Flower Lovin’ Friends! Spring gardening is offici Flower Lovin’ Friends! 
Spring gardening is officially underway 🌸 and this past weekend turned into the best little dose of gardening therapy I didn’t know I needed 💚 With everything going on lately, getting outside, planting flowers, and soaking up that sunshine was exactly what my mind needed.

We may have gotten a little too confident with those 85° temps though… because just days later, the cold snap hit hard 🙄 (tell me why spring weather is like this??). But somehow, my flowers are still thriving 🌼✨

My garden seedlings on the other hand… not so much 🥲 BUT my sweet peppers are holding on strong and currently the real MVPs of the garden 🌱👏

Gardening is definitely a learning process, especially with unpredictable spring weather, but I’m not giving up, just replanting and trying again (and maybe checking the forecast a little better next time 😂)

If you’re starting your spring garden, let this be your reminder: be patient, expect a few setbacks, and celebrate the little wins 🌿💛

I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surge I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surgery appointment at UNC 🤍

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness
If you’re tired of asking “what’s for dinner?” eve If you’re tired of asking “what’s for dinner?” every night… this is your sign to try Blue Apron 👀🍽️

I’m an extremely hot sleeper, so I can never do thick comforters or duvets, so this quilt set is right up my alley! I also got a couple of sets of their buttery soft sheets as well.

Spring break really said “blink and it’s over” 😭🌅 Spring break really said “blink and it’s over” 😭🌅

Just like this sunset… my vacation is DONE and I’m emotionally unwell about it 😩 Please respect my privacy as I transition from beach mode to work mode 🦷✋

I love coming home (hi to my cats 😻💛), but WHY do we have to go straight back to work?! Like where are the recovery days?? I need a staycation after my vacation ASAP 🤣

Anyone else feel personally attacked by how fast trips go?! ✈️ #postvacationblues #postvacation #backtoreality #backtothegrind #springbreakover
Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST wa Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST way to end a trip to Hilton Head Island 🌅🐚✨

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

This experience was the perfect send-off to our trip and honestly one of the best things to do in Hilton Head! If you’re planning a visit, add a sunset boat tour + shell island adventure to your itinerary ASAP 🙌

Already counting down the days until we’re back 💛 #sunsetcruise #beachsunset #tikibar #tikiboat #tikibars
POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton Head Island ⛵️✨

Yesterday we went on our very first sailboat with @islandheadsailing and it was seriously one of the most fun experiences we’ve had on the island! Even though it was freezing (I was fighting for my life on the way back 🥶🤣), the views of the water were absolutely unreal.

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

If you’re planning a trip here and looking for unique things to do, add this to your list ASAP 🙌🏻 #sailing #hiltonhead #sailboatlife #sailboating #sailboatlove
If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Hea If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Head Island, RUN to Java Burrito Company 🌯🔥

We ate here yesterday and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burrito I’ve ever had. I ordered the steak burrito (10/10), and don’t even get me started on the chips + queso… I could’ve eaten 5 baskets 🤣

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

Save this for your next Hilton Head trip 👇 #hiltonheadfood #hiltonheadfoodie #hiltonheadeats #javaburrito #hiltonhead
One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton Head Island is The Salty Dog Cafe 🌴🐾 It’s one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants on the island, and for good reason!

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head or a must-try waterfront dining spot, add this to your list ASAP!

Have you ever been to The Salty Dog Cafe?! 👇#thesaltydog #thesaltydogcafe #hiltonheadeats #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland
Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO wh Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO when you’re visiting! We toured the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and the views were absolutely unreal—360° panoramic views of the marina, island, and coastline for just $7.50 🙌 Totally worth it!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

Save this for your trip because Harbour Town is one of the best things to do in Hilton Head Island 🌴✨ #harbourtown #harbourtownlighthouse #lighthouse #hiltonhead #thingstodoinhiltonhead
We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead

We squeezed in a spontaneous trip after an epic night at an Eric Church concert and before heading to Hilton Head Island… and honestly, it was SO worth it.

From strolling the historic downtown streets to shopping, eating, and soaking in all the southern charm, Savannah is seriously picture-perfect. We explored the iconic Riverwalk, admired the architecture, and of course had to stop by the stunning @jwmarriottsavannah Plant Riverside District to check out the fossils, geodes, and one-of-a-kind lobby 😍

We stayed at @thedraytonhotel which was the PERFECT location for walking everywhere (highly recommend if you’re planning a Savannah trip 👀), and wrapped up the night with dinner at @circa1875savannah 🤌✨

Hot take: we had the BEST time, but as die-hard Charleston lovers… Charleston still has our hearts 💛

Now it’s time to unwind and recharge in Hilton Head 🌊☀️

You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s tim You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s time to water them 😅🌿

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

How To Style A Fall Tablescape

If you know me then you know I love to style a good table for every season! So that’s why I thought I would share with you all my Fall Tablescape that I did this year.

It’s completely different than any other tablescapes that I have shared with you all in the past. I usually have my dough bowl as my centerpiece for tablescapes, but this year since I moved it to the entryway table, I needed a new idea for my fall table.

I am so happy with how it turned out and the best part is, it didn’t cost me much money at all!

This post contains affiliate links. Click here to read my disclosure policy.

Fall Tablescape
Shop My Look Below:

Finding Thrifted Pieces For Your Fall Tablescape

The reason why my tablescape didn’t cost me much money this year, is that I was able to find a majority of the items I used for it from thrift stores and flea markets!

That’s my biggest tip to you all is to try to find what you can at secondhand stores! It will definitely save you some money and usually you can find some pieces that would cost double or triple that amount at an antique store.

Close Up of Amber Bottles and Candlesticks

My main goal was to find some vintage amber bottles/jugs for my fall tablescape this year. And I am happy to report that I found some at one of my favorite flea markets down in Tennessee!

They were literally so cheap too. Just a few dollars for each bottle and they were all a great size as well! I just think that anything amber colored screams fall and coziness to me.

Gathering Up Your Pieces For Your Table

Another tip I have for you to save some money when styling is to search your own home first. You never know, you could find something that you forgot about, or realize you have enough of something and you don’t actually need to order any more.

That happened to me this year. I knew I had a few mini white pumpkins, but I didn’t think I had enough for my fall tablescape. But after looking through all my fall bins, I realized I did.

Fall Tablescape

So I had my amber bottles, white pumpkins, and I also found a few faux pinecones from last year as well. I thought these would tie in perfectly with the theme I was going for this year.

Plus, you could always go outside and find some pinecones if you needed more as well. Another great money saving hack!

Then, I still had my brass candlesticks from my winter tablescape and I thought those would go well with all the other decor I had already too.

Styling Your Fall Tablescape

After you have all your pieces gathered, now it’s time for the fun part- styling! I usually keep all my dishes and place settings the same for my tablescapes, so that part was already styled for me.

In case you missed it from my previous posts, my vintage ironstone dishes were also found at a thrift store too for a super cheap price!

Also, my burlap table runner is leftover wedding decor, so I always love to use that since it’s both cute and sentimental as well.

Fall Table

I started off by placing the bigger amber bottle in the center of the table and alternating it between brass candlesticks as well.

I had 3 amber bottles and 3 brass candlesticks, so it worked out nicely. Then all around them, I placed a mixture of white pumpkins and pinecones to fill out the table.

I also placed my two white leaf plates on the end of each side to finish it up (You can see more about these leaf plates from my Easy Fall Decor Refresh Project).

Refreshed Fall Plates
Here’s a closer view of the leaf plates I refreshed.

Conclusion

All in all, this was a pretty easy tablescape to style and I love how it turned out. I also love how I didn’t have to spend much money to achieve this look.

It is the perfect neutral fall tablescape don’t you agree?! Do you like to style your tables for fall as well? Let me know below!

Spring gardening is officially underway 🌸 and this past weekend turned into the best little dose of gardening therapy I didn’t know I needed 💚 With everything going on lately, getting outside, planting flowers, and soaking up that sunshine was exactly what my mind needed.

We may have gotten a little too confident with those 85° temps though… because just days later, the cold snap hit hard 🙄 (tell me why spring weather is like this??). But somehow, my flowers are still thriving 🌼✨

My garden seedlings on the other hand… not so much 🥲 BUT my sweet peppers are holding on strong and currently the real MVPs of the garden 🌱👏

Gardening is definitely a learning process, especially with unpredictable spring weather, but I’m not giving up, just replanting and trying again (and maybe checking the forecast a little better next time 😂)

If you’re starting your spring garden, let this be your reminder: be patient, expect a few setbacks, and celebrate the little wins 🌿💛

I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surge I wanted to give you all an update on my pre-surgery appointment at UNC 🤍

If I’m being honest… I woke up feeling really heavy today. Not because the appointment went badly, it actually went so well. The doctors were incredibly kind, compassionate, and for the first time, I truly felt seen, heard, and validated in my pain. I could’ve cried happy tears.

But after going over all my symptoms, they told me something that honestly shook me, but didn’t surprise me because this is what I feared all along. There’s a strong possibility my endometriosis has spread to my bowels.

And that’s where the emotions hit.

I’m angry.
Angry that I had to drive 3.5 hours just to receive proper care.
Angry that when I first brought up these symptoms, I was dismissed and told it was “rare.”
Angry that I lost months trying to find someone who would actually listen.
Angry that I wasn’t fully informed after my last surgery, that I didn’t even know endometriosis could spread to organs like the bladder… or beyond.

I had to fight for my own medical records.
I had to advocate for myself every step of the way.
And that shouldn’t be the reality for women’s healthcare.

So here’s where things stand: my surgery is scheduled for the 29th. During surgery, they’ll check my bowels. If the endometriosis is superficial, they can shave it off then. But if it’s deeper, I may need a second, more serious surgery with a colorectal specialist.

And yes… that possibility is scary. Because with that kind of surgery, you could end up with a colostomy bag which is my worst nightmare. 

But I’m also proud of myself for trusting my body and refusing to stay silent.

Endometriosis is not “just a bad period.”
It’s a full-body disease.
And more women need to know that.

I’m sharing this because I never want another woman to feel dismissed, unheard, or alone in this. Please listen to your body. Advocate for yourself. Keep pushing until someone listens.

Right now, I’m choosing faith over fear and trusting God that I’m in the right hands 🙏🏼 

Thank you all so much for your constant love, prayers, and support. It truly means everything to me! 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawareness
If you’re tired of asking “what’s for dinner?” eve If you’re tired of asking “what’s for dinner?” every night… this is your sign to try Blue Apron 👀🍽️

I am loving my new bedding I got in from @linensan I am loving my new bedding I got in from @linensandhutch 🙌🏻 I got the Eucalyptus quilt set and not only do I love the color, but the weight of the quilt is just perfect for me. I’m an extremely hot sleeper, so I can never do thick comforters or duvets, so this quilt set is right up my alley! I also got a couple of sets of their buttery soft sheets as well. And I have slept so good in them the past few days! If you’re needing new bedding too, be sure to check out Linens & Hutch and use my coupon code “CHARITY50” as well!

Spring break really said “blink and it’s over” 😭🌅 Spring break really said “blink and it’s over” 😭🌅

Just like this sunset… my vacation is DONE and I’m emotionally unwell about it 😩 Please respect my privacy as I transition from beach mode to work mode 🦷✋

I love coming home (hi to my cats 😻💛), but WHY do we have to go straight back to work?! Like where are the recovery days?? I need a staycation after my vacation ASAP 🤣

Anyone else feel personally attacked by how fast trips go?! ✈️ #postvacationblues #postvacation #backtoreality #backtothegrind #springbreakover
Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST wa Sunset cruises + shark tooth hunting = the BEST way to end a trip to Hilton Head Island 🌅🐚✨

Our last night in Hilton Head Island, South Carolina was unforgettable thanks to @nativesonadventures! We hopped on their sunset cruise and made a stop at the famous shell island to search for shark teeth (no luck this time 😅), but WOW… the shells were absolutely unreal. I’ve never seen so many beautiful ones in one place!

We also cruised past the rumored Luke Bryan Hilton Head house, and yes… it’s just as incredible as you’d imagine 👀🏡

This experience was the perfect send-off to our trip and honestly one of the best things to do in Hilton Head! If you’re planning a visit, add a sunset boat tour + shell island adventure to your itinerary ASAP 🙌

Already counting down the days until we’re back 💛 #sunsetcruise #beachsunset #tikibar #tikiboat #tikibars
POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton POV: you just found the best thing to do in Hilton Head Island ⛵️✨

Yesterday we went on our very first sailboat with @islandheadsailing and it was seriously one of the most fun experiences we’ve had on the island! Even though it was freezing (I was fighting for my life on the way back 🥶🤣), the views of the water were absolutely unreal.

We booked their Hilton Head brunch sail, and it came with the cutest spread of brunch goodies to enjoy while cruising, 10/10 recommend. Between the ocean breeze, peaceful vibes, and stunning scenery, this is hands down a must-do in Hilton Head Island.

If you’re planning a trip here and looking for unique things to do, add this to your list ASAP 🙌🏻 #sailing #hiltonhead #sailboatlife #sailboating #sailboatlove
If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Hea If you’re looking for the best lunch in Hilton Head Island, RUN to Java Burrito Company 🌯🔥

We ate here yesterday and I’m not exaggerating when I say it might be the best burrito I’ve ever had. I ordered the steak burrito (10/10), and don’t even get me started on the chips + queso… I could’ve eaten 5 baskets 🤣

Everything is super fresh, and you can fully customize your burrito, bowl, tacos, or quesadilla exactly how you want. PLUS they have a full coffee bar, so it’s also one of the best breakfast spots on Hilton Head too ☕️

Yes, there might be a wait… but trust me, it’s 100% worth it.

Save this for your next Hilton Head trip 👇 #hiltonheadfood #hiltonheadfoodie #hiltonheadeats #javaburrito #hiltonhead
One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton One place you absolutely HAVE to eat at in Hilton Head Island is The Salty Dog Cafe 🌴🐾 It’s one of the most iconic waterfront restaurants on the island, and for good reason!

We biked over for lunch one day (highly recommend doing this if you’re exploring Hilton Head by bike 🚲), and it ended up being our favorite meal of the trip. The seafood was incredible, I got the crab legs and they were SO good, but honestly the entire menu looked amazing 🤤

Between the stunning marina views, laid-back coastal vibes, and all the fun gift shops (yes, we grabbed way too much merch 😂), this spot is such a fun experience from start to finish.

If you’re looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head or a must-try waterfront dining spot, add this to your list ASAP!

Have you ever been to The Salty Dog Cafe?! 👇#thesaltydog #thesaltydogcafe #hiltonheadeats #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland
Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO wh Harbour Town in Hilton Head Island is a MUST-DO when you’re visiting! We toured the iconic Harbour Town Lighthouse and the views were absolutely unreal—360° panoramic views of the marina, island, and coastline for just $7.50 🙌 Totally worth it!

Afterward, we explored all the cute shops, waterfront restaurants, and watched the massive yachts roll in (honestly could do that all day 😍). If you’re a golf fan, you’ll love that RBC Heritage is right around the corner—we even caught them setting up for it!

Save this for your trip because Harbour Town is one of the best things to do in Hilton Head Island 🌴✨ #harbourtown #harbourtownlighthouse #lighthouse #hiltonhead #thingstodoinhiltonhead
We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton We had the best Easter dinner at Benny’s in Hilton Head this past weekend, and I’m still thinking about it 🤤 It was our very first night on the island, and this spot completely set the tone for the trip!

The atmosphere? Absolutely beautiful. Coastal, cozy, and the perfect vibe for a special night out ✨

We started with the hushpuppies and skillet shrimp, and let me tell you… that sauce was SO good I could’ve drank it 😂

For dinner, I had the seared mahi mahi and my husband ordered the swordfish, both were insanely fresh and full of flavor 🙌

And don’t even get me started on dessert… the key lime cheesecake with toasted meringue?? UNREAL 🤤🍰

If you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head Island or looking for the best restaurants in Hilton Head, you have to add Benny’s to your list! #hiltonheadislandsc #hiltonhead #hiltonheadisland #hiltonheadrestaurants #explorehiltonhead
Come explore Savannah with us in under 24 hours! 😂 Come explore Savannah with us in under 24 hours! 😂✨ The ultimate quick weekend getaway packed with charm, history, and the cutest downtown vibes.

We squeezed in a spontaneous trip after an epic night at an Eric Church concert and before heading to Hilton Head Island… and honestly, it was SO worth it.

From strolling the historic downtown streets to shopping, eating, and soaking in all the southern charm, Savannah is seriously picture-perfect. We explored the iconic Riverwalk, admired the architecture, and of course had to stop by the stunning @jwmarriottsavannah Plant Riverside District to check out the fossils, geodes, and one-of-a-kind lobby 😍

We stayed at @thedraytonhotel which was the PERFECT location for walking everywhere (highly recommend if you’re planning a Savannah trip 👀), and wrapped up the night with dinner at @circa1875savannah 🤌✨

Hot take: we had the BEST time, but as die-hard Charleston lovers… Charleston still has our hearts 💛

Now it’s time to unwind and recharge in Hilton Head 🌊☀️

You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s tim You’re obsessed with hanging ferns… until it’s time to water them 😅🌿

These realistic faux hanging ferns just saved my porch decor AND my energy levels 🙌 I found them at @loweshomeimprovement and I’m officially converted, they look so real without the daily watering, mess, or stress.

As someone with limited energy, switching from real plants to low-maintenance artificial greenery has been a game changer. My porch still feels lush, cozy, and Pinterest-worthy… just without the upkeep 💚

Now I’m curious, are you team real plants 🌱 or team faux plants 🌿?!

Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March doe Endometriosis awareness doesn’t end when March does. 💛

For me (and millions of women) this is a daily battle, not just a “month.” Chronic pain, endless doctor visits, tests, and constantly fighting just to be heard… it’s exhausting, and it’s real.

This month has been especially hard. So many appointments, so many unknowns, and the emotional toll of advocating for your own health over and over again. Women’s pain deserves to be taken seriously the first time, not after we’ve fought to prove it.

I’ll keep using my voice, no matter how small this platform may feel, to raise awareness for endometriosis, chronic illness, and the realities of women’s healthcare. Because change only happens when we keep speaking up.

April brings a new chapter for me- my surgery is finally coming, and I’m holding onto hope that relief is on the other side. 🤍

But please remember: just because Endometriosis Awareness Month is over doesn’t mean this disease disappears. It affects millions of women every single day.

Let’s keep the conversation going. Let’s keep advocating. And let’s keep fighting for better care. 💛 #endometriosis #endometriosissupport #endometriosiswarrior #endometriosisawarenessmonth #endometriosisfighter

Now that the weather is warming up, the kitties are living their best life on our screened-in porch: sunbathing, relaxing, and apparently redecorating too. Toby’s been busy “customizing” the furniture, but honestly… I think it adds character 🤣

My husband has officially entered his ✨ChatGPT era✨ but instead of using it for work or research, he’s out here editing our cats’ photos like a full-time meme creator 🤣 And honestly? I’m not mad about it. The results are hilarious, way too good, and guaranteed to make my day every single time.

So of course I had to share these edited cat pics with y’all because they’re too funny to keep to myself 😻

Tell me I’m not alone… does anyone else use AI or ChatGPT to edit their pet photos?! 😂👇 #chatgpt4 #chatgptprompts #funnycatvideos #funnycatpics #funnycatsofinstagram

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 ✨
