Nature is the only reason I’ll exercise.
I’m sure a gym is great and all but… have you ever spent an hour-long walk narrating your local bayside pelican’s chat-fest?
Go touch grass or sand (or crushed oyster shells, in this case) 🦪 #thirdcoast #wellnesstips

The wiggly thing on his face? Nsimba is still working it out. It flops. It swings. Sometimes it cooperates. Mostly it doesn't.
His mum Naipoki fell into a well twice as an infant. We raised her – and now she's brought her baby to meet us.

Highly recommend teaching your kids how to bake the hardest recipes in grandmas drawer (the difficulty here is bc you have to learn what a rolling dough feels like 😅 & bc you roll out dough w/ a rolling pin + cut out a million cookies, as thin as possible…) // recipe is at least 140 yrs old

The neighbor’s dog (Annie) comes down to my in-laws place every night to sleep // not too surprising as my MIL had outfitted her with a down mattress under all those blankets 🤭 I’m sure she’s a wonderful bird dog… but she’s trying really hard to be an inside cat at this house 😍😍
