My boy Bruiser was hospitalized last week and I ha

My boy Bruiser was hospitalized last week and I had to make the difficult decision to let him go. Saying goodbye to him was one of the hardest things I have done, but he went peacefully in my arms. ⁠
⁠
When I asked to peek inside an overburdened animal shelter’s leukemia room, it broke my heart. It is where they put the animals with no chance of adoption. In fact, only one girl would feed them because it was “just too sad.”⁠
⁠
Bruiser came straight to me, climbed up my body and hugged me tight around my neck. He wouldn’t let me go. They had to peel him off me. (pic 1)⁠
⁠
The room was the size of a bathroom. It was small, dirty and depressing. There were 12 cats stuffed in there and Bruiser had been in that room for 2 years. ⁠
⁠
I was in no position to adopt a cat with leukemia and my husband strictly said no more animals. ⁠
⁠
But a month later, I couldn’t stop thinking about him and went back for him. I knew he wouldn’t live long, but I wanted him to know the love of a family. ⁠
⁠
The second video is the moment we were reunited. From that day, he never left my side. (continued in comments)⁠

Spent a few days with this dapper gentleman in Vermont, our home office. ⁠
⁠
Do you listen to ambient music while you work? I am loving Chronicles of Narnia Winter Woods Music & Ambience - Relaxing Music with Sounds of Winter on Youtube. ⁠
⁠
Around the holidays, my friend Victoria at @prepfordwife shared a link to Harry Potter music on youtube and I am hooked! ⁠
⁠
If I listen to music with words, I start singing along in my head and can't concentrate. This is perfect!⁠

Did you know that you have to cross the longest suspension bridge in New England to get to Newport?⁠
⁠
An icon of the state of Rhode Island, the Claiborne Pell Bridge, commonly called by locals Newport Bridge, is an important gateway to one of the most beautiful, historic cities in America.⁠

The Chanler is a mansion turned hotel with a great location at the starting point of the Cliff Walk. During the winter months, they set up an outdoor hot chocolate bar. Adults have an option to spike theirs.⁠
⁠
You can either sit on an Adirondack chair looking out over the ocean or stroll down the Cliff Walk. This paved walkway goes 3.5 miles where you will have mansions on one side and crashing waves on the other. It is my favorite part of Newport.⁠
⁠
One thing I want to mention is that the hot chocolate is decadent by adult standards, but may be a bit thick for children who are used to a packet of Swiss Miss.⁠
⁠
At $13 a cup, it is pricey and none of my little ones would drink it. Maybe start with one cup to share and see how they like it. Pouring out $70 worth of hot chocolate was pretty painful.⁠

We had a great time at Gurney's Resort and Marina. This might be a new Christmas Eve tradition for us! The crowds were low because everyone was at the mall doing last minute shopping. It was so nice to know that everything was done and we could sit back and enjoy the holidays together. ⁠
