Love is wonderful. Life is amazing.
My name is Kathleen and my world is incredible.
I'm married to a superhero named Justin. He goes on adventures with his trusty sidekick, Riley the Wonderpup, while the cats and I provide support from our secret, underground lair.
We rescue kittens from trees, help turtles across the road, save the world, and still make it to bed on time.
We even have a secret handshake. I bet you can't guess what it is.

What a wonderful Mothers’ Day!
I got to spend time with family that I’ve missed so, so much! My elder cousin, Mary, (who was practically raised as my sister) was back from college. My aunt, uncle, and younger cousin, Steven, were all able to make it over as well! That alone was reason to celebrate, even if it wasn’t Mothers’ Day!
We decided to have a nice, low-key barbecue and had a lovely time. We bounced around ideas about our upcoming redesign of the back yard, we had a delicious grilled lunch, talked about our futures and plans for the summer and the upcoming year. I’ve longing for get-togethers like this for so long! It was a nice little slice of the South I’ve been missing and right in my own back yard.
Unfortunately, during Riley’s “let’s burn off some energy before our guests arrive” walk, his collar broke. (Cue me lunging at him dramatically, even though he hadn’t noticed he was free from my control.) I caught him just fine, but it was clearly time for a new collar! So, after everybody left, I decided to spoil my puppy as a pseudo-Mothers’ Day gift to myself! So he has a pretty new leather collar and an appropriately sized name tag, since I hadn’t ever gotten around to replacing his itty-bitty puppy tag! The new sound of his tags jingling is going to take some getting used to!
Justin surprised me with the best Mothers’ Day gift I’ve been given yet! I’m not quite ready to share it, though. So, it’s filed away as another “secret to blurt out accidentally” and I promisepromisepromise, Internet, you’ll be among the first to know when I am ready!
