About and out

After last blogging about living in cave mode, we were out and about all day today… and it was glorious. I packed up a little breakfast (nothing like a turkey sandwich in the morning) and we went to the squadron to say hi, 2 doctor appointments, a lab appointment and back home to free Miss…

No place like home

and no hound like Bell 🙂 Everyone is slowly getting into the swing of things as a new little family. More deets on the Family page, but I wanted to thank you all again for being so encouraging and wonderful this weekend. It was a life-changer, for sure, and we couldn’t be happier <3 Since…

Unseasonable

Thank you so much for the Bella well wishes <3 After a day of snuggling, a bland diet of rice and boiled chicken (she LOVED that) and some Pepcic AC (per the vet’s suggestion), she seems to be back to her Bella self. I loved reading your at-home yoga tips, too- can’t wait to check…

Mental health day

I think it’s pretty apparent from reading the blog that the Pilot works a lot, and works extremely hard. Even when he’s home on the weekends, he’s been working on house stuff (lots of master bedroom, office and nursery furniture assembly lately) since we moved in. He had a couple of extra days off work…

Workout quickie: Stability Ball Blitz

Maybe I should have just braved the eye claw. I’ve worn contacts since 4th grade, and really haven’t had any probs with them until now. They discontinued the style I’ve worn for years, so I’ve been trying to find another brand/style that will work. The eye doc gave me a pair that’s fantastic, but you…

Apple Pie Oats

Happy Sunday! What a nice and lazy morning <3 When we wake up, Bella jumps onto the bed and covers us in puppy kisses. She’s usually very stingy with her love, except for in the morning. Whenever we sleep late (like today) she makes sure to jump up there and smack us to take her…

Slow cooker applesauce

Every morning when I wake up, and every night before bed, I burn a few candles. It’s a calming thing, and I think it makes the house smell so lovely. (Fresh Balsam from Bath and Body Works is my holiday candle obsession… I have 4 of the large ones dispersed around the house, as well…

o so gorgeous

Santa came early! I’d been lurking the oGorgeous website since the new bags were released, and the above silver bag was on my Christmas list. I was beyond excited when my friend Cassey offered to send me one- it just arrived today. As you guys know, I hardly ever do product reviews on the blog,…

Blizzard Booty Burner

I woke up this morning so excited to see…. SNOW! From a distance, that is 😉 (I enjoy snow the most this way) One bonus point for chilly weather: when I take Bella out, she does her business wicked fast. I should put a jacket on her, but she’s like a little white furry lightning…

Oats, sneaks and bark

3 blog-related things from the day: 1.) The return of savory oats I say “oats” but it’s really Bob’s Red Mill hot cereal… oaty enough, though. Seasoned with nutritional yeast, garlic, sea salt, cayenne, and topped with a slice of goat gouda + the last bit of Nana’s famous egg casserole 2.) New kicks! I…
