Tea is my thing

Filed Under: evie, joy, life, Me, Uncategorized Tagged With: Irish, Tea

Drinking a hot cup of tea has become my morning ritual.  It has been something I’ve done from time-to-time since I was a little girl but, in the last couple of years, I have developed a true reverence for it.  I find that I need my daily cuppa in order to feel like the day has gotten off to the…

Change Is Good

Filed Under: education, family, homeschooling, spelling

If there is one thing I’ve learned through all the years that we’ve been homeschooling it is this, be flexible.  That is the beauty of homeschooling to begin with, being able to change things up when one method isn’t working and, that is exactly what we did this week.  In my last post I mentioned that my oldest had just…

So much to tell you!

Filed Under: education, homeschooling, joy, spelling

Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misd Bowie has had a tough year and a half. He was misdiagnosed by the first vet we used here and that led to a situation where the treatment almost seemed worse than the disease. Thankfully, @lawndale_vet helped us navigate that situation and they have nursed this big boy back to a much happier place. We still are uncertain about how much time we have left with him but, for now, he is the happiest we have seen him in a long time. I am so thankful to the staff at Lawndale for, not only providing great medical care, but for loving on him and making him feel like the best boy ever at each appointment. ❤️❤️❤️

This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been This is the face of a very sad boy. Bowie has been suffering with licking granulomas since last March. We got the first one healed and then he got one on his other paw. Then that one got better but his paw pads got rubbed raw by the protective boot he was in and now are infected. Fingers crossed that this cone helps keep him from licking it so he can heal. Until then, Bowie is going to be a very sad boy, indeed. 😢

Yes, it’s still almost 80° here in NC but I’m getting impatient for cooler temps. Trying to will the cool air in! And how cute is that plate behind my cup? My sweet friend @tlventura made it for me and it’s one of two fall decorations I kept when we moved. Hope you’re having an awesome day wherever you are, friends!! ❤️❤️❤️
