Perfect early fall weather in North Carolina for Market Sunday! One of the hardest decisions is what bouquet to choose! Perhaps my top influenced the decision. Black Quince lines pants, 30”, are an easy choice.

We found our vase at a consignment store. Another easy decision since we have glasses and a decanter from the same line (wedding gifts from 1999!)

I love keeping things simple. And having a home & closet full of easy decisions that stand the test of time.

One week post op for our senior golden after eyelid surgery. Loving his soft e collar so much! He got compliments at the vet. And if you travel with dogs in the car - even just to the vet & back - you need one of these backseat extenders. Game changer for their comfort.

#LTKTravel #LTKPets

Some things taste better like coffee from the percolator, pancakes with fresh blueberries, bacon without nitrates and collagen peptides that add hazelnut flavor to your cup!

And breakfast tables just look prettier with fresh flowers and a pretty vase.

Sweet boy is feeling good this morning! At the kitchen table giving puppy dog eyes for blueberry pancakes & bacon.

My grab & go office essentials have made traveling downstairs to be near my pup while he heals so much simpler! Great for airplane trips, road trips, or just a new spot in the house. 😉

My two seniors are *loving* this addition to their food. And while I’m currently making their food, we would totally use this on their kibble. Great for digestion for dogs & cats, but also great for picky eaters or enticing those who aren’t feeling well & refusing food.

Hard plastic cones are not breathable, stressful when accidentally impacting hard surfaces like door frames, walls, and furniture. Soft inflatable collars do not protect reaching some wounds. And with 2 weeks of protection needed, we chose this soft e-collar for our sweet senior. We ordered the XL for our golden.
#dogmom

#LTKPets

Are you a pet obsessed parent? Ours are loving this new addition to their food!

#LTKPets

Ride with me to the grocery store! Picking up ingredients for a new batch of dog food. I’ve been sharing that journey on TikTok. We just started making their food about a month ago when one of our senior pups was sick & refusing his kibble.
And now that he’s recovering from surgery, there is a hidden benefit! Easy medication administration. 🐾💛

Sharing my reusable shopping bags. Look alikes to a dressed up classic, denim blouse with a ruffled tuxedo collar. And my current RayBan sunnies.

Our sweet thirteen year old had surgery on his eyelid and needs two weeks of recovery time. While his veterinarian’s hard e-collar is very much in use, we are letting him rest on his inflatable collar when we are with him. We’ve had this one for years and it’s held up very well (other than some golden fur). We have the size large. Pawsitive thoughts for our sweet boy’s healing are appreciated. 🐾💛

#LTKPets

FYI If you aren’t already using your mixer to shred chicken…

Our sweet boy is having surgery today & likely won’t be able to get on our bed for s few days. So we’ve been looking for the perfect bed for him - and his sister. If you’re looking to upgrade your pup’s bed, look no further!
Orthopedic, washable, bolstered, soft, waterproof liner, non-slip, roomy.

Personal post: while my full time career may have come to an unexpected early end, I continue to work with children online. For a few years I’ve had the honor of coaching collaborative problem solving sessions with children from around the world. 🌎💚🌍💚🌏 It is such an amazing opportunity - not only for the children but the team of adults supporting this mission. 🚀✨

One dress, endless destinations 🌎
From brunch to boardwalk strolls — this organic cotton poplin dress from Quince does it all. Lightweight, and endlessly wearable — this dress is my go-anywhere favorite for effortless style.

Personal post: I unexpectedly was offered an early retirement this summer due to restructuring in my agency. For many reasons, I chose to accept it and that is how I landed at LTK.

I began content creation on a wider public scale in August. Back to school season & I was not going back for the first time in 27 years. So I decided to learn something new by creating on TikTok. Which led to being eligible for TikTok Shop, then accepted as an Amazon affiliate, and then being accepted as an LTK creator.

So now, instead of sharing with my colleagues at school, I’m sharing here.

As a teacher married to a firefighter I know the value of a dollar and hope you’ll find my intentional, affordable, sometimes adorable recommendations helpful. Thank you for being here. 🫶🏻

Rise & Shine! Toughest decision this morning was how to make my coffee. I went with the percolator. Which would you choose? Drip, French press, or percolator?

#Amazon #AmazonFinds #Morningroutine #coffee #collagen

Fresh ground beans and a scoop of Live Conscious just released Hazelnut collagen peptides. So good! And so good for your hair, skin, nails, and joints.

Have a beautiful day friends!

If you’re looking for pockets in active wear, this is for you. Most linked here are available XS-3X. Pockets are a non-negotiable for me & I bet they are for many of you. I can always count on Calia for stylish activewear with pockets.

And if you’re an East Carolina Pirate girly (or know & love one), I found the cutest sweatshirt! 💜💛🏴‍☠️

What did we do today? Well we took almost everything out of the garage and got rid all the cobwebs. Loaded some things up for donation, took some out for curb alert, tossed a lot. Then reorganized! Need to do the same? Here are some of our garage essentials available on Amazon.

Calia’s Cloud Cover color is a beautiful creamy neutral. I’m a 5’8 woman over 50 and while I don’t mind short running shorts, for more casual out and about, I want a length I can feel covered in. These do just that!
And the same for pants, at 5’8” I’m not a tall, but regular length pants often hit too high. But these tapered pants are a great length! Thanks Calia!

Need a mid sized tote bag? Love a monogram? Canvas and leather? This is the perfect solution! I saw it, added my monogram online and sent a screenshot to my daughter for her opinion. And? Got it for a birthday gift! Sweet!

I am carrying the small in Ivory with Navy Niagara font. This carry-it-all tote is crafted from a durable cotton canvas, featuring a cotton lining, leather accents and an abundance of pockets for all your essentials. Snap the magnetic closures on each side to make the tote sleeker and more compact when you’re traveling lighter. Add an embroidered monogram to make it yours.

And as usual some Loft, RayBan, and still love the ric rac slides from Draper James.

🐾My pups need fresh food so hoping to find some meat that’s been reduced this morning.

🦮We started making their food a few weeks ago when our senior boy was sick & refusing to eat. No problems now, they love meal times!

🦴Do you make your own dog food? I’ve really been enjoying the process.

#LTKFindsUnder50 #LTKOver40 #LTKPets

👻Boo! How can you resist these cuties? I’ve linked Halloween & Fall items on my porch that are available. And a few that are similar to my well loved, no longer on the market, items.
🎃Buying products that will settle comfortably in the attic & still be cute for a few spooky seasons is valuable to me. 🕷️And much less scary for my budget!

I didn’t start drinking coffee until I was in my 30s. I was teaching, in grad school, selling a house, planning a new build, raising children with vastly different needs (balancing a competitive dancer and a child with OT, PT, SLP appointments), a sick senior pup, and a husband who worked 24 hour shifts.

Now I can’t imagine going a day without it! Life is calmer but there is something so comforting about a cup of coffee. And here are the products we use for a fresh cup every day! We rotate between drip, French press, and our favorite - the percolator! Plus beans from our favorite coffee shop. Purpose in every cup.

Sharing for the 2nd time here on LTK - One person liked the one 1st one, so this one’s for you! 😉

For the last few months on my socials I share what I bought & what I spent with our regular grocery routine. While our diet & grocery budget isn’t perfect, it’s pretty good if I do say so myself.

I don’t know if the LTK crowd is into this (still so new to sharing here) but I’m happy to cross post if so. Your likes will help me know if it’s of interest.

Also, while I’m here I’ll tag my reusable bags. I adore the print but the real winner is the organizational ease & capacity.

I’ve recently struggled with getting comfortable at night—our mattress was just too firm. Adding the Avocado 3-inch organic mattress topper completely changed my sleep. And it’s sad when my husband was sleeping more comfortably at the fire house than at home. The natural latex has this perfect balance of support and cushion, so I am no longer waking up with sore hips or shoulders. I also love that it’s made with certified organic materials—no chemicals, no off-gassing, just clean, breathable comfort. It feels cool through the night, and honestly, it’s like giving our mattress a whole new life. If you want eco-friendly comfort that really makes a difference, this topper is worth it.

We’ve started making our own dog food after a health scare with one of our senior goldens. And I’ve got to say, our mixer has been a trooper! We don’t do a lot of baking at our house, but love this bad boy (called Bob at our house) for all the other kinds of mixing & shredding he does.

Our dogs are loving meal time & meal prep time knowing they are also getting their home cooked meals!

You don’t have to get a KitchenAid but ours has certainly stood the test of time!
