  • In the midst of a sea of grief in our home, as our precious Bug lost her baby, Goblin, on October 19th and then our Henry on October 26th, Bug turned 21 on the 25th. Needless to say, this was not how we would have ever wanted things to go – but, in addition to… Read more

  • As I stated in my earlier post, our family has experienced some exciting changes since the end of last week. Since Dax started having chemotherapy, it has been difficult for Juliet, his sister outside, when he has to be away from her for treatment. After careful consideration, we decided to adopt another baby for outside… Read more

  • a. week.

    Since I posted on Monday, it has been A. Week. We’ve been at our wonderful vet’s office twice with Henry, who has been sick – and it has been scary – for antibiotics and labs, adjusting meds and sorting issues with his kidneys and infections because he is immunocompromised.

No matter how high my book stacks get, he never complains; rather, he… Read more

In my town, we have a lovely new city park space where events like Friday Night Movie Night and Cityfest are held as well as our weekly farmers market – and it is fantastic. ❤ Yesterday there were extra activities for families (for Community Night Out and Farmers… Read more

  • I’m adding a new tag – daily thoughts – to post snippets from my day-to-day, pictures and whatnot I want to share. (These will be mostly short posts from my phone about my spoonie life ♥️.) Today, I’m in bed, still fighting this beast of a flare – but it has turned out to be… Read more

  • Last fall, Courtney was helping our Pop with some projects down at the lake, so, as they were working, we were also blessed to spend several football Saturdays with Mom, Pop, and GJ, watching football and baseball games and enjoying family time together. ❤ One Saturday, I noticed on our way down that a neighbor… Read more

  • a love list.

    As I shared in my earlier post, I have been in distress over health issues and other concerns this week, things I cannot change – and I do think it is important to share those things here, especially so that my fellow chronic illness sufferers may feel less alone as they deal with similar issues.… Read more
