Raindrops on Roses (and Whiskers on Kittens)

Thanks to The Bouqs for sponsoring today's post.

I want to thank you so much for all the love and kind words about my sweet dog's passing. Rocky was wonderful and he's already missed so much. I've spent the past four days in bed a lot, but also trying to smile and indulge in a lot of my favorite things, like breakfast and whole milk lattes at my favorite place, followed by season one (okay, and most of season two) of Girls on HBO GO.

I am doing my best to keep myself distracted and feeling happy. I've felt at moments that I'd like to take some time away from this blog, but I also think life needs to go on as regularly as possible (spending an entire day in bed watching shows and eating gluten-free pizza is not something I do regularly, so I think I will attempt to blog instead).

So let's move on a bit. I've been really excited to share this new-to-me company with you. Whether you are sad or happy or confused or angry, flowers are always nice, right? I received a gorgeous bouquet of roses from The Bouqs earlier this week and I must say, it was nice to have it on my dinner table these past few days.

Their website is beautiful and easy to use and you know exactly what you're getting. These are Diamonds, from the Volcano collection. I've always loved roses, but I thought the little pop of white was really nice.

 

Thank you again for all the love I've received, and for your patience as I get back on my feet. And as always, thank you so much for your support as I continue to work with sponsors, especially this holiday season. It is such a blessing to have this built-in support system of friends I haven't met before, and I'm so thankful for each and every one of you.
