WE went to the humane society “just to look.”

And came home with TWO dogs. 😂🐾

Sally and JoJo have brought plenty of love, laughter, and let's be honest a little mayhem into our lives.

But they also reminded me of something I've learned after 25+ years as a dietitian:

Real change takes a plan, support, patience, and a willingness to embrace a little mess.

I wrote all about adopting healthy diet change and two pups in my newest blog:

Foment a Little Mayhem 🐾

Special thanks to you, hot crowd, that got out of the A/C and smelted with us at last Saturday!🥵 I made the pumpkin bread recipe👩‍🍳 from my Kasey Lobb into super yummy pumpkin chocolate chip muffins! 🎃 ⁣
⁣
While it was sweltering even in the shade all morning, that wasn’t enough for us! 🔥 so we headed on over to the late-afternoon step-off or is it march-in? to deplete even more electrolytes, enjoy our white belts, and hob-nob with other sweating parents. It was a actually alot of fun 🤩 ⁣

Important updates on 𝗦𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗝𝗼𝗝𝗼… 🐕JoJo absolutely refuses to share beds, kennels, toys, or treats with anyone. 🐶Sally did not get that memo and is committed to rain love and affection down on all who come her way 💕⁣
