Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part o Plot twist: Riley’s biological mom is still part of the family too! 😹🐾

A few years ago on Valentine’s Day morning, my mom discovered a mama cat and her three kittens on her front porch. As a lifelong cat lover, there was absolutely no way I wasn’t bringing one of those sweet rescue kittens home once she was old enough. And that’s how Riley became part of our family. ❤️

Fast forward to today, and Riley has grown into the funniest, sassiest, most personality-filled cat I’ve ever had. She’s definitely not a lap cat, and she makes you work for every ounce of attention and affection, but somehow that just makes me love her even more. 😂

The best part? My mom ended up keeping Riley’s mom, Smoke, while finding loving homes for all the other kittens. So Riley’s mama is still around, and we get to see her from time to time. 🥹🐱

It feels like this whole rescue cat story was just meant to be. ❤️

Do your pets have a special adoption story too? Share it below! ⬇️🐾

There’s just something about soaking up a little vitamin D, listening to the water, and completely slowing down for a few hours. And let’s not forget the elite summer activity: the post-lunch poolside nap. 😂

These are the simple summer moments I look forward to all year long, and honestly, I wish every Friday could look like this!

As someone who deals with chronic lower back pain and everyday stress, I count down the days until my next appointment!

Sure, it’s not a permanent fix, but even a little relief can make a huge difference. I always leave feeling more relaxed, less tense, and ready to take on life again (or at least survive another work week 😜).

If you’ve ever struggled with chronic pain, muscle tension, or stress, you know how amazing that post-massage feeling is!

And let me tell you… this pepper was DELICIOUS! 🙌 Now I’m anxiously waiting for our cucumbers, squash, and tomatoes to really start producing. There’s just something so exciting about watching a vegetable garden grow and finally getting to enjoy the fruits (and veggies!) of your labor.

And while I’ve never been officially diagnosed as neurodivergent, let’s just say some of those traits hit a little too close to home. 🧠😂

Every evening has looked pretty much the same: clock out, soak my aching body in a scorching hot bath, grab my heating pad, put on my weighted eye mask, and immediately take a cat nap before I can even think about making dinner or doing anything around the house. 😴

I knew recovering from endometriosis excision surgery would take time, but I didn’t expect the exhaustion to hit this hard after returning to work. My body is definitely reminding me that healing isn’t always a straight line.

Right now, this little recovery routine is getting me through:

💛 Heating pad on full blast
💛 Weighted eye mask (shoutout to @nodpodofficial)

Thankfully, it’s finally the weekend, and I can focus on resting and recharging before doing it all over again next week.

Whimsy Home Wednesday 03

Well happy Wednesday friends!! One of my favorite days of the week since it is time for our Whimsy Home Wednesday link party again! I have been super busy this past weekend getting all my Christmas decor out and ready to go!

I shared all about my favorite King of Christmas Trees on the blog last week, in case you’re looking for a new Christmas tree this year. I highly recommend them, seeing as how I have a total of 3 different trees from them!

But anyways, it’s been fun to decorate and get everything all cozy with the Christmas lights! I can’t wait to share a lot more Christmas content with you guys coming up in the next few weeks too!

King of Christmas King Flock Slim Tree
Here’s a sneak peek of one of my King of Christmas trees. Be sure to check out the full post to see all the other ones I love too!

Whimsical Home Projects From Our Features

Congratulations to our featured posts of Whimsy Home Wednesday! All the posts were beautiful, full of great ideas, and  we are so thankful to everyone who shared! This is why it was so difficult to pick just five Whimsical Home Halloween (and fall) projects.

These are our featured posts! They will each receive a featured button to share on their blog and be added to the Whimsy Home Wednesday Pinterest boards!

From Farmhouse to Florida

I loved Kim’s way of styling a footed tray for the holidays. Y’all know me, I am all about styling for Christmas right now in my home, and I need all the inspiration I can get! I also loved how she used vintage ornament too! Those are my jam!

An Organized Season

Becky’s choice this week was Donna’s tutorial from An Organized Season blog. She shared all about how to strip and bleach wood furniture. So if you have an old piece of furniture laying around that needs a little love, be sure to go check her post out!

Exquisitely Unremarkable

Cara’s choice to feature this week was this amazing basement makeover from Kim’s blog, Exquisitely Unremarkable. I love how she completely revamped her basement space and made it look brand new! Go check it out to see all the simple changes she made for a big impact!

Saved from Salvage

Meredith’s choice this week was this incredible side table flip completed by Regina over at Saved From Salvage. This was the perfect before and after project and I am just completely floored by the results of it! Go check it out and see just how she finished this beautiful piece.

Fresh Vintage by Lisa S

If you’re looking for a good way to repurpose old clothing, then be sure to check out this post, One Doily, One Shirt from Fresh Vintage by Lisa S. I love how she used the doily to make an old flannel shirt more unique and vintage!
