This week has been focused on giving our new foste This week has been focused on giving our new foster pup Vanna lots of love! We tell her she’s even more beautiful than Vanna White - a pittie, pittie princess! 

Vanna’s previous owners had to surrender her to a shelter when they became homeless. My heart absolutely breaks for this family and all they have lost. I’ve been reminded this week how much some people in our community are hurting right now and how much need there is for those who can to give back. If you’re someone who has a little extra right now, consider lending a helping hand to someone who needs it!

Vanna is available for adoption through @freedomride.rescue. She is the sweetest, easiest dog we’ve ever fostered. About 6 years old, 30 lbs. She’s looking for a warm lap to snuggle on and DEFINITELY deserves it! 🐾

Eeeek! So excited to reveal Part 1 of my socially Eeeek! So excited to reveal Part 1 of my socially conscious living room makeover! I’m working with Kelly at @gratify_home (2nd pic!) to completely redesign my living room in my new house while using sustainable and ethically made furniture and decor. Check out the blog for our first steps: honing in on my design style (see some of the guiding keywords Kelly came up with for me here in this photo!) and defining functionally for the room. There is also a freebie guide from Gratify Home with tips for y’all if you’re wanting to do some decorating yourself! 

I hope this post is especially fun for y’all after the ugliness of this week....escaping into Pinterest and home design has been one of my sanctuaries when things have gotten too anxiety-provoking or overwhelming, and I hope maybe I can help do the same for you! Link in bio.

Things you get excited about as an adult: fresh pr Things you get excited about as an adult: fresh produce. 😂 I just signed up for a produce box subscription and am STOKED about getting my first box next week! The company primarily includes surplus or “ugly” produce in their boxes, which is both super sustainable and allows me to get yummy organic veggies for less money!

Anyone else craving all the veggies after the holiday sugar and cheese rush?
