Hey Everyone! Things here just still haven't really calmed down - I swear I need a vacation - even if it is just a day trip to Boone to eat at Capones and get some app state goodies at walmart or something like that! Last week was the weirdest girl time ever- It was NOT exceptionally BAD but it was just super oddball. Don't worry- I won't get into specifics.. it was just ackward and almost like it came at me BACKWARDS or something. David actually got Saturday off of work for the first time in FOREVER, and he even got the Holiday on Monday as well so that was super fun. We ended up going into town on Sunday and trying a new place to eat and then on Monday we went over to my mom and dads for a cookout- that was after we made a visit to ALDI , Food LIon & Walmart (I did some Ibotta deals there for the first time in FOREVER) I am piecing together the gift guide, and it is actually coming together fairly well- I hope to be able to add some things to it later today if I get … [Read more...]

  Hey Everyone So I managed to get up my gift guide post finally :) I actually did make the graphic the same day that I last wrote, so there is that at least! I wasn't super sure if I should attempt to do one, but I already got 2 yes' so I guess we can just take things slow and see how things go and all of that. I just don't want to get too much at one time - I think I would be easily overwhelmed for some reason - I guess taking some time off will do that to you. In general though I am pretty excited! David was off the week before last , and apparently we both had some kind of cold that totally wiped us both out- I am pretty sure it wasn't covid because of our symptoms- we were just super tired and a sore throat that kind of came and went - I know some of mine was allergies because I had several really bad sneezing fits in the evenings!  I was just happy that he was off work and we both could just cuddle up and be together though the whole thing! We had planned to go to … [Read more...]

But just as we thought the bad weather was good to go, Hurricane Laura, which affected the population in Texas and Louisiana, is making its way across the Pacific. By the time it reaches the UK, the hurricane would have turned into Storm Laura.    At the same time, the UK government is pushing advice and campaigns to get fit. We’ve even seen photos of our Prime Minister running with a personal trainer. However, while the PM can probably hire a private gym when the weather takes a turn for the worse, most of us are stuck wondering how to get fit outdoors this autumn. How can you combine the rain with your fitness routine? Here’s a tip: Train with an animal.  Unsplash - CC0 Licence    Dog owners already have the perfect excuse For dog owners, Storm Laura or not, you need to take your dog out. On a rainy day, though, you want to make sure your pet is equipped for the weather. Buying a … [Read more...]
