The Giving Mom

Team “Apple-y Ever After” ran our first 5k together! (Hubby runs more than I do, but my goal this year was to raise my Vo2 max so I’ve been working hard to get here 😜😄) Our teens exceeded my expectations and we had a blast!! Perfect weather, beautiful orchard views, and a victory pour of hard cider/apple cider 🍻 not yoga, but still moving my body!!

Just got back from the happiest place on earth 😍🤩🥳

It’s been awhile 😬 I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the break but I miss you all 🤗 it’s been a very busy year for me, I’ve built my own dog walking & boarding business over the past year and I’m super proud of the relationships I’ve created and the knowledge I’ve acquired. 🐕🐩 (and yes it’s hard for me to talk about anything other than dogs now 🙈) It definitely fills up my schedule so I’ve had to learn how to manage my time in new ways to create space for downtime and quality time with the family. It pushed social media onto the back burner but I feel like maybe I can squeeze in a little bit here and there so maybe I’m not gone forever 😅🥹 other big updates; my parents have moved to Missouri to be close to us 🥹😍 I have two teenagers now 🥲 and my husband is retiring from the Army 🥳 life feels pretty much like a fairytale right now and I am excited about this new chapter 🥰 Are hashtags still a thing? 🙈🙉🙊

Couldn’t help myself, I got a puppy for my puppy 😅🥹🥲 meet our new baby, Chewbacca 😍🤩

Isaac and Lilith picked him up on Sunday and he got to experience the solar eclipse with us (in totality 🤩) yesterday. WALL•E already loves his new brother 😍☺️😇

He’s a mini cavapoo, like our first, I’m hoping he’ll learn to talk with buttons just like WALL•E and maybe they’ll have their own button conversation one day 🥹
