    All Things Dog Treats

    My fiancé and I both grew up in houses with labradors. Our love for dogs is very apparent in our everyday adventures, especially now that we have Duke. Duke is our 8 month old Charcoal Lab, who we got in SEP2017. To say it was an easy feat convincing my fiancé that we could handle a dog is a lie. I literally begged for Duke for years.

    Weekly Meal Prep

    Happy Sunday! Mornings at our house tend to start earlier than most. Our puppy, Duke, finds 5:30 AM wake up calls to be the thing these days; yes even on the weekend. Coffee has turned into even more of a must. While I find myself sipping my coffee I am here writing to you. Jotting down my thoughts and advice to keep your life moving in the forward direction. Weekly meal and house prep used to be a thing I dreaded. Don’t get me wrong I still dread it at times even though we have a, for the most part seamless system in place. I have found over the years…
