From Today’s farmers market Loot. Herbs, dill, oregano, rosemary and basil. Watermelon radish, Rhubarb, green onion, citrus.. not pictured a loaf of noble bread and local honey for the family. • I left with feeling inspired by food, and all the produce. I’ve ALWAYS been intimidated by RHUBARB so I never used it- today I finally went for it, now to think up some desserts! Any suggestions?? • • • • • • • #thefeedfeed #goop #imsomartha #chasinglight #thecookfeed #f52farmstand #f52grams #cookit #sodomino #pursuepretty #mycommontable #southwestisbest #farmersmarket #eatlocal #bareaders It’s never too early for a cookie pick me up right??

He’s back at FULL speed, and THEN some. It’s been 3 days FILLED of..... -Stealing shoes -licking the food off the cutting board -stealing the cereal out of the cabinet -playing fetch -ripping up ALL the recycling (boxes, egg cartons, you name it) -nocking over not ONE BUT TWO side tables in the living room -stealing food from the counters -climbing UP on work tables LETS SAY Mr. Pongo is WELL and good compared to LAST week. couldn’t be MORE thrilled, even though we’ve been cleaning A LOT of MESSES we wouldn’t have it any other way. 🐶 🦴 We can’t thank YOU enough for All the messages and SUPPORT, CHEERING us on. MR. PONGO thanks you too x 😉 • 🐶 PS I’ve been on a hiatus this week due to what’s been going on with Our PUP, BUT have so many things coming YOUR way and can’t wait to share x : : : : : : #makeportraits #puppiesofinstagram #gsp #gspofinstagram #tellyourstory #verilymoment #dslooking #mycommontable #thehappynow #puppylove #imsomartha #thatsdarling #momapproved #livemoremagic #communityovercompetition THESE lemons in a box laying on the SIDEWALK labeled “free”. I Stumbled upon them during a quick walk to clear my head. It was odd to be on our path without MR. PONGO, it felt a bit UNEASY. Odd I know, but when I saw the LEMONS I become hopeful. I thought bring ON the PAIN, find STRENGTH through the PAIN. Then I started to imagine MR. PONGO running down the street, STRONG, healthy, HEALED. Those uneasy feelings settled. 🐕 🦴 TRUTH: It’s been ROUGH 5 days. Late nights, early mornings. LOTS of EMOTIONS. TEARS, and Anxiety. The UNCERTAINTY of will he make it TODAY? We’ve been by MR. PONGO’S side every day, every hour, nursing him back to health. HE is SUCH a FIGHTER and think he’s on the MEND! 🐶 🍋 Thank YOU for all the sweet TEXTS, DMs and KIND COMMENTS which have been getting us through!! THANK YOU FOR CHEERING HIM ON!!! 🍋 🦴 What is something Hard you are finding STRENGTH through PAIN right now BIG or SMALL? : : : : #f52grams #communityovercompetition #thebakefeed #heydearmakesamess #hellospring #bareaders #healthyish #realtalk #livemoremagic #f52farmstand #goop #foodstories #thecookfeed #rslove Mr. Pongo from our first day we got him. He’s so BIG now. But yet still the same. Cliche or not this little guy has changed my LIFE. He softened my heart, and he has become a true companion. 🐕 🦴 When I realized he hadn’t tried to TAKE my shoes, or the bananas off the counter or even bring me his leash for our walk I knew something was wrong. 🐶 🍌 We took him to the VET, they tested for Parvo Virus and he came up positive. What seemed like decades later, we decided to bring him home to treat him here. We felt like having him stay alone for 72 hours in a cold dark room ALONE would make matters worse. The vet explained he may not make it if we BRING HIM WITH US, BUT we thought We have to TRY, we started the care plan, and it’s been up and down and all the In between. There have been some really GOOD signs so Far, but still unknown. 🐶 I’ve been hesitant to share this raw moment BUT THEN I thought WHO CARES??, it’s real, it’s what’s going on and HE’s part of our TEAM. And...maybe putting out into the universe YOU could send him a little love while we nurse him back to health and get through the Next 72 hours?? Who’s with us? : : : : : #gspofinstagram #gsppuppy #mycommontable #makeportraits #communityovercompetition #tellyourstory #verilymoment #helloweekend #puppiesofinstagram #chasinglight #realmoments #theuniversehasyourback #thehappynow #heydearmakesamess #momapproved Happy Sunday! we’re Brunching (again). Avocado toast, with cilantro, garlic, salt and some green hot sauce. Sunny side up eggs, and all the prosciutto. You should try it 💁, it will change your life.. 🥑 🍳 We’ve been brunching all week, because Why NOT? It’s been marvelous and most chill spring break a girl could ask for, lots of outside time, cooking and spring cleaning. It’s the last day of Spring break and I’m going to soak up every last second, What do You have going on this Sunday? : : : : : #thecookfeed #thebakefeed #healthyish #bareaders #momapproved #mycommontable #cookit #huffposttaste #feedfeed #f52grams #helloweekend #foodstories #imsomartha WINTER CITRUS still showing off. Hoping to get COOKING this week once I come out of my little editing cave. We are on spring break and doing LOTS of NOTHING too. What about you? Big plans for the week ahead?? 🍊 PS THANK YOU, for all the support in the last POST.I have to say it was a VULNERABLE one, and YOU sure know how to make a gal feel good. Happy Monday to YOU x : : : : : #springforward #citrus #imsomartha #thatsdarling #foodwinewomen #bareaders #livemoremagic #desertlife #foodstyling #thebakefeed #thecookfeed #thekitchen #rslove #feedfeed #f52farmstand #goop #huffposttaste Selfies in park bathrooms for the win. I had this whole self portrait planned for today. An attempt at something profound and meaningful, maybe artistic, since I felt I lost with that lately. MY day changed, instead selfies in the bathroom. I’ve been working on a personal project of snapping self portraits of myself in front of mirrors, to BUILD SELF confidence clothed and unclothed. It’s an experiment, the GOAL look at myself and say DANM... and (maybe a suggestion by my oh so talented therapist )it’s SLOWLY Working. • Me, well honestly I didn’t have much makeup on, my eyes swollen from “cream” I just tried, hoping to feel 25 AGAIN. ONLY to realize I like 32 a whole LOT BETTER. It was bright so the shades stayed on, maybe I was trying to be Diane Keaton instead of myself for the moment- which honestly felt good. Truth is WOMANHOOD is MUCH like that, trying on ALL the clothes on before the right one fits only to REALIZE it was the WHITE shirt, BLACK pants and BLAZER that was most comfortable. All in all, HAPPY WOMENS INTERNATIONAL DAY! Shout out to ALL those BAD*** women paving the paths!! cheering you all on PS.. maybe YOU should take some more selfies in bathrooms too.. it actually is quite nice thank you for listening RAMBLE OVER xox : : : : : : #dianekeaton #makeportraits #selfie #postthepeople #helloweekend #chasinglight #southwestisbest #verilymoment #thatsdarling #honestlymothering #motherhood #heydearmakesamess #desertlife #livemoremagic #internationalwomensday
