Today is National Make a Dog’s Day (if you haven’t Today is National Make a Dog’s Day (if you haven’t heard of this day before, neither had I until a few days ago 😂)

I have two amazing doggos and one always gets a spot on my feed (lol I clearly have a favorite). So today, my wild child gets the spotlight. My shadow, my snuggle bug, warm chocolate blanket. 

Someone please tell me when chocolate labs calm down 😅🤪

“But what about your legacy?” - such a funny quest “But what about your legacy?” - such a funny question to me. 

I’ve caught myself feeling like choosing not to have kids means I have to leave something else behind to make up for it. Build something big. Help more people. Have something impressive to point to. 

And truly, that sounds exhausting and IS exhausting. 

I, of course, want to do things I’m proud of. But I also like the idea that a full life of love, friendships, and ordinary happy days is enough on its own. 

Does leaving a legacy matter to you? I’m curious how others think about it, with or without kids! 

(I also wrote about this topic on my substack, Happily Offscript - link is in my bio if you want more light reading 🥰)

I was told I’d change my mind when I met the right I was told I’d change my mind when I met the right man. I met him. Now there are two of us wondering how long we can stay in bed before the dogs jump on us. 😂

I love being married to someone who’s just as happy with this version of our future.

What’s an underrated perk of not having kids? Give me the oddly specific one that never makes the lists. 👇

My 30 to 34 challenge is complete, and I’m proud of it! 
Even with the missed days, late-night walking pad sessions, and very ambitious hydration plans.

Heading into 34 with a better idea of what works for me, a few habits worth keeping, and zero plans to spend every evening chasing a step count. V V happy to be done with this challenge 😂

34 today 🥹🎂 Usually you’re supposed to keep your 34 today 🥹🎂

Usually you’re supposed to keep your birthday wish a secret, but I have 34 and would like the universe to have them in writing.

Some for me, some for the people I love. Quite a few that I hope come true for you, too. 🥰

You all are welcome to take some for yourself as well 🤍
