Meet Byrdie Flora.

We are going to call her Byrdie. Every dog needs a middle name don’t you think? 🙂 H came up with Flora on his own and I love it!

Byrdie is quickly filling the void in our home and bringing so much fun and happiness. If you want to follow along on all things corgi puppy feel free to follow @byrdiethecorgi . H thought she needed her own Instagram account. It will be fun place to share all her adventures. :)

It's been a while. I hope summer was amazing for all of you. We had a very busy but good summer.

Sadly, in July, we had to say goodbye to our sweet Luna. It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Not doing what was right for her, but just getting to that moment. I kept wondering how I was going to get through it? What would it be like? I did not want her to suffer, and I had no idea how I would know when it was time. But I did. Getting to that point was awful. But being by her side when it was time to say goodbye was oddly easy. It was a relief. Luna was my first pet (besides two hamsters after college 😂) and she was so special. She will always be special. Pets are such a blessing in our lives. I definitely feel blessed we had Luna as long as I did. She was almost 14!

Seeing H go through losing Luna was hard. He loved her, but at the same time, only really knew her as an older dog. We had talked a bit before Luna passed away about whether or not we would get another dog. He really wanted one, and I did too. I thought I would not be ready for a while. We originally thought next spring, but the house felt so empty after Luna was gone. So guess what?

We welcomed a new corgi puppy home a week ago. It's crazy how we found her, and it happened really fast, but she is perfect for our family, and H is having so much fun with her. And she is a red headed tri-color just like Luna! We found her in South Dakota, so H and I took a little road trip to pick her up. She was born as a single puppy with no littermates. H thought that was super cool when we found out and said, "My new dog is an only child too." Anyway, life just got a little crazier but in a good way! This is one of my last pictures of the three of us and I just love it. She had a good day lounging in the sunshine and so did we.🤍

When DrNatura reached out to see if I wanted to tr

When DrNatura reached out to see if I wanted to try their 30 Day Colonix Cleanse it looked oddly familiar. After taking a look closer I realized I did this exact cleanse in 1999. A friend at the time told me about it and I was just starting to get into "health" stuff. At the time I had horrible stomach problems as did my friend and since she loved it I thought I would give it a try. From what I can recall I had a great experience so I decided to try it again. This time going into it in a good state of health but still finding it beneficial.

I know there are mixed thoughts on cleanses like these so when I consider any product I do a lot of research. Given this product has been on the market for a very long time it is easy to find countless reviews. My recommendation is to always do your own research and work with a healthcare profession. This will enable you to determine what products are the right fit for you based on your current health state and health goals. Don’t just take my word for it. Do your own research.

Have a ton of random veggies in your fridge? My favorite way to make sure I don’t waste leftover veggies is the roast them with a little olive oil and any seasoning I’m feeling in the moment.

▫️INSTRUCTIONS▫️

-Preheat oven to 425°F.
-Chop leftover veggies.
-Toss veggies with a drizzle of olive oil.
-Season with herbs, spices, salt, and pepper.
-Spread on a baking sheet, ensuring they're not overcrowded.
-Roast for 20-25 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.

What is your favorite way to use up leftover veggies? Happy Tuesday!

#maralabspartner Throughout my adult life, I have

#maralabspartner Throughout my adult life, I have had a love-hate relationship with supplements. I have been through periods where I take them consistently and periods where I don’t use them at all. I think my biggest issue is finding a supplement company I can truly trust and not over complicating things by taking more supplements than I need.

I recently promised myself that I would not buy any more supplements until I used up everything I currently have. While I finished using what I had I re-evaluated what I really needed and then researched like crazy to find a company I trusted. I will be sharing my new supplement line up over the next few months along with why I am taking what I am taking.

To start I have added a number of supplements from Mara Labs. Some have replaced ones I was already taking but the Mara Lab version is much higher quality. Their supplements are backed by evidence-based research and provide cellular benefit due to proven bioavailability and bioactivity. This means that when you take one of their supplements, it is not only making it into your bloodstream, but it is entering your cells.

They have a number of amazing supplements but the one they are most known for is BrocElite. It is the only broccoli supplement on the market offering naturally derived stabilized sulforaphane in a capsule (as opposed to the precursor, glucoraphanin). I am overjoyed to have found a supplement that can help me easily consume this amazing ingredient!

Sulforaphane or SFN for short was discovered in 1992 by researchers at Johns Hopkins University. It is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants on earth. It has been shown to reduce free radical damage and inflammation at the source. In just 2 capsules you get the equivalent of approximately 3oz of broccoli sprouts!

In my stories I am sharing more of the amazing benefits of Sulforaphane and in my bio I have linked a blog post and detailed review of all of Mara Labs amazing supplements

If after doing your own research you are interested in trying BrocElite or one of their other supplements you can save 10% with CODE: WholeLovelyLife which NEVER EXPIRES and can be used every time you purchase!

Happiest of Mother’s Day to all the amazing mom’s out there. Blessed to be mom to this super fun kid (and a puppy mom to my sweet Luna) and to have the most amazing mom who never stops inspiring me.🤍
