{ What I am Loving }

A rainy Wednesday it is, but I am well rested because the little Mr. slept all night last night!! Which tops todays list of the things I am loving!!

- I love that some days my cheeks actually hurt from smiling soo much. Who knew that this little boy could cause soo much joy. I am the happiest I have been in a loooong time!

- I love that the dogs are starting to take more interest in Noah during mat time and the cats are loving him more too. Including Jazz - who gets kicked constantly because she likes to sit beside him and purr. Clearly her happy pills are working.

- I love this pic of Gracie from yesterday morning:

- I am loving white chocolate brownies. I had one at Moxie's on the weekend for the first time and now I want more! I found this recipe on Pinterest and might have to try it!

- I am struggling with wearing my hair down lately because I get annoyed with it when nursing, so I have been trying to find cute ways to tie it back. I came across this one and I love it!

- I am loving that the first ball game of the season is Friday!! 

- I love that the results of my x-ray have finally showed that my ankle fracture has healed. It doesn't explain the pain or the swelling and bruising, but I at least know I won't sustain more damage by exercising again. I will just have to deal with it and push on!

- I think Noah and I are going to have to get crafting and make this for his nursery:

I have never made my own canvas art! Anyone have any tips?

- I would also love to make these:

But I think I will have to then make a new gallery wall to showcase them, which I am considering doing on my staircase going upstairs like this one:

- I am loving the duet by Blake Shelton and Shakira called Medicine:

I hope everyone is having a great day, we are off to the vet today for shots and blood work.

Thoughts On Thursday

What a "lovely" ice storm we are getting...

We all survived the vet appointment. We are waiting for some blood work on Lily, which will hopefully come with good results!! Now we need to work on losing some puppy pounds!! Not that my vet is concerned, but it would be nice!

Gracie is still being a pin head... she is just soo darn stubborn when she wants to be... instead of walking through door ways she runs... like she has some sort of door anxiety or is too excited to go through them. So we are working on curbing that behavior by using a leash on her when going through doorways...

Insert stubborn face....

 



Moving on to the kitchen counters... we have them... in the garage! Not sure when they are going to be in the kitchen!! Mike has the rest of his fire course this weekend. So he told me to go buy a faucet... this is what I am thinking:

Oh and it's on sale!! Save 45%!! I'm just a sale shopper, what can I say? I love a good deal!



Well I need to go organize my bedroom... the new duvet will be premiering, as well as clothes being folded and put away. I know it sounds fun...

Ugh... It's Vet Day Today....

Today, I have to take the dogs to the vet. I have avoided going to the vet myself ever since this day when I had to leave Lily there! My heart literally broke and continued to break as her health issues unfolded. It doesn't help that the last time I went I had to take Binx and leave her too!

The fact that we almost lost her, and I remained strong and fought back those thoughts, makes me think I just knew it wasn't time. But the fact that we almost Lily still scares the crap out of me! We have our very own little miracle on our hands!

Crazy that it has just about been a year (2 days short) since she was soo sick. But on the flip side, it's almost been a year and she has completely turned her health around! She fought soo hard just to be with us! Dog's don't usually survive liver failure!

But she is here today, she gained her weight back, but she is happy and has energy, is eating, she has finished the hard medications and is pretty much on maintenance now! So here is to hoping she is healthy!!

So I am putting on my strong face and heading to the vets with both Gracie and Lily again today, and I plan to leave with both of the them as well!!
