In my last post I shared a "You are My Sunshine" printable. I'm working on some letters for the girls' room. Here are some other letters I've finished, feel free to use them if you want, I will be adding more soon!

You are my sunshine..printable
So I have been thinking of redoing Goose's room. Well, actually a few rooms, and hers is one of them! I want some new things to hang on the wall, the artwork that she used to have stayed in the room that is now the "nursery". She currently has letters for her name, but not much else, soooo I've been playing around with some ideas. I started with one that says "You are my sunshine" because I've sang that to her since she was born! I decided to offer some printables of what I've been playing around with! You can get it here I am working on more and will share them as soon as I finish them! ♥

Toby Cat..a celebration and shout out..
As you read in my goodbye post, I lost my dear sweet Toby Cat. He was my best friend. A furry companion. Even being the mess I am, I knew I needed to do something to remember him. To have (for me) and to respect the life he lived. I looked ALL OVER for some kind of memorial stone and they were expensive or just not what I had in mind. I found petmemorial.net, went to their site and they are amazing! I got just what I wanted and they were so great to deal with. They were fairly priced, and as heartbreaking as it was to have to find (or even need) a stone in the first place, it is beautiful. It's perfect for Toby and I love it. It really truly is beautiful. If you need one, or know somebody who does, I couldn't recommend these people enough.
And now to celebrate my handsome Toby Cat..
Isn't he handsome?
I miss him more and more each day it seems...

Teacher Appreciation!
My girls are getting so big! We had an event at Goose's school today, and I am one proud mama. She is so big, she will be 6 next month! This is almost as insane as Little Bear being one! They are both a constant amazement to me, doing and saying so many funny things!
Today was the last day of teacher appreciation week at school and we gave these to her teacher and assistant.
It's a full size hand sanitizer and we traced Goose's hands and wrote Thank You and You deserve a Hand! Very easy and so cute. I got the idea from a pin I saw on Pinterest and the teachers loved them!
Her teachers truly are amazing, she loves them. I'm working on end of the year gifts for them as well, which I will be sharing soon!
I hope you remember to say thank you to any amazing teachers you know, they are a huge influence in our children and a great teacher is priceless!

Goodbyes are never easy...
I've debated heavily on posting this post. It's much much more personal, but it's a glimpse into who I am.
My heart is heavy as I write this post...maybe heavy is not the right word, because, that implies that my heart is whole, and it is most definitely not.
It's been one week since I had to say goodbye to my beloved Toby. He was a cat that I had for 11 years. He was so much more than a cat though...he really was a furry little human and didn't really behave like a typical cat. He was my best friend and has seen me through my entire adult life..good and bad..I got him when Pants and I started dating. He saw me through graduating, our relationship, moving away from home and in with Pants...the start of my adult life. My marriage, anniversaries, pregnancies, the birth of my babies....he was always a constant. He was and is a big piece of my heart. To say I am having trouble with his unexpected passing is not even close to describing what a mess I am. I knew he couldn't live forever but I really thought we had more time, but isn't that usually the way it goes? It was so sudden and with no warning, at the vet in November they told me he was healthy and they wouldn't have guessed his age! I miss him terribly, he was a huge part of my daily routine and it's the little things that set me off. The pet aisle at the store. Not having him on my bed at night. Going to feed him out of habit and not having a dish to fill. Little (big) things.
I am aware that most people simply don't understand. They think he was just a cat, or that I can get another cat. Reality is that is simply not true. Perhaps you think I'm a crazy cat lady, or that I'm overreacting, or maybe you have been in my shoes (if that is the case, I am SO sorry) either way, it isn't easy. It's been a hard couple months. We've overcome a lot and were back in a good place when he passed away. Why when it rains does it pour? It's a question I can't answer but... we are gonna keep on keepin on and remember the good, and soon, perhaps you will find us at the end of our rainbow...
