Cat Chases, Cupcakes, and Caring for Our Little One

Life lately in a few words: cat chases, cupcakes, and caring! Miss Niva tried to make a new feline friend and I did some stress baking as we dealt with more sickness for baby girl Dakota. My days have blurred together in a sweet and messy way.

Our dog may be a little crazy, but at least the kitchen smells great! Poor Koko has been battling through a new virus but we’re all enjoying the extra snuggles from our wiggliest little one. I’m weary. I’m grateful. I’m here to share it all 😊

When Life Feels Like a Circus (and the Dog’s the Ringmaster)

If you’ve read my blog for any amount of time, you know our life is a bit of a circus. I’m beginning to think our sweet pup, Niva, is the ringmaster! This week, she ate a squirrel and got in a fight with a raccoon. Meanwhile, Dakota had a diaper blowout at the library and is still struggling with a double ear infection.

Just when I thought I couldn’t take another L, Sadie beat both me and Jimmy at puzzles—by a landslide. Just your average week at our circus full of critters, diaper changes, and humbling puzzle challenges 😉
