlon in 2016 I hit a workout “wall” and have not been able to re-motivate myself to exercise. Therefore, I watch what I eat (watch it go into my mouth…haha). Actually though, I do follow a KETO diet and intermittent fast.

All the opinions:

Blogs, posts and pictures on the site are my own. Please keep in mind I’m not a photographer, model, make-up artist, interior decorator, editor, writer, web-designer, or paid to do this so take it for what it is. Just me being REAL. A normal, everyday mid American gal living a normal everyday mid American life, passing on my honest, normal, everyday thoughts, ideas, clothes, reviews and opinions on life, death and everything in between.
