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 ...
Happy April 1st!! No April Fool's pranks from me, life is crazy enough already! 🤪😂 It's a fantastic day to set some new goals and get focused for the month ahead. I know we have Easter this weekend, but no other holidays this month. It will hopefully be a good month to build some momentum going into summer. How are you feeling? Pumped and ready to go? Or anxious and frustrated??
What is your Non-Negotiale for April?
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.
I’m so tired but hanging in there. It’s been so busy lately! And in case you’re curious my daughter has a 2nd date with the Blind Date guy this weekend.
I think my hubby is low key freaking out. I’m sure he will adapt but this might be challenging.
Funny fact : my daughter thought it hilarious when I mentioned the older man who set her up with “Blind Date guy” is legally blind. She just kind looked at me and started laughing. “I got set up on a blind date, by a blind man”. 🤣
