Fall allergies starting? 🤧

Sneezing, itchy eyes, congestion or sinus pressure?

Two people can have the SAME allergy symptoms and need completely different support.

Before buying another allergy supplement and hoping it works…

TEST. DON’T GUESS.

Got out of the truck tonight and this guy scared me 😂😂! Had a great night with friends, amazing homemade food & live music from the one & only Elijah J. Klein! Thank you Elijah for sharing your latest song. Now I have to figure out my favorite all over!!! Sorry no other pictures because we were enjoying being in the moment!

POV: Mom says we’re headed to Taper Barber Lounge to see Abbie… 💈🐾

Do I need a haircut? Nope.
Do I have an appointment? Nope.
Does Abbie love me and therefore require regular Luna visits? Obviously. 😂

So here I am… headed to the barber like I have somewhere important to be.

Because apparently being adorable is a full-time job. 🐶❤️

We just saved a ton of money on car insurance…

No, we didn’t switch to GEICO

My son did. 😂

And apparently taking a 19 year old male driver off OUR policy saves us almost…

$5,000 A YEAR. 😳😂

If you saw my Buster post, you know this transition has come with a whole lot of emotions.

Sad? Yep.
Worried? Always.
Still adjusting? Absolutely.

But FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR?!

I mean… I’m still sad.

Just apparently $5,000-a-year-less-sad. 😂

Parenthood is wild.

One day you’re standing in an empty bedroom crying over a stuffed animal and wondering where all the years went…

The next day your insurance company tells you that you basically just got a $5,000-a-year raise. 😂

Silver linings come in all shapes and sizes, I guess.

I will always love you mostest, MoMo❤️

Enjoy🦎

Mom and Dad are keeping the $5K. 😂

My son moved out this past week.

It wasn’t quite the transition we imagined, and I’m learning that some chapters don’t close as neatly as we hope they will.

Then I walked into his room and found Buster.

And that one little stuffed animal got me.

We waited 11½ years for God to bring our son to us. Eleven and a half years of waiting, hoping and praying before we finally traveled to Taiwan and became his family.

And somehow, nearly 20 years later, here I was standing in his empty room looking at Buster.

It’s amazing how something so small can hold so many memories of the little boy we waited so long for, the years that went by far too quickly, the ordinary days that I knew I’d someday miss, and all the moments in between.

Being a parent is such a mix of holding on and letting go. Sometimes you’re proud. Sometimes you’re sad. Sometimes (more like all the time) you’re worried. Sometimes you’re mad as Hell. Sometimes your heart hurts. And sometimes you just stand in an empty room looking at an old stuffed animal and feel all of it at once.

This isn’t exactly how I pictured this chapter beginning, and I don’t know what comes next.

But 11½ years taught me something about waiting, trusting and loving through the unknown.

So maybe that’s what I’ll do again.

But God.

Those two words have carried me through a lot of unknowns before. I think I’ll hold onto them through this one too.

And for now, Buster will stay right where he is. ❤️

I love you mostest, Moses. ❤️

😂🐾 I think Luna has a type…

Apparently, one Doberman just isn’t enough. Luna found herself a whole squad. 🖤🤎

She may be the itty bitty pitty but judging by this photo, she’s pretty convinced she belongs in the Doberman club. And honestly… look at her keeping up! 😂

Luna’s dating profile:
💕 Likes: Dobermans
💕 Also likes: Dobermans
💕 Looking for: More Dobermans
💕 Deal breaker: Not being a Doberman

When you know what you like, you know. 😂🐶

Luna had a great time at the dog park! Especially with her favorite dobie Gigi.

🛋️ How NOT to let your couch win…

🙏 A little Jesus.
🌿 DesBio Motivation.
💙 One deep breath.
✨ And a whole lot of grace.

Some days motivation shows up ready to conquer the world.

Other days, your couch has a surprisingly strong sales pitch.

If today all you can do is take one small step, take it. Small steps still move you forward.

Because your to-do list filed a missing person report.

One hour.
13 dogs.
Zero zoomies left.

Whoever invented dog parks… thank you. 🙌

Luna is currently unavailable for barking at imaginary dangers, excavating the landscaping, or supervising neighborhood lizards.

She’ll resume those duties after her 4-hour nap. 😴🐾

Happy Lazy Sunday! ❤️
