pet sitting

Currently: August 2017

Current book Just finished Midwife: A Journey by Peggy Vincent and really enjoyed it.

Current blessing A lovely camping trip this past weekend. I plan on posting about it sometime this week!

Couple in the woods

Current beauty product Yes to Carrots Nourishing Daily Cream Facial Cleanser. I am a big fan of the Yes To brand, and this product was new to me. I’m loving it for two reasons: it works well and smells amazing.

Current indulgence Blogging when I should be working 😉

Current obsession Summer weather. I just love this season!

Current craving A less busy schedule. Jimmy and I have had a lot going on lately, and I’ve been craving some rest from it all.

Current drink I’m pretty sure the answer to this will always be coffee!

Current need Time with my family. I think we need to have a summer cookout soon.

Current procrastination Posting about mine and Jimmy’s closet room renovation. We pretty much finished it up months ago, but I’ve just been too lazy to post about it, I guess?! I’m motivated to do it soon, though!

Current confession Jimmy sent me a meme the other day that said “I don’t always lose things, but when I do it’s because my wife moved it” and I have to say that is pretty accurate for us.

Current food Annie’s Cocoa Bunnies Cereal. I am off my Puffins kick and onto cocoa bunnies now! I even got Jimmy hooked on these, haha.

Current excitement A new daily pet sitting client! She’s a cute little golden retriever puppy.

Tell me something current in your life! Also, can you believe it’s August already?!

Five Things Making Me Smile Lately

1. Garage nights with Jimmy. We’ve both been working on some projects a few nights a week in our garage and I so cherish that time we spend together painting, sanding, sawing, and creating. I’ll share what we’ve been working on soon! Completing projects together reminds me of the time right before we got married, when Jimmy helped me make a shoe shine box for my dad. Good memories 🙂

2. Indy. My sister’s puppy, Indy is so sweet. Hannah, Indy, and I spent the day together this past week and it was such a sweet day of laughter, pet sitting, and catching up. Hannah and I filmed a vlog that day, too, if anyone wants to see Indy in action! He got along so well with Lola and the dogs I pet sat. He’s a good boy 🙂

3. Baking Projects. I’m on to my next baking project! I’m making Princess Leia cupcakes for Leia’s first birthday party! I can’t believe she’s going to be a year old already. Time flies when you’re having fun 🙂

4. Gardening. Jimmy and I both agreed that our zucchini is the biggest it has ever been before. I think it’s from all the rain we’ve been getting here in Pittsburgh this summer. It’s kind of hard to tell in the picture, but the zucchini plant is up to my waist! Crazy, but we are loving it. Something else we’re loving? The landscaping fabric we put down in the garden this year. We have done zero hours of weeding and it is glorious!

5. Pet sitting. I think I’ve mentioned pet sitting in every one of my posts for the past couple of years, ha. Business is busy and fun and challenging. When I was a child, it was my biggest and wildest dream to be able to work with animals one day. Now, I’m with animals all day, every day. I know a lot of people probably think it’s silly that I’m pretty much living out my career dream by pet sitting, but that’s just who God made me to be 🙂
