POV: being on surgery recovery leave for a month t POV: being on surgery recovery leave for a month turned me into a full-time homebody 🤣

Honestly, staying home healing after surgery has taught me one thing… I never want to leave my house again 😂 Being cozy at home with my cats, resting, binge watching shows, and avoiding the outside world has been absolutely glorious. I truly understand the “stay at home cat mom” lifestyle now lol.

At this point, I have everything I need right here at home. Peace, comfy clothes, snacks, my pets, and zero social obligations 🤣 Meanwhile, every time I actually leave the house, I come back completely exhausted.

So the fact that I have to go back to work today after a month of recovery is honestly going to be SUCH a rough adjustment 😅 I’m not mentally prepared to rejoin society yet lol. Anyone else secretly love being home way too much?!

Honestly, I’ve been struggling with the thought of Honestly, I’ve been struggling with the thought of going back to work while still recovering from surgery. Between the physical healing and the emotional side of post-surgery recovery, I’ve been feeling pretty down lately. So this comedy date night ended up being exactly what I needed.

We bought tickets to see @johnbcrist months ago, long before I had any idea I’d be spending a month on surgery leave. Turns out the timing couldn’t have been more perfect. This was our third time seeing him live, and he absolutely delivered. I laughed so hard that for a couple of hours, I completely forgot about returning to work, ongoing recovery, and all the stress waiting for me next week. 🤣

Before the show, we had dinner at @redgingerasianbistro and finished the night with dessert at @timesbarandcoffee which made the whole evening even better. Good food, lots of laughs, and quality time with my husband was exactly the distraction I needed.

Sometimes healing isn’t just about physical recovery. Sometimes it’s about finding little moments that remind you how good it feels to laugh again. ❤️ 

Have you ever had a random night out come at exactly the right time? #johncrist #johncristcomedy #comedyshow #datenightideas #asheville
Not me having to put on my sunglasses every time I Not me having to put on my sunglasses every time I have to chop onions because my eyes tear up so bad… 🤣

Ever since I had LASIK surgery a few years ago, chopping onions has been brutal on my eyes. I’m talking instant tears the second I start cutting them 😂 Apparently my eyes became extra sensitive afterward, and honestly it’s been a struggle ever since.

But then I heard about the “wear sunglasses while chopping onions” hack and y’all… why does it actually work?! 😅 So now anytime my hubby isn’t home to take over onion duty, you can catch me in the kitchen wearing sunglasses indoors looking ridiculous but tear-free 😎 

If you’ve ever wondered how to stop crying while cutting onions, consider this your sign to try the sunglasses trick! It may look silly, but it seriously helps block those onion fumes from hitting your eyes 👏

Now I need to know… does anyone else have weird kitchen hacks like this? 😂 #kitchenhacks #cookinghacks #onionhack #cookinghack #onions
Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer Y’all already know I’ve been on a serious freezer meal kick lately since I unfortunately have to go back to work next week 😭 And let me tell you… having a freezer stocked full of easy homemade dinners is about to save me on those busy weeknights!

One of my all-time favorite freezer meals is this homemade chicken pot pie recipe 🥧✨ It definitely takes a little extra work, especially if you make the homemade pie crust from scratch; but trust me, it is SO worth it. The creamy chicken filling, flaky buttery crust, and cozy comfort food vibes make it one of the best dinners ever.

Anytime I make homemade chicken pot pie, I always make two: one for dinner now and one freezer meal for later. And this time, I took my extra frozen chicken pot pie to my sweet mama after her surgery yesterday 💛 It’s honestly the perfect meal to bring someone recovering from surgery, welcoming a new baby, or just going through a hard season because all they have to do is pop it in the oven for an easy homemade comfort meal.

If you love easy freezer meals, homemade comfort food recipes, or make-ahead dinners for busy families, you definitely need to try this one!

I can’t believe it’s officially been one month sin I can’t believe it’s officially been one month since my endometriosis excision surgery. Honestly, I really thought by now I’d be coming on here saying I finally felt like myself again. I wanted this surgery to be the answer so badly. But the truth is… I’m still struggling every single day.

The lower back pain, hip pain, chronic fatigue, GI issues, insomnia, dizziness, and POTS-like symptoms are all still here. And while my surgeon was absolutely wonderful and removed the endometriosis she found, we’re now starting to realize there may be something more going on underneath it all.

Right now we’re exploring possibilities like EDS, MCAS, and POTS, which honestly feels overwhelming because getting doctors to truly listen and take women seriously can feel like a full time job in itself. I know so many women with chronic illness, endometriosis, and invisible illnesses understand exactly what I mean.

But even though I’m discouraged, I’m not giving up. I know my body, I know something still isn’t right, and I’ll continue advocating for myself until I get answers. And if sharing my story helps even one woman feel less alone in her own health journey, then it’s worth it 🤍 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisexcision #chronicallyill
Since I’ve been home recovering from surgery and g Since I’ve been home recovering from surgery and getting ready to head back to work next week, I’ve been stocking my freezer with all my favorite freezer-friendly meals, and this crockpot spaghetti sauce is always at the top of the list 🍝❤️

This easy slow cooker spaghetti sauce recipe is seriously my all-time favorite comfort food. There’s nothing better than a big plate of spaghetti with homemade meat sauce, especially when the crockpot does all the work for you! Just toss everything in, let it simmer low and slow all day, and your house smells AMAZING 🤤

One of the best parts? This recipe makes a huge batch, so I always freeze extra for easy weeknight dinners later on. Just thaw, heat, and dinner is basically done 🙌 Perfect for busy work weeks, meal prep, freezer cooking, and easy family dinners!

I love using fresh strawberries and blueberries to create the red, white, and blue patriotic design, and the sweet sugar cookie crust with creamy frosting makes it absolutely irresistible. Plus, it’s one of those quick and easy desserts that’s perfect whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, heading to a cookout, or just wanting a fun summer treat!

This holiday is about honoring and remembering the brave men and women of our military who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom and for this country we love so much. Because freedom is never free.

So while you enjoy the long weekend, fly your American flags proudly, hug your family a little tighter, and take a moment to remember the heroes who gave everything for the United States of America. Land of the free because of the brave. 🇺🇸 #america #memorialday #freedomisntfree #rememberthefallen #memorialdayweekend🇺🇸

And my little garden is definitely thankful too 🌱 Nothing makes me happier lately than sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch, listening to the rain come down, and pretending I’m a little old lady already 😂

Slow mornings, fresh rain, growing gardens, and hot coffee… that’s basically my ideal summer morning at this point 🤍

Anyone else turn into a porch-sitting grandma the second it rains? 🤣🌧️ #porchsitting #porchsittin #rainymorning #cozymorning #rainymood

The BEST Cat Food For Your Cat

This post is sponsored by BabbleBoxx on behalf of BLUE Buffalo.

Y’all know that I am a loud and proud cat mom. I mean, I even made my Toby his very own cat room. So that means I want to give my cat the best possible option for nutrition that is out there!

And that’s why we both love BLUE Tastefuls products. It really is the best cat food ever, and as you can see from the photos below, Toby would definitely agree with that!

He really enjoyed trying out all the different flavors and options, and we’re going to let you know just which ones were his favorite to enjoy!

The Best Cat Food
Look at my little cutie! So excited to try his salmon entree here!

Why Choose BLUE Tastefuls

If you are a cat parent too, then you may be wondering why I think BLUE Tastefuls has the best cat food for my cat. Well, I am here to give you all the lists and reasons why!

First of all, REAL meat is the very first ingredient. Either real chicken or real fish is always first. Yes, you read that right! No artificial preservatives or anything like that comes in any of their products.

All the ingredients are healthy and natural with no corn, wheat, or soy. As well as no chicken (or poultry) by-product meals. This is the true BLUE promise.

Plus, cats just go crazy for the taste. Toby literally comes running out of nowhere when he hears me pop open one of these cans!

Toby enjoying a BLUE Tastefuls Ocean Fish and Tuna Entrée.

BLUE Tastefuls cat food really does stand superior to other ordinary cat food brands. They know the tastes that cats love and combine it with flavors that are healthy and natural to help them thrive.

Since they come in over 10 different flavor options, they will win over even the pickiest of eaters. And let me tell you, Toby is pretty picky himself as you will read below!

Toby loves the Flaked options!

BLUE Tastefuls Flavor Options 

You can easily find a multi-pack of assorted flavors at any local grocery store. They also have different styles when it comes to the cat food as well: paté, tender morsels or flaked. Here is a list of the different flavors in the paté pack:

  • Chicken Entrée 
  • Salmon Entrée 
  • Ocean Fish and Tuna Entrée 

And here are the assorted flavors in the flaked pack: 

  • Chicken Entrée in Gravy 
  • Fish and Shrimp Entrée in Gravy 
  • Tuna Entrée in Gravy 
Toby with Cat Food

Toby’s Favorite Flavors

So of course we had to test all the flavors out and Toby wanted to tell you all what his favorite ones were! 

I think his most favorite out of them all was the Fish and Shrimp Entrée in Gravy! I think he liked that one the best because it was the flaked option.

I have only bought him the paté versions before so he had never experienced the flaked ones. And it was a game changer! He gobbled it right up and enjoyed every last bite of it.

The difference between the flaked and the paté is mainly the fact that it has more chunks of food in it. Which is why I think he enjoyed it more. 

Posing with Cat Food

I would say his second favorite was the Salmon Entrée. He is definitely a salmon boy and goes crazy for anything with that flavor. He really liked both the paté and flaked versions.

Toby’s third favorite was the Chicken Entrée in Gravy. He normally doesn’t enjoy anything with a chicken flavor and gravitates more towards anything seafood.

But, BLUE Tastefuls has made him change his mind on that! He still devoured the chicken flavor too and seemed to enjoy it almost as much as the others.

I was very surprised and it just goes to show you the amazing quality of ingredients that they put into their food. 

Conclusion

If you’re looking for a great and healthy option to feed your cat with, then you definitely need to check BLUE Tastefuls out.

They really are the best cat food and I would say that Toby agrees 100% with me. In fact, he’s spoiled now because he no longer wants any other cat food besides this amazing brand!

But, I am definitely okay with that because I know exactly what is in these products and I feel comfortable and safe enough to give it to him without any hesitations or concerns. 

Cats want great taste, and cat parents want a healthy option to provide to them. So with BLUE Tastefuls they bring you both in the convenient little can! Toby loves the taste, and I love the ingredients so it is definitely a win win for us!

Let your cat give it a try too. I promise one taste is all it takes!

Pin for later!

    Toby is so cuteeeeeee. We have many stray cats living outside the house but we don’t really ‘own’ them. We just give them our extra food and fish bones haha. Good to know about Blue Tastefuls. If I ever own a cat, I surely will buy this!

    Hi Charity,

    I love Toby – he reminds me of our last cat, Stella (sadly no longer with us).

    Blue Tastefuls sound like a great option for cat owners – and their cats! Are they USA-only or do they have operations elsewhere, like the UK?

One of my all-time favorite freezer meals is this homemade chicken pot pie recipe 🥧✨ It definitely takes a little extra work, especially if you make the homemade pie crust from scratch; but trust me, it is SO worth it. The creamy chicken filling, flaky buttery crust, and cozy comfort food vibes make it one of the best dinners ever.

Anytime I make homemade chicken pot pie, I always make two: one for dinner now and one freezer meal for later. And this time, I took my extra frozen chicken pot pie to my sweet mama after her surgery yesterday 💛 It’s honestly the perfect meal to bring someone recovering from surgery, welcoming a new baby, or just going through a hard season because all they have to do is pop it in the oven for an easy homemade comfort meal.

So instead of using the actual truck bed for two 1 So instead of using the actual truck bed for two 12-foot trees, he somehow decides cramming them into my SUV is the better option 🤣 And I’m still shocked they even fit. Barely 😅

Meanwhile, his shiny new truck is sitting safe and spotless in the garage where not a single speck of dirt or potting soil can touch it 😂🚙

Tell me I’m not the only wife dealing with this kind of logic?! 🤦🏼‍♀️😂 #marriagehumor #povreels #funnymarriage #husbandwifecomedy #husbandwifejokes
I can’t believe it’s officially been one month sin I can’t believe it’s officially been one month since my endometriosis excision surgery. Honestly, I really thought by now I’d be coming on here saying I finally felt like myself again. I wanted this surgery to be the answer so badly. But the truth is… I’m still struggling every single day.

The lower back pain, hip pain, chronic fatigue, GI issues, insomnia, dizziness, and POTS-like symptoms are all still here. And while my surgeon was absolutely wonderful and removed the endometriosis she found, we’re now starting to realize there may be something more going on underneath it all.

Right now we’re exploring possibilities like EDS, MCAS, and POTS, which honestly feels overwhelming because getting doctors to truly listen and take women seriously can feel like a full time job in itself. I know so many women with chronic illness, endometriosis, and invisible illnesses understand exactly what I mean.

But even though I’m discouraged, I’m not giving up. I know my body, I know something still isn’t right, and I’ll continue advocating for myself until I get answers. And if sharing my story helps even one woman feel less alone in her own health journey, then it’s worth it 🤍 #chronicillnessawareness #chronicillnesswarrior #endometriosis #endometriosisexcision #chronicallyill

But honestly, after this drought, waking up to a r But honestly, after this drought, waking up to a rainy morning felt so cozy. And my little garden is definitely thankful too 🌱 Nothing makes me happier lately than sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch, listening to the rain come down, and pretending I’m a little old lady already 😂

Slow mornings, fresh rain, growing gardens, and hot coffee… that’s basically my ideal summer morning at this point 🤍

Anyone else turn into a porch-sitting grandma the second it rains? 🤣🌧️ #porchsitting #porchsittin #rainymorning #cozymorning #rainymood
