THE THEME One of the primary reasons we wanted to move to Louisiana was so that we could be close to our grandchildren and centrally located to our other kids. We wanted our house to be the gathering place. So we bought a home with 4 bedroom house with plenty of comfortable space for adults…
Bleu’s Blues {How We Discovered Her Heartworms}
My sweet girl has heartworms. Her treatment started a little over a month ago, when she was put on Doxycycline, an antibiotic, to prevent infection from bacteria that inhabit the heartworms. She took one pill a day for about 30 days. Sometimes, she’d take it in her food, but most of the time we gave…
Happy Gotcha Day!
Y’all, I can’t believe Bleu has been with us for a year now. I have to give a big ol’ shout out to The Hubs for, once again, knowing what I needed before I did. Cheers, LET’S CONNECT
Where Bloggers Live: My Community
The hand of a sweet woman who was showing me flowers that had fallen to the ground… Hi, welcome to my neighborhood… I’m so excited to show you around Alexandria, Louisiana. Specifically, this is a tour of the neighborhood where I work. We relocated to downtown Alexandria about 6 weeks ago and it has…
Where Bloggers Live: My Home
Welcome to our home. Moving to Louisiana has been a bit of a homecoming for us. The Hubs and I met when we were stationed at Fort Polk, about 45 minutes away from where we live. You can read about our first date here. When we found out we were moving here, The Hubs and…
Welcome, Bleu Chrys! Our Rescue Pup!
Hi, I’d like for y’all to meet Bleu Chrys. Isn’t she adorable? She’s a 13 month old Terrier mix and she has already stolen our hearts. If you’d like to see more of Bleu on Instagram, follow her hashtag #BleuChrys. It sounds so trite to say that our rescue rescued us, but she really did.…
Goodbye, Squeekerz
My family and I used to joke about making a plan for Squeekerz’s “after Tucker care” because we thought he’d outlive us all out of pure spite. We were wrong. On Saturday, 13 July 2019, we said goodbye to our hairy toddler. Squeekerz was a lot of personality in a small package. And I’m so…
My Home Office
When we first moved to our new house, I’d planned to make my office upstairs but Squeekerz had other ideas. He’ll be 18 this year and going up and down the stairs is incredibly difficult for him. For the first few months, I carried him upstairs whenever I needed to work, but – if you…
Throwback Thursday: First Snow
With the cold snap that’s gripping the nation, I thought it’d be fun to share a picture from my first snow. We were living in El Paso, Texas at the time, so I think my twin sister and I were about four or five and my younger sister was about one or two. Notice how…
Guest Post: “Nobody Wants Koolaid” by Brie Tucker
This a monologue-type response to an article my mom wrote that I performed for my speech class today. It’s called Nobody Wants Koolaid (alternatively, “Things I Learned When I Moved Out”) and I wrote it about twenty minutes before it was due. Go me. Yay college. My mom wrote an article for a magazine the other night.…
