Time to give this old planter a refresh, and I’m OBSESSED with how this bonsai planter makeover turned out 😍 I grabbed everything I needed from @loweshomeimprovement to create this peaceful, zen-inspired plant moment for my porch

There’s just something about spring gardening and getting your hands in the dirt that feels so therapeutic… even if we are still risking a late frost here in NC 😅🌱 But I couldn’t resist starting just a little early

And of course, little Miss Riley had to supervise (aka approve) the final result 🐱💚

POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list i POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list is longer than your friends list. 🤣

Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth

If you’re living with endometriosis, struggling to get a diagnosis, or supporting someone who is, this would make such a meaningful gift during Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Let’s keep spreading endometriosis awareness, sharing our stories, and demanding better research, better treatments, and better care for the 1 in 10 women living with this disease.

Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if this thing finally catches what’s been going on with my heart. 😅

If you’ve been following along with my little health mystery, you know I’ve been having some pretty scary episodes lately, heart racing, shakiness, and weird symptoms that no one can quite explain yet.

I actually wore a Holter monitor for two weeks back in August, but of course… absolutely nothing happened while I had it on. 🙃 Isn’t that always how it goes?!

So here we are again. Another monitor. Another attempt to catch whatever is going on.

I also had my echocardiogram this morning, so I’m really hoping between that and this monitor we might finally get some answers. Because if not… we’re basically back to square one. 😅

Trying to stay positive and trust the process though. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated as I go since so many of you have been following along and sharing your own experiences too. 🤍

And if you’ve ever had to wear a heart monitor or deal with unexplained heart symptoms, tell me your experience below!

Happy Friday, friends. ✨

How To Get Your Lawn Summer Ready

This post is sponsored by TORO, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

If you’re like me, you are itching for some warm weather and cook out nights! I am definitely in the mood for some summer grilling and entertaining! But, before I do that, we need to make sure we have our yard in perfect shape. So I thought I would share today how to get your lawn summer ready using the amazing TORO products I received.

My husband and I take great pride in our yard and love for it to look it’s best at all times. And with TORO, we can easily do that. And the good news is that you can too!

I’m going to show you just how easy it is to take care and maintain your yard with just a few essential tools. And be sure to keep on reading because there may just be an extra cool summer giveaway for you below!

Stripped Lawn Using TORO Mower

Toro 60V MaxStripe™ Mower

The first essential yard tool you need is The Toro 60V Max Stripe™ Mower. This mower is specifically designed from the ground up to deliver pro-level striping, dual blade mulching, effortless battery power, and up to 65 minutes of runtime!

TORO Battery Operated Lawn Mower

If you want your lawn to be the envy of all the neighbors, the pro-level stripping of the mower creates such a beautiful statement in your yard! This mower is also up to 25% lighter than its competitors.

Mowing Around Cherry Tree

With the dual blade and the rapid charger, you will have your lawn summer ready in no time. It comes with a 60V Max Rapid Charger (5.4 Amp) which charges up to 2.5x faster than the 2 amp charger. This is due to a fan-cooled design that regulates temperature for max charge speed!

Mowing The Lawn

You can even customize the speed you want the mower to go with just the turn of a knob! Another sleek feature is it’s LED headlights as well. This mower also comes with a 2-year limited mower warranty and 3-year limited battery warranty.

Getting The Yard Summer Ready

So as you can see, this mower is really top of the line and will definitely make your yard the talk of the town!

Easy To Maneuver

One of the main reasons why we love this mower is it’s easy of mobility. Y’all know we have our stock tank pool outside in our backyard, and sometimes it can be a pain to mow around.

Mowing Around Tight Areas

But, with this mower, we are easily able to maneuver around that as well as our raised garden beds we have down there as well.

Summer Ready Lawn

We also love the convince of the bag attached to the mower to collect all the mowed grass. No more endless hours of raking after mowing!

Emptying The Grass
Emptying Grass Out

All you need to do is empty out the bag when it’s full and get back to mowing. How easy is that?!

TORO Leaf Blower

Another way we make our lawn summer ready is with the TORO leaf blower as well. My husband always likes to blow off our driveway after mowing. Especially since it is concrete and you can easily see the mowed grass over it.

After Using The Leaf Blower
And after using the leaf blower!

And the amazing thing is that the 60V Max Battery Flex-Force Power System® runs an entire universe of Toro tools! 75+ and counting! So that means you can interchange the battery from the mower to the leaf blower as well! How cool is that?!

    Your lawn looks incredible; what an amazing space to have, it’s wonderful. I live in an apartment complex and we have some lovely, large lawn areas but (obviously) I don’t have to take care of them. If I did, I would want something like the mower you used as it seems fairly easy to get to grips with (previous ones I have used over the years have always been a bit intimidating). Great post!

Time to give this old planter a refresh, and I’m OBSESSED with how this bonsai planter makeover turned out 😍 I grabbed everything I needed from @loweshomeimprovement to create this peaceful, zen-inspired plant moment for my porch

There’s just something about spring gardening and getting your hands in the dirt that feels so therapeutic… even if we are still risking a late frost here in NC 😅🌱 But I couldn’t resist starting just a little early

And of course, little Miss Riley had to supervise (aka approve) the final result 🐱💚

If you’re ready to refresh your planters, start your spring garden, or create your own tranquil bonsai setup, this is your sign ✨

Excuse me @loweshomeimprovement… did you make thes Excuse me @loweshomeimprovement… did you make these cat succulent planters just for me?! 😻 Because the SECOND I saw them, they went straight into my cart 🛒

If you’re a fellow cat lover + plant lover, you already know this was a non-negotiable purchase 💚 These adorable cat planters are the cutest way to decorate your porch, shelf, or plant corner, especially if your cats basically run the house like mine do 😹

My only regret? Not grabbing all 3 colors!! And of course I had to style them on our screened-in porch… aka my cats’ favorite hangout spot ☀️

POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list i POV: You’re chronically ill and your doctor list is longer than your friends list. 🤣

Between regular appointments with my PCP, referrals to specialists, booking consults with surgeons, seeing multiple OB-GYNs, cardiology appointments, and all the follow-ups in between… my calendar is basically just doctor visits at this point.

Living with a chronic illness like endometriosis means constantly advocating for yourself, seeing new specialists, running tests, and hoping someone finally has answers. It’s exhausting, expensive, and honestly overwhelming sometimes.

I keep wondering… will there ever be a month where I don’t have multiple medical appointments? Or is this just the reality of living with chronic illness? 😆

If you’re also navigating chronic illness, specialist appointments, and endless doctor visits, just know you’re not alone in this. 💛

Did you know yellow is the official color for Endo Did you know yellow is the official color for Endometriosis Awareness Month? 💛

Which is ironic because I honestly hate the color yellow… but I hate endometriosis even more. 🤣 So this month I’m wearing yellow nails for the cause.

And honestly, it’s a great conversation starter. If someone asks about my nails, I get to tell them about endometriosis awareness and why it matters. Because the more we talk about this disease, the more people start to understand it.

It still blows my mind that 1 in 10 women suffer from endometriosis, yet so many of us struggle for years to get diagnosed, treated, or even taken seriously. Women dealing with chronic pain deserve answers, research, treatment, and funding.

So if wearing yellow nails helps start even one conversation about endometriosis symptoms and women’s health, I’m all for it. 💛

I may be one small voice on the internet, but I’ll keep talking about endometriosis this month and every month after, because this disease affects my life every single day.

If you’re an Endo Warrior, just know you’re not alone. 💛 #endometriosis #endowarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisawareness #endometriosiswarrior
I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off I finally got to take my Holter heart monitor off this morning… and let me tell you, I will NOT miss this thing 😅 But now I’m left with this itchy red mark as a little souvenir.

This was my second round wearing a Holter monitor, because the first time everything came back “normal.” And if you’ve been following my health journey, you know what I’m dealing with is definitely not normal.

Between the shakiness, heart episodes, and living with endometriosis, something is clearly going on. I don’t know yet if it’s POTS, endometriosis related, or something else entirely, but I’m desperate for answers at this point.

The hardest part? Being told over and over that “your labs look normal.” Meanwhile it’s affecting my job, my daily life, and my quality of life. Why do so many women have to fight to be taken seriously in healthcare?

The good news is I actually had another episode on Wednesday while wearing the monitor, so I’m really hoping it finally caught something.

Praying this round wasn’t for nothing and that I can finally get some real answers and a diagnosis soon. 💛 #holtermonitor #pots #potssyndrome #endometriosis #endometriosisawarenessmonth

March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you March is Endometriosis Awareness Month… and if you’ve been following along lately, you know why I won’t stop talking about it.

This disease is honestly turning my life upside down right now. The pain, the fatigue, the constant fight to be taken seriously, it’s exhausting. But if sharing my story helps even one woman realize she’s not alone, it’s worth it.

When I saw this Endo Warrior sweatshirt, I knew I had to have it. Because every single woman fighting this disease is exactly that… a warrior. 💛

If you’re living with endometriosis, struggling to get a diagnosis, or supporting someone who is, this would make such a meaningful gift during Endometriosis Awareness Month.

Let’s keep spreading endometriosis awareness, sharing our stories, and demanding better research, better treatments, and better care for the 1 in 10 women living with this disease.

Because we deserve answers. And we deserve relief. 💛

Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if Round 2 of the Holter heart monitor… let’s see if this thing finally catches what’s been going on with my heart. 😅

If you’ve been following along with my little health mystery, you know I’ve been having some pretty scary episodes lately, heart racing, shakiness, and weird symptoms that no one can quite explain yet.

I actually wore a Holter monitor for two weeks back in August, but of course… absolutely nothing happened while I had it on. 🙃 Isn’t that always how it goes?!

So here we are again. Another monitor. Another attempt to catch whatever is going on.

I also had my echocardiogram this morning, so I’m really hoping between that and this monitor we might finally get some answers. Because if not… we’re basically back to square one. 😅

Trying to stay positive and trust the process though. I’ll definitely keep y’all updated as I go since so many of you have been following along and sharing your own experiences too. 🤍

And if you’ve ever had to wear a heart monitor or deal with unexplained heart symptoms, tell me your experience below!

Happy Friday, friends. ✨
