One of my favorite quotes reads, "We don't stop playing because we grow old; We grow old because we stop playing" - George Bernard Shaw. So growing up as a big kid, I had always pictured having children of my own. It wasn't until I became an aunt that it all started making sense as to what my role was here on this Earth. Overtime, I've learned that blood relation doesn't automatically make you an aunt nor does it have to be through your actual family. Whether you're an adopted aunt/uncle through your friends or you if you have a blood relation to nieces and nephews of your very own, it's through your actions and involvement in that child's life that earns you that title. Who knows, maybe you'll have some much needed fun along the way! Join us and come play as we dive deep on being a full time aunt on this month's latest blog!

Mental Health Matters but in turn can be a tricky puzzle to figure out for any human. Some of us may experience a daily struggle to feel like our heads are above the waters of depression. Some of us may experience an overwhelming feeling of anxiety and/or panic throughout our days. And some of us may feel like we're doing pretty great having just a handful of those days when that feeling of darkness starts to creep in. Every single human is made differently and so every human needs something different to be able to stay in a place of good mental health. Laura gets personal about navigating her own mental health journey and what it taken to find that infamous happy place away from all the chaos.

Dogs have proven to have such a unique way of connecting to the human soul and for children who struggle with autism or a variety of special needs, it can make all the difference in how they can connect with the rest of the world. It's organizations like Merlin's Kids that aim to make those connections happen across the nation in turn prompting the question "who rescued who?". We explain just why Merlin's Kids was chosen as I AM HUMAN The Movement's next featured organization to receive a 10% donation.

We took a quarantined trip to The Gorge for Bryn's 29th birthday! We may have found a fashionably comfortable home in the woods but a trailblazing cat found us as we hiked and rope climbed our way to the top of treacherous Sunset Point. Celebrating birthdays may look a little different this year but we sure made the most out of our time in a home away from home at "The Aldo".

7 animals under one roof?!? Our blended fur family aims to keep a healthy balance between 5 dogs and 2 cats, but it does require some daily effort that only a true dog lover can enjoy. It wasn't until I had a dog of my very own that I truly understood the bond between a human and a canine companion. But having a pack of 9 can come with its hairy challenges. We give you the ins and out on just how easy running a zoo in your home can be when saying no isn't an option for the adoption of yet another animal.
