I had to look back to see, I started this blog 15 years and two days ago. Wow! 15 years and two days ago  my husband and I were only 8 years into our now 23 year marriage. We had our two Miniature schnauzers and our cat. Sweet, sweet fur babies. Having children and becoming a mom was only a dream. 

It seems that 15 years ago I was just starting to learn about life, or shall I clarify, adult life. I spent so many years essentially journaling out those life lessons here. Over those years I benefited greatly from the simple act of journaling my thoughts, challenges, and trials, and (bonus) met some incredible people along the way.

I think I’m back

No Spend day #4

Today’s lovely bit: Right this moment actually. Our dogs follow me all over the house, but not in an annoyingly noticeable way. Just that whenever I’m settled somewhere if I glance around, Daisy is lying on the ground near me and Party is laying as close to me as he thinks I’ll allow. They’re not in the bedroom with my husband, or upstairs with Abe, or watching Bluey in the livingroom with Wren. Nope. They’re surrounding me as I read. Its kind of special. Its lovely.

Okay, also, Out My Window’s comment was really sweet too and kind of also made my day! 🥰
