Yesterday we surprised the kids and brought home a puppy!! They have been begging for one for years and we felt like the time was right to bring one home.

Meet Angus 🐕 He's a Golden Retriever/King Charles Cavalier Spaniel mix. He's 11 weeks old and currently weighs about 8 pounds, he should be around 35 pounds fully grown. I know it will be an adjustment for a while as he gets potty trained etc but we are so excited. 😂 Wish us luck! 🤪

Cheese is good! I ate a block of chipotle oven baked cheese with lunch yesterday and it was divine. I love it, but know that it halts any progress I'm making, and will even trigger eating in excess to where I'll gain weight. It's sad but I have accepted it. If I eat it in small quantities with a meal, it's ok, but I really have to work to keep it in check.

What's your favorite cheese? How do you incorporate it? Do you see negative results when eating it?

Happy Sunday! Sharing a video today from our week, one of the highlights. This was Wednesday evening church, normally they have a more casual prayer meeting where someone plays the guitar, but they were doing some construction in the fellowship hall so they had their prayer meeting in the sanctuary. No one was there to play the piano so my my Grandma did it, she's been playing the piano in church for probably 80 years.

For context, she's 88, she had a really bad fall 5 years ago now and hit her head and ended up with a lot setbacks, similar to having a stroke. She has a lot of dementia like symptoms also (I am sure related to her Type 2 diabetes), she really can't read music anymore, and she has trouble seeing well, and she needs to wear hearing aids to hear but hates wearing them, so on this night she didn't want to wear them. My 93 (almost 94) year old grandpa takes care of both of them on their farm. Anyway, on this night she sat down on the piano and led worship as people called ...

Well apparently I accidentally contributed to an April fool's prank afterall because I thought all day yesterday it was Tuesday, I even had Tuesday on my morning post. 🤦🏼‍♀️

So happy Thursday today!! This is Easter weekend, one of my favorite holidays!! @Lauren24 made a post yesterday asking what everyone is eating/cooking for Easter. I thought it might be helpful to make a big thread about that today. What will be your approach to food this weekend? How are you going to keep yourself on track? Any meal ideas or recipes to share??

I honestly don't know what we will be eating yet so I need some ideas too!!

Carnivore friends: What are your food plans for Easter? 🐣✝️

We will be hosting at our house unexpectedly so I’m looking for ideas! My dad may bring some roasted lamb chops- I’m not a big lamb person so I want an alternative.
