Happy FriYAY! What a week. For once, it feels like it flew by. Tomorrow, I’m co-hosting a wedding shower for a college friend and I’m so excited! The rest of the weekend will be spent looking at some houses, cleaning and hopefully getting some yoga in. What do y’all have planned?

Last week I purchased a dog razor from Amazon and it arrived on Monday. Y’all, who knew shaving your dog was so easy? I’ve been paying like $70 twice a year to get Gundy shaved and honestly, I hated doing it. You know you’re a dog mom when you get anxiety leaving your dog at the groomers…I blame the constant horror stories I always heard of dogs getting hurt or getting away. Trust me, I know of all things to have anxiety about, it sounds ridiculous. But now I can do it alllll by myself and save money! (Before photo on the left, after on the right)

On Wednesday I received my second infusion of Remicade. So far, I’ve done really well with it and have felt a lot better. I haven’t had any major side effects, other than feeling like I got hit by a bus the day after.

Now for the reason y’all clicked on this post, the jambalaya recipe I teased on instagram earlier this week! It’s simple enough for weeknights and lets be honest, that’s the most important part. Hope y’all enjoy!
