It’s cleaning day! Rather, cleaning weekend.

Friday night kicked off garden winterization, lawn clean up, and holiday prep. Today is craft/garage destash day.

Definitely time to let go of old crafts and hobbies that I’ve been hanging on to. Lots will be going to friends or donated so if anyone is looking for anything in particular - let me know ASAP!

🐾 Do you care for community cats? Help them stay warm this winter!

Animal Alliance of Greater Syracuse (AAGS) is hosting a Community Cat Shelter Building Workshop to help prepare the community cat colonies of Central New York for the cold winter months ahead.

If you care for outdoor cats, join us to build shelters that provide a safe, dry place for them to escape the winter weather!
📅 Saturday, November 14
⏰ 10 AM
📍 2132 W. Genesee St., Syracuse (Westvale Plaza)
💲 Suggested donation: $10

Please register by Saturday, November 7 at https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/aags-community-cat-shelter-building-workshop

We’re also collecting supplies to build the shelters:
18- and 30-gallon totes with secure lids and no cracks
Straw
Styrofoam sheets or coolers
Zip ties and duct tape

Every shelter can make a difference for cats living outdoors this winter. Help us give community cats a warmer, safer place to weather the cold!

I’ve been really, really wanting to check out Deja Brew in Pulaski. We finally made it up there today and they had an amazing fall market going on.

So here is this super cute hat that I designed at the Horse Krazy Designs booth! Gotta have a paw print 🐾 .

We also spent some time organizing and clearing more of the brush and blackberries on the west side of the property. It’s slow work without bigger equipment, but every step brings us closer!

This weekend!!!

Last week I came home to a huge package at my door! I was only expecting one smaller delivery (more on that later).

This incredibly generous donation arrived from Traditional Medicinals for something that I’ve been working on behind the scenes. Cause we all know I needed yet another project! 😂

Opening this box was a reminder of how much kindness is out there.

Thank you, Traditional Medicinals, for believing in this little idea of ours and supporting it in such an enormous way. We are so excited to eventually show you where all of this is going. 💚

And yes, Alani performed a thorough inspection of the shipment.

It has been a challenging few weeks. Honestly, it’s been a challenging year, but the last few weeks have been especially taxing.

I’ve learned the hard way that if you don’t choose rest, then your body will choose it for you. There have been days that I’ve barely eaten, if at all. Too tired to do more than feed the dogs and shower. I should have seen this coming, to be fair. I don’t think I’ve EVER been too tired to eat! 😂

In all seriousness…I’m still here and still working away! I’ll just be prioritizing rest for a little while so that I will still be physically capable of taking care of more seniors in the future. 💛

💕 Words have power.

That’s the message behind Kind Lips, and lately, it’s one I’ve needed to hear myself.

I’ll be transparent: I’ve been struggling with my mental health and feeling overwhelmed and discouraged. There have been moments lately when I’ve questioned whether I can really keep building this dream.

Then this box of Kind Lips showed up for a little project we’ve been quietly working on.

It may just look like a box of lip balm, but to me, it felt like someone saying, “We believe in what you’re building.”

Sometimes, knowing that someone else believes in you is enough to help vanquish that self-doubt.

Thank you, Kind Lips. I think your message found me at exactly the right time. 🫶

As I go about the house cleaning and tidying…I was thinking about all the different things that I’ve purchased for my dogs over the years.

🌳 A patch of grass from Chewy for a friend fostering a super senior who loved lying in the grass (it was too cold to be outside)

🛝 I almost bought a baby rocker/swing for Felix because he was so anxious and needed to be held most of the time.

👶 I am on my second baby bassinet for Eddy who loves having his own “space” to sleep and hang out in.

What is the oddest/most expensive/weird thing you’ve purchased or done for your pets?
