Life Lately
I finally get to visit the grandbabies this week. It’s been too long! We were on vacation, then we caught some kind of cold and weren’t able to see them the week after we got back and then they went on vacation!
They return this weekend, and I’ll go visit for a couple of days. I miss them soooo much!


Ocean, sunshine, and ice cream. All the things that make up a perfect vacation for littles.
We’re still working with Penny on her severe separation anxiety. We work with a trainer twice a week. One of those times she comes to our home, and the second time she picks Penny up in a little “doggie school bus” and takes her for group training with several other dogs. Aren’t these pics adorable? Penny is the smallest of the bunch!



We laughed so hard after her first session, because this is how she came home. Looks like a day well-spent in nature with a pack of other dogs, doesn’t it? 🤣 🐾


We use a Fi Collar to keep track of Penny, especially when she’s out and about. I love all the reports it gives us. And, in the unfortunate situation that she might get away from us, it makes it easy to track where she is. Amazon has it for a great price, plus you get 6 mos of monitoring for free!
In Case You Missed It…
These Framed Vintage Valentines were my mom’s and I love decorating with them. So easy to do with vintage Valentines or valentines from your kids that you want to save.
Also, there’s still time to do a little last-minute Valentine’s Day shopping. I’ve got a few gifts bags made up for the Valentines in my life, all ready to go. ❤️ We keep it simple for Valentine’s Day around here, but I like to do a little something for my sweethearts.
