365: Dog Bath Day
Taryn scooped up Zachary today and declared they were going outside to bathe the dogs. Bath day with Maggie is always an adventure. She has to catch and eat the water. Silly lab!
365: Momma, Jonah Broke
The adjustment in dealing with a broken bone has been a little easier this time. First, because we just did this. Second, he is in a cast from the start vs a splint so we don’t have to restrict him quite as much. Third, Z is already used to being more gentle with him. Squashing the constant wrestling the first time around was tough.
On the day Jonah broke his arm, I pulled in to the campground to pick them up in the truck. Z flung open the front door to the RV and declared “MOMMA! JONAH BROKE!” Oh sweet boy.
365: Boo boo check-in
I cannot pick one photo for today. I love them both. Zachary fell and Jonah was first on the scene to console and check the boo boo. With a slew of busy boys we get lots of skinned knees around these parts.
Mom tip: I keep a spray bottle of colloidal silver in my purse and hiking backpack. It is a great antiseptic that works to heal cuts, abrasions, and wounds. It’s perfect for a little cleaning but the best part is that it takes the pain away super fast! I use a spray bottle so I don’t have to wipe or touch it because […]
365: 4 pm nap
He climbed up on my lap and fell asleep super fast. I tried to keep him awake because 4 pm nap means a rough bedtime. Nothing worked. He was out. Photo credit: Jude
Super thankful for a husband that is always willing to console a woken up too soon toddler who just wants to cry for a bit. His best trick is to take him outside. It calms him and has worked since he was just a few months old.
365: Dog vs Toddler
Her most favorite thing in the world is her bowl. It’s her lovey. She carries that darn thing everywhere and has since she was a puppy. The other day she walked past Zachary and hit him really hard in the head with her tail. He was frustrated with her, it really hurts, her tail is vicious. He took her bowl out of her mouth and put it on the other side of his lap out of her reach. She immediately got up, walked all the way around the island, through the kitchen, to the other side to get her bowl. Z spotted her, took the bowl again, got up, marched over […]
Reclaiming my Instagram content.
This post comes from a place of being a blogger for many years. I’ve been feeling….off….about my content and social media accounts for some time now. After our trauma almost 3 years ago, I all but left Facebook. It was so negative at a time I just couldn’t absorb negativity at all. I still have an account that I use to access groups, handle business related things for several businesses and I like to crowdsource travel ideas there. Otherwise, I am just not there that much. One of my big regrets is that over the course of 9ish years I’ve given them so much of my content, so many memories. As I pulled away from Facebook after the trauma, I […]
