It was a very difficult week for our family. We said goodbye to our sweet Lulu, who was with us for 13 years on this earth. I still remember the day I took him home and all of our adventures in between. He was like a tiny blonde ball of fluff with the sweetest little face you’d ever seen. Lulu suffered from numerous health problems that started ...

I don't always stay on top of everything that needs to get done and my endless to-do list, but something I think I've perfected as much as I can is my morning getting-ready-for-work routine.
