Slice of Life Day 17: The Ikea Effect
I’m convinced Ikea has found a way to time travel because I spend more time in that place than any other store! We went to Ikea yesterday afternoon for one specific thing, a cute little rolling cart to organize my office space and to get a few ideas for a…

Slice of Life Day 11: Rescue Dog
This is Aria, she’s a 5-ish year old rescue pitbull mix. And she’s absolutely loveable, cuddly, crazy, energetic and weird. Her gotcha story is probably a good place to start: We started looking for a dog about 6 months after we bought a house (one of the main reasons for…

Slice of Life Day 10: Spring Ahead
It’s supposedly 7:15am and I’m all discombobulated! I fell asleep early last night after a busy day of garage renovation and deep cleaning the house (which now looks amazing)! After my dog woke me up requesting her morning walk, I realized just how dark it still is (plus it’s pouring…
