Hey guys! Teachers appreciation week is almost here! Whether it’s the end of the school year or the beginning of a new one, showing appreciation for our kids’ teachers is something I truly love doing.

Riley Got Her Own Room!
Hi guys! We finally did it—Riley officially has her own room! It’s something we’d been thinking about for a while, and this year just felt like the right time. She’s growing up so fast, and we knew she’d love having her own little space to play, rest, and just be Riley. Behind Riley’s Room. If we’re being real, part of the reason behind the timing is because her dad and I were ready to reclaim some space for us. We wanted to get a little closer, enjoy our own room again, and have more ...

Meet Disney: Our Wild Mini Golden Doodle!
Hi guys! Guess what? We officially have a sweet new pup and her name is Disney! Before I introduce Disney, I want to take a moment to talk about Kobe. Sometimes, as much as we love our pets, things don’t work out the way we hoped. It was a rough decision, but I ultimately realized that Kobe needed a home that better fit his needs. While it was heartbreaking, I knew I had to do what was best for him. The good news? Kobe found is now is the perfect home for him where he is thriving! He’s with ...
