I love my office.

Ned's Birthday!

Today Ned is 10 years old!

I was NEVER a cat person until I met Ned. He put his little face on my thigh and looked up at me with those eyes that said "will you please be my mom" and I couldn't refuse.
He's had my heart ever since.

Circa August 2000
Ned and his sister Nellie used to ride around in my apron until they got too big to fit.
They'd bat at each other and play and take naps while I puttered around the house.

It's extra treats for you all day fur face!

Yes I am a total dork for blogging about my cat's birthday and I couldn't care less.
:)

Have a super duper day my friends!

For the birds... again!

You remember how last Thursday was for For the Birds.

Well yesterday ended up being for the birds again!

The day started sweetly enough with Ned all tucked in. He was uncharacteristically the last one out of bed. What I didn't yet know was that he was getting up his strength for a full day of bird watching that turned to bird hunting! Arg.

The real irony is that while Cliff was feeding baby birds at his weekly volunteer shift at the wildlife shelter.
Ned was hunting baby birds.
And I was saving baby birds.

It was the life cycle in full bloom.

A nest fell out of a tree and Ned was picking them off one by one. Of course I didn't discover where they were coming from til he trailed in with the 3rd bird!
So by the end of the day there were 4 in the mouth of a Ned and I was able to save 2.

One I drove to my love at the shelter.

So I saved it and he is nursing it back to health. C'mon now that's some good team work!

The other I was able to put in the bushes, put Ned on house arrest and when I came back the birdie was gone so I am hoping he found his way home to his mamma.

Good things to know about baby birds:

*It's not a bad thing to see a small song bird on the ground this time of year. They spend a portion of their pre-flight weeks hopping around on the ground. They don't need to be "saved."

*If your kiddo (be it human or fur faced) brings one in the house and it appears to be wounded or sick take the bird to your local wildlife rescue in any container where air can readily get in. Don't attempt to feed or treat them, it increases their stress and they are less likely to recover.

*If the bird appears to be fine (and the threat is gone AKA the cat) you can return them to the bushes.

Hopefully you are just enjoying chirping birds and not a bird parade through your living room!

Pug Love

You asked for it, you got it.

Here are more picts of Kallie's new little love IGGY.

You should know that he's super fast...

he loves his monkey...

sometimes he looks like a smart old man...
he loves exploring in the grass...

he boasts a modest wardrobe...

this is his sweet little "who me?" face...

though water fountains are not his favorite thing ever he's a brave adventurer...

he gets plenty of love from Aunt Kayla...

and he humors my incessant picture taking!
He's pretty much the cutest thing ever!

Kallie got her tonsils out yesterday so I am sure IGGY is loving on her extra today.

I love you sweet sister!

In Studio Work Day!

Hi All!

Ned and I are in my studio today working. Ned is giving it to a piece of orange grosgrain that had it coming!

I'm working putting together my first group program in between coaching calls today and of course puttering, re-arranging the details in my studio and working on a few love gift projects.

I've done health histories with many of you that have felt a group program would suit your goals better than a one-on-one program so I am putting it together!

Coming late July I will start offering PHONE BASED 6 month nutritional coaching group programs. If you have a group of women that would like to participate or you would like to join a group program email me at lacylike@gmail.com and I will send you all the details as well as the Early Enrollment and Referral pricing for the group.

We will meet at the same time, roughly two weeks apart for 12 sessions. Groups offer significantly lower pricing then the 1 on 1 program, additional support and the opportunity to have greater accountability and the potential to make some forever friends! There's something magical about being a part of a group and watching the collective grow and thrive together.

Did you know that most of my work is phone based so it doesn't limit geographic areas? I'd love to work with you in a 6 month 1 on 1 or group program!

I've had some major moments of gratitude this week watching some of my dear girls go through the bull shit and heartache that cubicle corporate life serves up. This work is so powerful and every time I hang up the phone or hug someone good-bye from a session I feel full of gratitude that THIS is my life! So with all sincerity, thank you for allowing me to live out this corner of my best life through supporting you to reach your health and wellness goals.

With so much love!
Lacy

p.s. I need 6 more health histories for school (i'm almost done! weeeeeee). If any of you would be so kind as to help a girl reach her credential I'd be ever so grateful!

and pps. If you ever need a referral for Integrative Nutrition I'd be delighted to share my experience with you... just in case you ever need to break free from that cube.

Prepre to fall in love!

We have! Meet Iggy. He was one of my little sisters HS graduation gifts.

The little head tilt at 00:25 just melts me! He's such a cute dog!
Hope you had a wonderful Memorial Weekend!
I wish that weekends always came in packages of three.

Lacylike Latest

I got new MOO business cards and I love them! It defeats the purpose to just keep them in the box and look at them right?

And here's how all my 'photo shoots' usually go at some point...

Jotters are still the hot item coming out of my studio. Here are a few of the latest.
Remember to Live Outloud and Think on Paper (it's the lacylike way)
Wink wink, couldn't resist!

My Mema sent us the coolest coffee bag from one of her thrifting finds! I'm in love! There is so much that I want to do to our home but it has to be free or cheap these days and this new addition is making me so happy! Thank you Mema!

Hope that you guys are enjoying the sun! Ned certainly is!

Off to yoga.

Sweetness

My gf sent my a love box and in it was a cd with this song. I've been listening to it on repeat in my car over and over and over. It's just so sweet!

And my mamma sent me a love box with this rug that SHE MADE for me! Every time I walk past it I say out loud I LOVE THIS RUG! and I will hear Cliff from the other room say ME TOO!

This would have been so cute if it wasn't blurry! Ned loves it too.

Send someone some sweetness today!
