Rooted in Trefoil to Rooted in Sand

Real quick, just want to say my piece that family for me is anyone who holds value to my life and/or has been placed in my life at such an integral point in my life and seen me through. I have no "blood" family (yet), and that doesn't mean you and yours is more "real" than mine. To state such falsifying things really shows that even in your 40's, you are still ignorant and hateful. I feel sorry for you that you cannot accept what is. I hope you grow out of your hate and move on with your life and leave me and mine alone!! Besides, why would I come for a visit to be verbally insulted and degraded to my face, when I'd rather enjoy insults on Facebook? Don't be daft. Trust, you don't want me to visit and I truly don't want to see your face. I wish your parents raised you better b/c there are people in your family who have welcomed me with open arms and have been loving and kind. They certainly did the best they can, but sometimes even loving pa

Tyler and I don't do missions all the time. As avid shoppers, we've always been about getting the best deal on the best product as are most people these days. Well, this year we threw that out the window, and swiped our cards left and right regardless of cost. Why, would we do that!??! Had we lost our minds? Did we win the lottery? No, we did it because it was the right thing to do. So let's back track real quick, when buying items that give back be sure to check your sources. I initially pondered buying from TOMS.

Nothing wrong with them, just wasn't up our alley or interests. We were looking for something different, more family or individually owned, no big name or big reputation that a company of massive size had to live up to for the sole purpose of making sure their warehouses stayed stoc

DECEMBER 1ST IS HERE!!!  🐧🎅🎄🎁 Ready to spread some holiday cheer! I love this time of year. In all seriousness, this is truly my favorite time of year. Baking, giving, snuggling, and so much more. I am still a kid at heart when it comes to the holidays. I have very specific routines when it comes to Christmas and decorating. Over the past five years I've had to compromise on some of those routines b/c I live with a guy who honestly is not a decorator by any means. He's my own personal Grinch.  The house is MOSTLY decorated, but this year we decided to give away our tree to a family that really needs one. Which while very generous, it gives me the excuse to buy a brand new one next year. I like new. So no tree this year, we shall enjoy the tree my mom put up when we get home to MD.  The girls, are enjoying the "cooler" weather right now. Mosa(aka Maya) is poofing out a bit more. Her undercoat is getting thick. She looks so funny when we put her collar
