Look, I think we can all agree that 2016 was a pretty rough year. I mean, it’s become a meme to point out all the crappy things that have happened in the last twelve months. “Thanks a lot, 2016, you’ve killed off a bunch of beloved people, the world is terrifying now, and you’ve…
Confession: I don’t really like these friday favs posts. They take a lot of work and there’s not much payoff.. and I don’t just mean for me – according to analytics these links only get clicked by <10% of people who view the posts (which means that less than ten percent of you are…
Mia learned several new skills with her trainer last week, and this week we’ve been reinforcing those skills in our home. The hardest part is being consistent and not letting her get away with anything (because she loves to push the boundaries). But I think she’s doing well! Here she is sitting in her “place”…
My heart is still dealing with all the craziness of this week, but staying offline and being intentionally still has helped me feel more peaceful today. Throughout the day I tried to be more aware of “the little things” that can bring moments of happiness. Here are 3 of those moments from today: 1. Our dog Mia…
Mia is the only dog I’ve seen who piles pillows on herself like this! It’s so funny to watch her get situated, pawing the pillows into *just* the perfect place and then snoring within minutes. Have any of you ever met a dog who does this?
Today is Mia’s 1st birthday! Josh just happened to find the original text from her previous owner that mentioned her birthday TODAY.. great timing. This little girl is really needy and energetic but she’s also a lot of fun and a total sweetheart. All of my original concerns turned out to not be an issue –…
Mia is getting better about being quiet while we film. The first few shoots with her were rough (or should I say…. ruff? I’M SORRY). She’d whine and bark and run onto the set.. it was frustrating. But today we shot a video and she was really good! I think it’s mostly because she had a really long…
To randomly select these three photos, I just closed my eyes, scrolled through the photo roll on my phone, and randomly stopped the scroll with my thumb. Videos & screenshots didn’t count (my camera roll is incredibly cluttered with videos and screenshots so it took me a few attempts). Funnily enough, I ended up…
Mia is funny. She gets SO excited about riding in the car, but after about two minutes she starts feeling anxious. She paces in the back seat and whines nervously for the rest of the drive. It’s super annoying, haha. But I get it. I feel anxious when I’m out of control, too! I know…
Mia Mia and I had a little bit of a rough start in our first few days together. I wondered if we’d made a mistake by getting such a needy & loud dog, but she’s winning me over! As we’re settling into more of a routine, her personality is becoming more apparent. She’s a real sweetheart. Julian’s…
