7.3.17 The Birds and The Bees

First comes love: This weekend, Baloo learned all about the greatness that is girl dogs, especially older, more experienced blondes. Uncle Lancer and I enjoyed watching these two goofballs run around and play together. Bess kept Baloo in check, and Baloo learned about the intricate workings of glass doors (two full faced collisions).  Then comes … Continue reading 7.3.17 The Birds and The Bees

6.26.17 Rest

This little "sprinkle" popped up on my phone the other day and has been on my heart and mind: Did I rest? Well, you know better than that.

6.19.17 Aunt Kelly

We all have that person in our life, you know the one: kinda bossy but in a subtle "maybe it really was your idea first" kind of way, OCD but in a "huh, that really does make more sense" way, and always has good advice but follows it up with "it's really up to you, … Continue reading 6.19.17 Aunt Kelly

Today is a big day for a lot of great fathers in my life, not mine of course, but that's not what we're here to discuss. For the record, I know I got the best part of him, my sisters, and i'd give him up again and again to keep them.  Today we celebrate all … Continue reading 6.18.17 Father’s Day
