Disney Fantasy Cruise Nassau and Lookout Cay Sharing a recap of Disney cruise #1! Disney Fantasy to Nassau and Lookout Cay. Check out all of my top Disney Cruise tips in this post . Hi friends! Happy Monday! How are you? I hope you’re having a wonderful start to the week. The kids are off for spring break (bless it) and we’re looking forward to planting all the things – the weather has been gorgeous – in addition to pool time with friends. We wanted to take a big trip but P said she was, “traveled out” (does such a thing exist?!) but after giving her some days to chill, we’ll probably go to San Diego for a night or two. Today, I wanted to share a recap of our latest Disney Cruise. It was lucky #7 and it was an amaaaazing one. I never thought I’d be a *cruise person* but here we are. I LOVE IT. It’s a great opportunity to see parts of the world with your kiddos without having to schlep your stuff to multiple hotels. You have the same hub each night, with entertainment, food, and love...

The Senior Cat Checklist: Changes After Age 10 and How to Support Ten is the age most veterinarians use as the unofficial threshold for “senior cat.” It’s not a cliff, as plenty of ten-year-old cats are energetic, playful, and in excellent health. But it is a meaningful marker, because the decade that follows tends to bring gradual shifts that are much easier to manage when you see them coming than when you’re reacting to them after the fact. This isn’t a doom-and-gloom list. Most of what changes after ten is manageable with some adjustments to routine, environment, and how closely you’re paying attention. Here’s what to expect, and what to actually do about it. Their Metabolism Slows Down — and Weight Becomes a More Active Conversation Younger cats can often eat freely without much consequence. That changes with age. Senior cats burn fewer calories at rest, and the muscle mass that helps regulate metabolism gradually decreases over time, a process that affects cats just as it doe...

3.14 Friday Faves Hi friends! Happy Friday! How was the week? Ours… sucked the life out of me lol. I’m so glad it’s the weekend! The Pilot has been traveling a lot, so I was doing to solo parenting thing and Liv had her Junior High show, plus P’s basketball and their insane amount of homework. Flowers for Liv: Our weekly stop at Chilln for nitrogen ice cream: (my go-to is Nutella almond milk ice cream with Reese’s) Now, it’s spring break, we’re chillin’ and I’m so glad! We were planning on leaving for a big trip this morning but decided to wait. (We were going to non-rev and flights to Paris were wide open.) The kids are pretty burned out and tired – P said, “Can we please stay home?”- so we’re giving them some extra time to relax. We might head up to Sedona for a couple of days but other than that, we’ll just be hanging out here at home, meeting up with friends, and going to the pool. I’d love to hear what you have going on! 3.14 Friday Faves Fashion, beauty, random: Jeans f...

Easy Enchiladas with Rotisserie Chicken These easy enchiladas with rotisserie chicken are great for meal prep and are always a family favorite! Hi friends! Have you ever craved enchiladas but are intimated by the recipe process? I feel ya. Enchiladas seem like they would be a lot of work, but take my word for it, they can be quite easy to throw together with a few shortcuts. It’s one of my go-to crowdpleaser family meals; the girls go wild for them. These enchiladas with rotisserie chicken are my go-to for weekend meal prep . I make a large tray or two that can be stored in the fridge or freezer and cooked up during the week. They also make the perfect meal to bring to friends or family who need an extra helping hand (new baby, feel-better food, etc.). A couple of tricks I swear by to make enchilada making easy are 1) don’t make your sauce (but if you want to, here’s my recipe ), and 2) buy pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. We usually serve the enchiladas with rice, beans, and big ol...

Bright Hair and Mental Health: What the Research Really Says About Scroll TikTok for five minutes and you’ll see it: electric blue bangs, neon green underlayers, pastel pink all over. Unnatural hair colors have become a mainstream aesthetic, not just a subculture signal. But a claim keeps popping up in comment sections and viral posts: people who dye their hair bright, non natural shades have higher rates of stress, anxiety, depression, or emotional instability. Where does this idea come from, and what does the research actually say? One of the most cited pieces is a 2022 observational paper in the Psychreg Journal of Psychology called “Blue Hair and the Blues: Dying Your Hair Unnatural Colours is Associated with Depression.” The authors analyzed a large dataset of online daters from OKCupid, roughly 14,000 profiles, and reported a statistical association between having an unnatural hair color and higher self reported depression or mental instability, even after controlling for sev...

The best ceviche recipe (with cooked shrimp!) Sharing a quick, easy and super delicious ceviche recipe where you actually cook the shrimp but preserve the perfect texture. This recipe is ideal for an spring or summer BBQs or dinner parties! Hi friends! How are you? I hope your week is off to an amazing start. I’m still working on my Disney cruise recap post – should be up Wednesday! – but for today, I wanted to share a DELICIOUS healthy appetizer recipe: ceviche!! Ceviche is a classic and especially good during the summer. It wasn’t something I make often at home, but my friend Kathryn brought it over last summer and we all devoured it. It was fresh, beautifully flavored, and so so delicious. When we had family dinner last night, I knew it would make a perfect appetizer. Here’s the deal, though: “cooking” the shrimp in lime juice freaks me out. I know it’s the common method for making ceviche, but I know too much about parasites lol. Yes, the acid from the limes can turn the color...
