If you saw our post from a few weeks ago, you woul If you saw our post from a few weeks ago, you would know my family (Danni) decided to foster a dog while everyone was now at home for a while. . Well it didn’t take long for this little guy to steal our hearts. We have made things official and have adopted him into the clan. . His name from the shelter was Loyal and that he is. But we felt he was more of a Milo. . . . #hadusathello #fureverhome #fosterfail #fosterwin #dogslife #aarcsrescue #aarcs #yycdogs #yycpuppy #over40blogger #yycblogger #yycinfluencer #calgaryblogger #midlifeinfluencers #dogfamily

I wanted to get a family picture of our kids at th I wanted to get a family picture of our kids at the table - got this instead. 🙄 We had a discussion at our dinner table last night that we haven’t eaten this many meals together as a family in 15 years. Our oldest is 20 and when he started hockey at 5 it was the start of the “after school” activity and the end of many family dinners. Then came gymnastics, skating, dance, boxing - getting in one family meal a week was a miracle. In early 2020 with 2 adult children and one away at school, I thought family dinner was now obsolete. Funny how things work out... The positives of isolation with teens and young adults. 😌 . . . . . . #familydinner #familytime #lifewithteens #momofteens #momtoteens #momlife #mommablogger #middleagemom #teen #love #teenagers #youngadults #parentingteens #raisingteens #staypositive #motherhoodintheraw #happymom #icookweeat #italianweddingsoup
