Anyone else feeling overwhelmed with life, back to school, house work and everything in between?

I feel like all the parents, teachers, and the world in general is pretty stressed right now. I'm not sure if it's something in the air or what.

But! If you have something to celebrate, no matter how small it is, please share it below and let's celebrate together!! Mine is getting some chores and things done around my house finally.

Apparently today is international dog day! So let's appreciate some of our pups! And seeing cute dogs makes any day better!

Buzzy (our ol coonhound and Tesha (my aunt and uncle's pup) are in the video from last year playing and enjoying all the space 🥰 Buzz was such a great dog but also had some ol man energy and grump to him. He passed away this winter and I still sometimes call our new dog Buzz. He was not a cuddler but could be bribed with the right snack.

Ezra is our newest addition and honestly he's wild but I'm so thankful we got him. I was checking out local dog foster and adoption groups while in the hospital with my dad, and shortly after he passed we got him. Not the best timing for puppy energy but he was a great reason to get outside every day and was always up for snuggles. He's growing like a w**d but still loves cuddles and brings so much joy to our family. And some "Omg seriously " moments, like dealing with his allergies 🤣

Do you have any dogs you want to brag about? Add them in the comments below!

Stay and listen for a moment 🥰 there is something so relaxing about being in the forest with a water fountain.

We were in BC last week with friends and family and had the best time!

As a kid, my grandpa's neighbour taught me this! I made so many butterflies 🦋 💓

They also used to complain about the other tenants together, bring each other food they made, just chat. She was great!

You know what drives me a little crazy? The recent trend of "make your own paprika with bell peppers".

Please stop 🤣🤣 a hill I will die on is that in our house we only have Hungarian smoked paprika. Its like calling a jalapeño and a bell pepper the same thing 🤣 it's not.

Do you have a spice / flavour hill you'd die on? 🤣🤣 I want to hear them all and to know I'm not alone.
