It’s Been Too Long!!

Oh, well, hello there friend! Yes, this is Emily you aren’t dreaming!  Mercy…where do I even begin here?

It’s been too long since I have blogged, and goodness, that makes my heart break a little.

So let me fill you in.

I hate to give the lame “busy” excuse. So let me think of another…

We’ve just been doing life together. How’s that?

Family Beach | Decorchick!®

And when you are doing life with multiple people at the same time all day every day, things are bound to get cray-cray right?

I miss you though!!!

My husband and I both work from home which is awesome, and we both homeschool our kids. YES, the youngest started Kindergarten this year can you believe it?!!! I sure can’t.

So you would think I would have all this time in the world to decorate and do projects but honestly, it’s quite the opposite. (insert laughing/crying emoji) Just think about 3 prepared meals every.single.day. and alllll the snacks. That’s sort of my life right now.

Our days are filled with school, gymnastics, dog walking, dinner, bedtime, repeat.

OH YES, I said DOG!!!

We got a freaking dog y’all!!

Louis the goldendoodle | Decorchick!®

If you follow me on Instagram you already know this. His name is Louis (pronounced Lou-ee) and he’s an F1b Goldendoodle. He is GORGEOUS and SUCH a good boy and it’s like I gave birth all over again in these first few months with him. When people say that getting a puppy is like having a newborn baby, they aren’t kidding.

But I couldn’t imagine life without him. Seriously, he’s an amazing now 1 year old who is smarter than humans I think. He has some VERY human-like characteristics it’s kind of scary. Like, he really loves hugs.

So what else?

OH! My blog got a much needed update and I love the simple clean design! Thanks babe! If you are reading from a reader, click on over and visit the site! I hope you love it.

Our small home business is going great, and Randy is busy as ever with his music gigs.

I DO plan on writing more because well, I’ve never been one that doesn’t have an opinion or something to share. :) And I am excited to get back into it!

Life is good and we are blessed and I have no complaints! Other than I missed you and hope you are doing well!!

So tell me…what have YOU been up to friend?!

xxoo

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
