Free samples and friendly faces

On the way home from a stressful medical appointment, Mama and I decided to pop into CVS for a few random things and our day was completely uplifted. When we couldn’t find a particular item, we happened to meet our local store’s Beauty Consultant, Nicole Cowlin. She was so helpful and kind to us, even…

My warm little guardian

Our sweet girl Paisley kept a close eye on me today, as I felt too crummy to be productive. This cute pic is her guarding me in the bathroom, but the highlight of the day was definitely the warm cuddles in bed. Today’s #OneGoodThing was the love and support from my warm little guardian and…

Adorable neighborhood watchdog

Upon my return home from the pharmacy this afternoon, this funny little face surprised me in the window. Paisley is sitting on the back of the couch, looking out the window between the two new Amaryllis stalks growing from our wax-covered bulbs. Her look of reproach makes me giggle. I love being greeted by this…
