Bella is 10!

This little dog is 10 years old! 70 in dog years, and still as spunky as ever. Since chicken is her favorite thing in the world -the Pilot and I joke that if we were made of chicken, Bella would have eaten us a long time ago- we always said that when she turned 10,…

Back in the [spin] saddle

Hi friends! Howโ€™s the morning going? Itโ€™s like P knew it was my first day back teaching, because Sunday night, she slept through the night. Itโ€™s the third time itโ€™s happened, and itโ€™s always a fluke so Iโ€™m not even worried about writing about it and jinxing it haha. But, Iโ€™m grateful to her for…

Hi friends! Howโ€™s the morning going? Happy Friday! Any fun plans this weekend?   It has been a week over here -we switched meds for P, who had a very rough couple of days- so needless to say, Iโ€™m really looking forward to having the Pilot around for backup (and adult non-goo-goo-ga-ga conversation)… and my Saturday…

It was the perfect weather yesterday afternoon for a little patio picnic.  (Liv chose the face we made haha) Liv, P and I made a little Tiki Port stop and enjoyed it outside before heading on the daily scooter walk. Acai bowl for the little lady, peanut butter supreme smoothie + berries for me (with…

Holly and jolly

Deck the halls with Bell and Caroโ€ฆ. (Random: the Pilot and I get a kick out of adding Bella and Carolineโ€™s names into song lyrics. Our holiday medley is pretty supreme.) After impatiently waiting, Christmas decorations are out! The house feels so cozy and festive.  (We need to get P a stocking!) Friday morning while…
