I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

There’s just something about the warm glow of cand There’s just something about the warm glow of candlelight, a cool autumn breeze, and relaxing on the porch with a mug of hot apple cider that makes my heart so happy. Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting l Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting lost or dying in the most random places? 😂 Mine literally only had to move TWO more feet to reach its charging dock, but instead it just gave up. Like… buddy, you were so close! 🤣

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

After spending the entire week at the beach in Myrtle Beach, I can confidently say…I’m officially ready for fall weather, cozy sweaters, pumpkin everything, and then it’s straight into Christmas decorating mode! 🧡🎃➡️🎄 This heat has me dreaming of crisp mornings, twinkling lights, baking Christmas cookies, and all the cozy vibes.

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

So tell me…are you soaking up every second of summer, or are you counting down the days until fall and Christmas like I am? 🍂🎅👇🏻

I can’t wait to stick them in my mums this autumn! They’re such a fun way to add a little spooky charm to your fall porch decor, outdoor planters, or even your garden. Plus, they’re so simple to make!

The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on our first day of vacation, so I figured, “Why get all set up on the beach if we’re just going to get rained out?” Seemed like a solid plan…

Except “chance of rain” turned into a full-on monsoon. 🌧️💀

There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉

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?

I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of ou I almost didn’t post this. After sharing all of our beach vacation content last week, it probably looked like we had the perfect trip. Smiles, sunsets, seafood, beach days, and we truly did make some amazing memories.
But social media rarely shows everything. What you didn’t see was my heart pounding every time I carried my beach bag down to the sand. Feeling so dizzy and nauseous that I had to run back to the condo just to throw up. Watching my heart rate skyrocket and my Apple Watch constantly sending high heart rate notifications, even while I was just sitting at dinner or relaxing on the couch. Imagine how high it gets when I’m actually doing something. You didn’t see my hands shaking so badly that putting on my makeup became a challenge.
Or the hours spent on the phone with doctors, insurance companies, and specialists trying to get referrals approved, MRIs scheduled, and answers that still haven’t come. After weeks of waiting, I finally got my brain, spine, and lower back MRIs scheduled, but they’re not until August 18. So now comes even more waiting and hoping for answers. 🙃
You didn’t see me checking my suitcase over and over, terrified I’d forget an important medication or something I might need while we were away.
And when we finally made it home? I ended up with what seemed like an allergic reaction, my right eye swelled shut, burned, and watered nonstop, my nose couldn’t decide if it wanted to be stuffed up or run like a faucet, and I topped it all off with a pounding migraine. This is the reality of living with an invisible illness.
You learn how to smile through the symptoms. You push through when you can. You rest when you have to. And you become really good at making things look “normal” even when your body is fighting you every step of the way. So if you’ve ever looked at someone’s vacation photos and thought they must have it all together, this is your reminder that you never know what someone is carrying behind the scenes.
And to my sweet hubby, thank you for giving me grace, slowing down when I need to, carrying the things I can’t, and reminding me that making memories together is what matters most ♥️

Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of an Leaving the beach is always the hardest part of any beach vacation. As much as I’ve loved every minute of soaking up the sun, watching the waves, and making memories, I’m officially ready to head home.

Mostly because I can’t wait to see my little fur babies! 🐈💕 I’m counting down the minutes until I can cuddle them on the couch and unwind after an amazing week away.

Vacations are wonderful, but there’s just something special about walking back through your own front door. 🏡✨

So tell me… are you the type who wishes vacation could last forever, or do you always end up a little homesick and ready to get back home?

There’s just something about the warm glow of cand There’s just something about the warm glow of candlelight, a cool autumn breeze, and relaxing on the porch with a mug of hot apple cider that makes my heart so happy. Fall is hands-down my favorite season, and I am so ready for all the cozy fall vibes.

This summer has been so hot, humid, and rainy that it feels like every weekend gets rained out. 😂 So if anyone’s ready for crisp air, sweaters, fall porch decor, pumpkin candles, and peaceful evenings outside… it’s me!

Who’s already counting down the days until autumn arrives? 🍁 Tell me your favorite thing about fall in the comments! 👇🏻

Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting l Is anyone else’s robot vacuum constantly getting lost or dying in the most random places? 😂 Mine literally only had to move TWO more feet to reach its charging dock, but instead it just gave up. Like… buddy, you were so close! 🤣

I also find it trapped under beds, cabinets, and furniture more often than I find it actually cleaning the house. At this point, I spend more time searching for my robot vacuum than I would if I just grabbed the regular vacuum myself. 😂

I know robot vacuums are supposed to make cleaning easier, but sometimes they create their own little adventures instead. Please tell me I’m not the only one! Does your robot vacuum have a mind of its own too, or is mine just extra dramatic? 🤣

Christmas in July is almost over, so I had to snea Christmas in July is almost over, so I had to sneak in one more little dose of holiday magic! 🎄✨ I seriously can’t believe July is already coming to an end.

After spending the entire week at the beach in Myrtle Beach, I can confidently say…I’m officially ready for fall weather, cozy sweaters, pumpkin everything, and then it’s straight into Christmas decorating mode! 🧡🎃➡️🎄 This heat has me dreaming of crisp mornings, twinkling lights, baking Christmas cookies, and all the cozy vibes.

I know I’m probably rushing the seasons a little, but if you’re a fellow cozy season lover, you get it. 😂

So tell me…are you soaking up every second of summer, or are you counting down the days until fall and Christmas like I am? 🍂🎅👇🏻

If you’re looking for easy DIY Halloween decor, th If you’re looking for easy DIY Halloween decor, these spooky cute ghost plant markers are the perfect project! 👻🖤

I made these using my @glowforge machine, and I can’t get over how adorable they turned out! Once they were cut, all they needed was a quick coat of white spray paint, and they were ready to decorate my fall planters.

I can’t wait to stick them in my mums this autumn! They’re such a fun way to add a little spooky charm to your fall porch decor, outdoor planters, or even your garden. Plus, they’re so simple to make!

Who else is already counting down the days until it’s time to decorate for Halloween? 🎃👻

The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on The forecast said cloudy with a chance of rain on our first day of vacation, so I figured, “Why get all set up on the beach if we’re just going to get rained out?” Seemed like a solid plan…

Except “chance of rain” turned into a full-on monsoon. 🌧️💀

There I was… the golf cart passenger princess, completely soaked from every direction while my husband happily kept golfing. Because golf consumes every thought he has and he has also been obsessed with watching The Hawk on Netflix the entire duration of our vacation so far 🤣

Turns out I love the cute golf outfits (shoutout to @altardstate for this cute fit find!) and don’t mind riding along with a good book… but becoming one with the rain? Hard pass. 😩

At least we got a few good laughs before the downpour! Now I’m manifesting sunshine for the rest of vacation because I’d much rather be by the pool than back on the golf course. 😂

Tell me… are you Team Golf ⛳️ or Team Pool? 🏖️👇

POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark POV: You planned your beach vacation during Shark Week because obviously all the sharks are busy filming TV. 😂🦈

In case you didn’t know… Shark Week is the safest week to go to the beach because all the sharks are away on TV right now, so there’s absolutely no chance of getting bitten. (Don’t fact-check me. 🤣)

Looks like we accidentally picked the perfect week to visit Dirty Myrtle! 🌊☀️

Who’s heading to Myrtle Beach this summer? And be honest… are you team “I’ll still get in the ocean” or team “I’ll admire it from the sand”? 😂

I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Bea I’ll never say no to a sunset cruise in Myrtle Beach! There’s just something about watching the sun melt into the ocean while the breeze hits your face that makes you forget about life’s chaos for a little while.

And honestly? I needed that.

With everything that’s been going on lately, this was exactly the reset my heart needed. For a couple of hours, all I had to worry about was whether I wanted another drink and if we were going to see dolphins. 😂

So yes… call it Dirty Myrtle all you want, but she gave me gorgeous sunsets, peaceful ocean views, and memories I’ll be replaying long after vacation is over.

Now excuse me while I spend the next six months trying to convince my husband we need to move somewhere that has sunsets like this every night. 🤣

Who’s team Dirty Myrtle… and who’s still refusing to admit it’s actually kind of fun? 👇🏻😉
