Just a couple weeks ago I introduced you to our newest cat, Lilly. We were 90% sure she was pregnant by then. I held off on saying anything about it because she was going to the vet on July 26th for a prenatal check and I wanted to make sure everything was OK before “going public”.

I also know that never leaving the house messes with my mental health in serious ways. It’s truly a mixed bag. One thing that… Read more »
We made it! 2020 is in the rear view mirror and good riddance to bad rubbish. I’ve never been big on New Year’s resolutions. Most of them are doomed to fail because they are either too lofty – i.e. the couch potato resolving to go to the gym every day – or too vague – i.e. resolving to something like… Read more »
Everything is better with bacon. That’s just a fact. And today is the day to celebrate that! Almost any sandwich can be improved with bacon. They are a tasty addition to salads and cheeses.
