POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

Since my first baby, Toby, officially turned 10 ye Since my first baby, Toby, officially turned 10 years old last month, I knew I had to spoil him with something extra special. 🥹🐈 And let me tell you… this heated therapeutic cat bed has been the biggest hit!

It features multiple heat settings to keep older cats cozy, plus a gentle massage feature that’s perfect for helping senior cats relax after a long day of… well… napping. 😹 Safe to say Toby is obsessed!

Of course, little Miss Riley immediately decided she deserved a turn too. 😂 Apparently this cozy cat bed is approved by cats of all ages!

If you’re looking for the best cat bed for senior cats, or just want to spoil your furry best friend, I highly recommend this one.

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I’ve decided to start an Onl 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Have you ever had to fight to get a doctor to truly listen to you? I’d love to hear your story in the comments. 👇

Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴

Creating an Easter Tablescape

So if you have been around here long enough, then you know I love to create seasonal tablescapes, and Easter is no exception! If you want to learn how to create an easter tablescape, then this post is for you!

Even though it looks like we will still be in self isolation by then too. But no worries, if I am stuck at home, I still want my table to be pretty and decorated!

Plus, I already had my table all decked out for Easter before this coronavirus outbreak! So I figured I would share with you all just how I created my Easter tablescape and that way if you want to style one too, it can give you some inspiration!

Full View of my Easter Tablescape
Here is a full view of how my Easter Tablescape looks this year! Click the link below for my dining room table and chairs!

Use What You Already Have On Hand

If you remember from my previous Vintage Valentines Day tablescape, I created a dough bowl full of greenery and brass candlesticks.

Well, to make things even easier with my Easter tablescape, I kept that all the same! I still love the look of it and I think the garland I have in there is still perfect for Spring and Easter.

I also kept the cute little ironstone teacups I had in the middle of the place settings for my Valentine’s Day table too.

But for my Easter tablescape, I moved them to the side so you could see my adorable Rae Dunn egg shaped plates. I mean those are way too cute to be covered up, right?!

Rae Dunn Egg Plate for Easter Tablescape
Here you can see my cute egg plates and the ironstone teacups to the side of the place setting!

Add New, Inexpensive Touches

You guys have heard me say it before, but switching up the napkins is such an easy, cost effective way to create a whole new table setting.

I used these blue and white striped napkins and I love how bright and cheerful they make my table appear. And I actually already had these napkins from last Easter too so I didn’t have to spend any money!

On the sides of my dough bowl I added these cute chippy white birdhouses that I found from the Target dollar spot a few years ago.

I thought they added the perfect touch of Spring and helped fill in that open space between the dough bowl and the place setting.

Chippy White Birdhouse on Easter Tablescape
Look at that cute chippy white birdhouse- perfect for spring!

So really, that’s all I did to create my Easter tablescape this year. Super easy and simple and I kept the majority of it the same so it was so easy to switch out and make it new and fresh again.

What do you guys think? Let me know below and I would love to know if you set up a special table for Easter too!

    I always enjoy seeing your table settings because they are so pretty. I like the way you place your cloth napkins. I never really feel like mine look right with the napkin ring on and then they are bulky and hard to place. I’m going to try it the way you did it. Also, I don’t know why I didn’t ever think to use teacups instead of wine glasses?!? (Maybe because I have SOO many wine glasses.) This idea opens up some new possibilities for me. Thank you so much!

    Looking at your lovely table perked me up! Thank you.

POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… POV: You spend months growing a vegetable garden… just to realize you’re actually gardening for the neighborhood deer. 😂🌱🦌

Apparently they decided to leave me exactly 4 cherry tomatoes and half a cucumber today. How thoughtful. 🤣

But wait until the end because you’ll see the sweetest little baby deer… and honestly, how am I supposed to stay mad after that?! 🥹❤️ They can have all the cherry tomatoes they want.

The only sad part? I haven’t harvested a single heirloom tomato this year because the deer keep eating them before they’re ripe enough to pick. 😅 I guess my garden has officially become a wildlife buffet.

Tell me I’m not the only one… What keeps eating your garden? Deer, squirrels, rabbits, or something else? ⬇️

It features multiple heat settings to keep older cats cozy, plus a gentle massage feature that’s perfect for helping senior cats relax after a long day of… well… napping. 😹 Safe to say Toby is obsessed!

Of course, little Miss Riley immediately decided she deserved a turn too. 😂 Apparently this cozy cat bed is approved by cats of all ages!

If you’re looking for the best cat bed for senior cats, or just want to spoil your furry best friend, I highly recommend this one.

If you’ve been following my chronic illness journe If you’ve been following my chronic illness journey for a while, you already know how many doctors, specialists, tests, and appointments I’ve been through. Time after time, I was told I was “fine,” “everything looks normal,” or that it was “just anxiety.”

But after my appointment with @carolina_functional_neurology, I finally felt heard.

They agreed that what I’ve been experiencing is not normal. They believe I have POTS, and they also think there could be other neurological issues that need to be investigated. After years of questioning myself because of medical gaslighting, hearing a doctor validate my symptoms was something I’ll never forget.

At this point, I don’t think one Netflix documentary would be enough to cover this whole journey. 🤣

The saddest part? I know so many of you have messaged me saying you’ve experienced the exact same thing. It’s heartbreaking how common medical gaslighting has become, especially for people living with chronic illness or invisible illnesses.

So if you’re still searching for answers, this is your reminder: don’t stop advocating for yourself. Keep asking questions. Keep pushing for second opinions. Keep fighting for the care you deserve.

You know your body better than anyone else.

And if you’ve been medically gaslit too, I want you to know you’re not alone. ❤️

🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨 I’ve decided to start an Onl 🚨 BIG ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

I’ve decided to start an OnlyPaws account so I can finally quit my job and become a full-time stay-at-home cat mom. 😹

I mean, who wouldn’t pay premium content prices to see adorable cat toe beans, fluffy paws, and exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of two spoiled indoor cats living their best lives? 🐾😂

The stars of this business venture, Toby and Riley, have fully consented to the arrangement (by accepting treats), and they strongly support me staying home so I can dedicate more time to serving their every need. 😜

Honestly, with content this cute, retirement might be closer than I thought. 🤣

Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍 We drove t Yesterday felt like a turning point. 🤍

We drove to Charlotte to see a functional neurologist, and for the first time in a long time, I left an appointment feeling heard instead of dismissed.

After listening to everything I’ve been experiencing and putting me through what they jokingly called the “Brain Olympics” 😂 (seriously…SO many neurological tests), they agreed that my symptoms are not normal. They also agree that I likely have POTS, which honestly brought so much validation after everything I’ve been through.

The testing also showed signs that something may be going on with my cerebellum that’s causing my autonomic nervous system to misfire. Because of that, they want me to get a brain MRI to investigate further, including looking for things like Chiari malformation. They’re also ordering additional bloodwork and testing for celiac disease to make sure nothing else is contributing to everything I’ve been experiencing.

Am I nervous? Absolutely.

But for the first time in a very long time, I also feel hopeful.

I know none of these are answers yet, but having a doctor who believes me, listens, and is committed to figuring this out means more than I can explain. After years of wondering if I was just imagining things or being told my tests were “normal,” that validation alone feels like a huge win.

Thank you to everyone who has checked on me, prayed for me, encouraged me, and shared your own experiences. Your support has helped me keep pushing for answers when it would’ve been easier to give up.

I’m taking this journey one step at a time, and I’ll continue to keep you all updated. ❤️

Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the secon Anyone else flip the switch to fall mode the second the Fourth of July is over? 🍂😂

Don’t get me wrong, I still love summer, pool days, and sunshine. But there’s just something about fall that has my heart. The cozy vibes, cooler weather, pumpkin everything, fall candles, football Saturdays, and not melting the second you step outside? Yes, please! 🤎🍁

Don’t worry… I’m not decorating for fall just yet (I’m trying to be patient 😅), but that doesn’t stop me from dreaming about all the fall decor, cozy nights, and crisp autumn days ahead!

Now I have to know… are you Team Fall 🍂 or Team Summer ☀️? Let the debate begin!

POV: The perfect Fourth of July doesn’t have to be POV: The perfect Fourth of July doesn’t have to be extravagant. 🇺🇸

I hope y’all had the best Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙 We had the sweetest, low-key Independence Day celebrating at home, and honestly… it was one of my favorite holidays yet.

We spent the afternoon relaxing by the pool, then my hubby smoked his famous ribeyes for a delicious family dinner. 🥩(comment “Recipe” below if you want me to send it your way! 😉) After that, we hopped on the golf cart and drove around until we found the perfect spot to watch the Fourth of July fireworks near our house. 🎆

Getting to enjoy an incredible meal, beautiful fireworks, and all the patriotic fun without fighting the big crowds? I’d call that a total win! 🙌🏻 There’s just something so special about simple summer nights spent with the people you love.

Now I have to know… did you stay home this year or go out to celebrate? 🇺🇸❤️

It looks like it’s going to be a beautiful (and VERY hot 🥵) Fourth of July, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. This year we’re keeping things simple with a low-key Independence Day celebration at home, and honestly… it’s exactly what we needed.

We’ll be spending the day relaxing by the pool before my hubby fires up the smoker for his famous ribeyes. Nothing beats a classic 4th of July cookout with good food, sunshine, and the people you love. 🇺🇸🥩☀️

As much as we love traveling for the holiday, sometimes staying home reminds you that the simple moments are the best ones.

What are your Fourth of July plans this year? Are you grilling, watching fireworks, heading to the lake, or just relaxing at home? Tell me below! 🎆

Wishing you all a safe, happy, and memorable Independence Day as we celebrate 250 years of America. God bless America! ❤️🤍💙🇺🇸

Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntr Little Miss Riley turns into a fierce little huntress every time she spots a bird outside! 😹🐦 The second she sees one from our screened-in porch, the cat chirping begins and it cracks me up every single time.

She acts like she’s ready to take on the entire bird population, but let’s be honest… this indoor cat has never hunted anything a day in her life. 😂 Somehow that screened-in porch makes her feel all big and bad!

As a cat mom, I love watching all the funny cat behaviors that come out when Toby and Riley start bird watching. Those adorable chirps, chattering noises, and intense stares are seriously the cutest thing ever. 🐾

Do your cats make that funny chirping sound when they see birds, squirrels, or other animals outside? Tell me I’m not the only one with a tiny feather-obsessed hunter living in my house! 😹👇

I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, I know the beach isn’t everyone’s favorite place, but for me, there’s something incredibly healing about sitting by the ocean and listening to the waves roll in. 🌊

Living with chronic illness can feel overwhelming at times, and stress has a way of piling up faster than we realize. But the moment I sink my toes into the sand, breathe in the salty air, and watch the endless horizon, everything seems a little lighter.

A beach day isn’t just a vacation, it’s a reset for my mind, body, and soul. Whether it’s a quick walk along the shore or hours spent listening to the waves, the ocean always reminds me to slow down, breathe, and be present.

Anyone else feel like the beach is the ultimate stress relief? 🩵🌴
