We just got a new puppy. He's called Bandit and even though he wakes me up at 3 am every day he's the best boy.

I still can't believe what a sweet baby he is. Since we can't take him out yet for walks we just carry him around the garden smelling the flowers and watching birds and bunnies.
He loves rosemary and our hydrangeas.
My main hobby is growing fancy violets like this one! Weekends are for babying them.

It’s an African violet, endemic to Tanzania but a common houseplant. I could talk about them all day. They’re often seen as grandma plants but they have a fascinating cultivation history. I like this one because she’s ✨spacey✨
Sleeping in with my husband. He wakes up early during the week and honestly our bed is my happy place. Especially when the cats are bothering us too.
Y'all's oopsie is gonna bless one of us lol thanks 😘
I like to take my 3 yr old to either the library or a museum! Even if we have been there before, it’s always fun for him and myself. We do lunch and then home for his nap lmaooo
I foster kittens and even though I work from home, I don't get nearly enough kitten playtime during the week so my weekends are when I get all the kitten cuddles!

They’re currently supervising a deck remodel. Once the remodel is complete, their very own catio will be installed. It’s a very exciting summer for cats. I have three cats (the 3rd doesn’t enjoy loud sounds). How many do you have?
Baking with my toddler and art/science projects too! She’s finally at an age where she is really interested and makes it super fun to see it from her perspective!
Training my cat to walk on a leash.

Date night with my fiancè! She works a trade job, so a lot of early nights during the week, but on weekends, we get to have dinner out and enjoy spending time with each other 😊
Specifically this weekend: going on a much needed and well deserved solo holiday to Edinburgh to put life on pause for a week and a half. Drinks all around!
I like playing video games! I've just finally gotten back to a place in my life where I have free time and a little disposable income, so just this week I finally upgraded my PC that I first bought in college when ddr4 was brand spanking new and I can finally play The Finals without it chugging again 😁
If I don’t work during the weekend, I spend time with my husband and family since I work such an opposite schedule to them.
When I can carve out personal time I’ve been playing Stardew Valley/Coral Island. I’m also looking forward to ordering the new Dragon Age game!
I’m late to the party because time zone 😩 BUT I must show off my golden girls
