Sweet Caroline

I’m writing this post with tears streaming down my cheeks and the biggest knot in my stomach… because sweet Caroline is gone. She crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday, and devastated is an understatement. She hasn’t been doing well for a couple of years – she’d have a rough week and always seem to pull…

Goodbye, sweet Bella boo

You get a once-in-a-lifetime dog… and Bella is mine. I fiercely loved this little dog for her entire life. All 14 1/2 years. And I’m going to miss her with my entire heart until we can be together again one day. Bella was a Valentine’s gift from the Pilot when we’d only been dating for…

a Bella update

Hi friends. I hope you’ve had a wonderful week and that you’re enjoying the morning. I’m sorry that I don’t have the usual Friday Faves post this morning, but we received devastating news this week. I mentioned last week that we took Bella to an ophthalmologist because her eye has been extremely swollen and inflamed.…

Friday Faves

Hiiiiii hi! Happy Friday! How’s the week going? I feel like this one was an absolute blur. P stayed home from school all week with her ruptured eardrum – she wasn’t feeling great until Wednesday and I kept her home for yesterday’s funeral. It was a beautiful service, but felt very sad and final. It’s…

unplugging

Hi friends. <3 So, things have been a bit bananas lately. The Pilot left for airline training and was gone two weeks, and between the blog, podcast, Summer Shape Up, and taking care of the girls solo, I just feel kind of worn down. I treasure getting to spend my days with the girls and…

since he was gone

 Hi friends! How are you? Hope you’re enjoying the week so far. We jumped back in the weekly routine, and made signs on Monday to pick up the Pilot at the airport. He was gone for 3 1/2 weeks (don’t forget that extra 1/2): 4 weekends. We missed him so much, but I also looked…

Booty-Lifting Workout

Hi friends! Hope you’re having an amazing day. We are slowly making our way through the post-vacation laundry avalanche. It feels good to be back home, but I wish that a magical fairy would appear and make all of the *stuff* disappear. That would be cool. In the meantime, you’ll find me buried beneath the…

Virtual wine date

[It’s 5 o’clock somewhere, right?] Hi friends! It’s been a while since we’ve had a little wine, coffee or tea date… so here we go. 😉 If we were having wine right now, it would probably be somewhere we could share some delicious appetizers. Seasons 52? Done. If we were having wine right now, I’d…

Home for the holidays

Hi friends <3 Hope you’re having a great morning and enjoyed a wonderful weekend.  In the spirit of keeping it real… (Sweet snuggly baby, blotchy eyes from crying, and a cold sore because my immune system is officially giving me the middle finger)

Paleo Baby Meal + around the weekend

Hi friends! Happy Monday! How’s your morning going? Anything exciting happening this week? I can’t help but already feel excited because we’re headed to Tucson next week. I’ve missed the fam so much, and am definitely ready for some desert summer. (Even though the heat will burn you in the face, that’s what eegee’s are…

Welcome back, Cobb

Hi friends! Hope you’ve had a wonderful day! It’s been a bit of a busy week already. Yesterday, I went to go to see the doc for some heart palpitations I’d been experiencing. I’ve had them on and off for a couple days along with some extreme nausea and fatigue. They wanted me to go…
