Yesterday I realized that I do the exact same thing every morning. My dog Marty wakes me up around 5:30. I let him out, make coffee and then either read or watch a documentary on Netflix. I’m an morning person, so I try not to wake the rest of my family who is definitely not.

I’ve been watching Dark Tourist. It’s really good, if you need something to watch.

When Marty comes in, he knows he gets a treat and will not let you forget.

He then gets his bone, tries to bury it under the rug, realizes he can’t, so he puts it against the wall so he can guard it because he just knows the cat is trying to get it. Every. Day.

When Donny wakes up we decide what we’re going to do for the day. He grabs coffee and goes and checks on the garden. He loves the garden. It is a mobile one and he grew it from seeds.

And I finally have flowers on my morning glories that we also grew from seed.

When the kids wake up we normally go for a walk. It’s been rainy so lately we’ve had to go between rain showers.

I am not a huge fan of shopping. I know what I need, try to find the best deal I can and get it. I needed a pot to grow my pineapple top in. I was pretty sure I could find one at Ollie’s. We hadn’t been to this one since it had opened, but I managed to find the perfect planter and for a steal.

Natural Grocers is right next door. Have you tried the Mad Hippie skincare line? I love it. It’s not too expensive and works really well. I was out of my vitamin a serum and picked up some night cream too.

How great is that packaging?

Winding down the day, I make dinner. We’ve been trying to eat cleaner and lighter. I’ve stopped doing heavy side dishes. Sometimes we don’t even have sides. Tonight I made a bacon, onion and cheese frittata. We just had watermelon and pineapple for sides. Super easy and everyone liked it.

I had made a big batch of berry sauce to go with pancakes for brunch. There was some leftover, so I baked a pound cake to use the rest of the sauce. Turned out like a scone and although if you let the sauce absorb into your slice it was ok, I wouldn’t use the recipe again.

But the sauce was delicious!

I can’t wait to see what today brings ❤
