Crazy Work At Home Dog Mom Life Days

The majority of my writing gets done on the overnight. It's quiet. The kids are sleeping. Lisa is sleeping. Most of the world is sleeping. Minimal distractions. This has been going on for over 3 years. Work that doesn't require quiet time like posting content, baking biscuits, sewing blankets, social media stuff and tending to emails is done during the day. However, writing, that's a whole other ballgame.

I Made Some Changes. I Didn't Broadcast It.

This was my lunch today accompanied with a double shot espresso coffee. It's been a little over 3 weeks since I've eaten sugar, flour, bread, pasta and other high carb, processed foods. I didn't broadcast it. This was a personal decision based on how I was feeling physically. The headaches. Bloat. Tummy issues. Chronic fatigue. Unexplained exhaustion that would hit like a wrecking ball at any given time during the day and evening. Etc.

The Symphony Of Carrots

Aside from our variety of homemade dog biscuits, our kids love to snack on raw vegetables and fruits. Their absolute favorite are carrots. Several times a week, I cut up fresh carrot sticks. Sniff. Sniff. Sniff. Regardless of what the kids are doing, they find their way to the kitchen counter and watch. Tails wagging. They know. Carrots.

Sweet Crunchy Love Hearts Dog Treats

These biscuits have always been my favorite. Heart shaped biscuits with a swizzle of drizzle and festive sprinkles. They're perfect for Valentine's Day, but we make them all year for special occasions or when the kids want to spread a lil' crunchy love to our close friends who are also pet parents. There's just something about them.

It Was A Pretty Great Easter

The kids woke up to Easter baskets this morning. Earlier in the week we filled them with a new throw blanket to add to their already extensive collection, our homemade decorated Easter treats and their favorite chew bones.

Our Plans. It's Something.

It never fails. Right before a holiday, people ask, "What are you doing for (insert holiday)?" Our answer is always the same. We're staying home with the kids. Cooking a nice little feast. Watching a couple of movies while enjoying family snuggle time. No work. Unwind. Relax. For us, that's total bliss. However, most times our holiday plans are misinterpreted as "having no plans" or "we're doing nothing."

Our New Sofa Is Human And Kid Approved

Today was the day. Late morning, the "white glove" delivery men from Raymour & Flanigan arrived and delivered our new reclining sofa. It was love at first sit. I knew our old sofa was uncomfortable and the armrests had no cushion left, but I didn't realize just how bad it was until I spent 5 minutes on our new sofa. It was like night and day. I melted.
