First time in a crate going to her first vet appointment…and chewing on the crate.
Trying to work with a sleepy puppy.
Olive, Day 25
Author Archives: Jen
Well I thought I was taking fewer Olive photos.
Just a normal Sunday
Heading out to celebrate Evan and Aiden’s 8th grade graduation with dinner at Primo!
Perfect egg chair reading day!
1:22pm — started a book!
3:17 — about halfway finished!
I ended up finishing it in bed that night! I remember the good ol’ days when I’d read a book a day. I love getting to do it again!
Sleepy puppy, big snacks & play date
I might not have looked at how big the bully sticks were on Amazon.
Visiting with Honey again. Olive LOVES her.
Giving some love to colors I rarely use!
Today I’m giving some love to some shadow colors that I rarely use…but that are surprisingly good!
From the permanent line, Mulberry ShadowSense! From the Limited Edition colors, Fiery Coral Shimmer and Wind Shimmer ShadowSense!
They looked a little crazy together on my hand but once they blended together it looked great! And over overlooked Wind Shimmer for way too long—it’s amazing. I’d use it in place of Sandstone Pearl Shimmer in a heartbeat and it has a little bit of duochrome-ality to it!
Gymnastics is paying off!
So this is happening.
I saw this at Binny’s yesterday when I was getting stuff for Tom but didn’t grab it. Three boys (Tom and David) went back for more things so I had then grab it… because how could I not?!
It was VERY strong and honestly not my favorite.
Olive, Day 21
She’s so regal-looking here.
She found that napkin on the deck and proudly carried it under the chair and sat on it. I went to take her picture and caught her right as she started to bark at me.
She met Anna’s mom!
And Honey!
Owen’s final 7th grade band concert
They are fun to listen to…but it was a good half hour too long (due to the teacher talking so much about irrelevant things).
Olive, Day 20
Her first dandelion fluff!
I’d do this manicure again!
Today was nail day! I wanted five totally different colors and I swear they looked different on the sample color boards but on me they look closer than I’d like. Oh well, I still like them and I’d totally do it again.
Olive, Day 19
First hot, now cold.
You never know what weather you’re going to have for baseball. We’ve had perfect weather and both cool and warm days but today was downright cold (you can’t see my blanket in this photo but trust me it’s there).
Olive, Day 18
Olive, Day 17
This is a mini soccer ball and it’s still bigger than she is!
My first lilacs of the season!
OMGGGGGGG!!! I casually mentioned to a client that anytime she wanted to bring me a bouquet of lilacs…
And look what appeared on my porch today?!
My kitchen smells sooooo good!
Olive, Day 16
I’m trying to take fewer photos… Honest.
Sorry – apparently “shorts” don’t embed.
Olive, Day 15
She loves to hide under the ottoman.
YAWWWWWWWN!
Had to post a “work” photo.
I can’t even with the cuteness. And yes, I run on lipstick and sarcasm.
Baseball has started!
I missed the first few games because of weather and Owen being sick…but today was gorgeous! And we won!
I also don’t take as many photos these days…so this is all you get!
Brick FTW!
I haven’t done a red lip in awhile so decided this was the day. I pulled out Brick which OMGWTFBBQ!! is sooooooo good and I always forget it. It’s not super bright red so it’s a little less scary, plus it has glitter in it!
So then I had to do a nice subtle eye—and I am loving Fairy Dust Shimmer with Champagne Pearl Shimmer. It’s the first time I tried it and I’ll definitely be doing it again! (It’s another Limited Edition and I do have a few on hand!)
It did feel like a tiny bit much for an afternoon kid baseball game but who says you can’t look stunning for that?
Week 2 Olive video compilation
I thought I was keeping good track of what I’d already posted but…I think I’ve doubled up on some. Oh well.
Olive, Day 14
For the moment, life is perfect. I’m in my egg chair. The weather is 75° with low humidity and it’s shady. Olive has stopped biting my toes and is cuddly. Any bets on how long this will last?
Approximately 32 seconds.

Exploring the deck!
Playing with Honey’s ball!
Playing in the grass! Well, chewing on something in the grass.
Now she’ll suddenly appear behind you!
Mom, I know you get super frustrated with me when I constantly bite your feet (and no one else’s) so I’m gonna fall asleep on you so you still love me.
And another nap…
We taught her to use the stairs today. But she liked chewing on them too much so they got put away!
Callsign: Superstar
I’ve already got my Top Gun: Maverick tickets — and I just got my call sign! I might need to rethink my outfit though.
What’s your callsign?

We caught Katie on her Chromebook last night.
There was lots of drama—and lots of crying as she lost her scheduled sleepover. This morning we found this outside our door.
Olive, Day 13
VIDEO: She has started tugging on toys! And growling!
Mom, my new food bowl is a little big. But it does make me eat slower.
Someone wanted to the sliding door today to tell us she needed to go out!
She found a piece of wood in the grass and carried it around!
Trying to get work done with Olive in my lap. It didn’t go well.
Unfortunately she loves the ottoman feet.
A rare Katie reading sighting
I told her to take a book to baseball and she did…and actually read it!
I’ll take top 25!
Olive, Day 12
Good morning, Olive! We put a Blink camera on her so we could see when she got up and started moving…and crying. She got up shortly after this to potty and then went back to bed for a bit.
She loves her snuffle mat! We toss food bits in it and she finds them!
And hiding under the ottoman.
And of course napping. (And getting used to a harness.) She’ll actually walk in on her own when she’s tired!
And she loves laying in the sun.
And sleep in weird positions.
More solar panels!
We finally have enough usage history to prove that we need the extra panels…
