Today is World Cancer Day. In the fall of 2025, my b**b tried to kill me. I always knew I had killer t**s, but not like this!
My first-ever mammogram led to a breast cancer diagnosis, a whirlwind of appointments, and a double mastectomy—all to make sure I get to see my kids grow up!
Currently in treatment and running on coffee, chaos, and the world’s best support system.
PSA: Get your mammograms. Don’t let your b**bs be drama queens like mine. 💗

Looking back on 2025 I can confidently say that buying a giant container of rainbow sprinkles was by far the best decision I made all year!

I kissed Abel goodbye for the very last time yesterday.
He was a black lab mix with the heart of a guard dog and the bark of something three times his size. He let everyone know when they were on his turf—neighbors, delivery drivers, leaves blowing by—nobody got a pass.
But behind all that noise was a dog who loved his family fiercely. He was gentle with his kids, loyal to his core, and filled our home with more personality than seemed possible for his small frame.
Abel was a jerk sometimes. He was also ours, and we loved him completely.
Rest easy, buddy. The neighborhood just got a whole lot quieter!

Honored to be a sponsor of the 2025 Palette to Palette event at 🍂 From the golden grasses to the autumn blooms, 🎃 and especially the incredible dahlias. 🌼
We absolutely loved creating floral arrangements that celebrated the season throughout this beautiful event.
Cheers to art, community, and the beauty of fall! 🎨🧡

First frost murdered my dahlias, so we gave them a proper funeral dinner. 🪦🌸RIP to real ones. See you next spring.
