Sunday Coffee Date (On a Saturday!)

Time for another Sunday Coffee Date post! These are some of my favorite posts to write, because I can just imagine sitting down with a mug of coffee and talking about anything and everything with all my blogging friends 😊

I know it’s Saturday, but I just had to post today because it has been a while and I miss this space!

Cup of coffee from Nespresso machine

If we were having coffee right now… I would tell you that I’ve been an absentee blogger lately! Summertime fun, my Etsy shop, and just life in general have kept me so busy that I haven’t had much time to check in here. Sad!! I’m hoping things slow down a little so I can get back to this space more often because I love it so, so much.

If we were having coffee right now… I would tell you that I’ve been spending a lot of time in the kitchen baking, baking, and baking some more!

What My Pets and Child Have Taught Me About Life

Have you ever heard the theory that each child you have teaches you something different about life? I think it’s so true, and I also think it’s true with each pet you own. I was driving (actually, I was sitting in classic Pittsburgh traffic 😂) and thinking about this and knew I had to blog about it!

So, let’s start with my the first dog I owned, Lola.

She was legendary! My dad and I went to the humane society and picked her out together for my 14th birthday and she saw me through every major life change after that–middle school, high school, college, marriage, buying a home, adopting a cat, adopting a puppy, and having a child. She was a black lab mixed with a pit bull and very gentle and sweet.
