Help us end a family debate: If you make Swiss Miss hot chocolate do you use water or milk? Because if you pick water you, along with my husband, are dead wrong. I want hot cocoa, not chocolate tea. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

Can you tell we're very pleased to have a functional living room? (swipe for our happy dancy) Ok, so maybe we are still searching for the perfect coffee table, BUT couch ✅ wall and artwork ✅ new lighting ✅and finally are amazing new @ruggable rug ✅ #sponsored You might remember I bought a Ruggable for Miles' nursery and was so obsessed I told Michael we're only having Ruggables for the whole house and, well, that's just what we did. They are machine washable (they are made of two pieces, a non-slip pad and then a top piece that pulls right up and goes into the washing machine, which has saved us multiple times with a baby and pets) spill/stain-resistant, non-toxic making them safe for our family, and come in SO many great designs. Use the code FUNKALLIE15 for 15% off your order with #ruggable

Rest In Peace, my good boy✨ . . Many of you know our sweet girl Zoe passed away unexpectedly in July. Austin wasn’t doing that well, but once she was gone he really went down hill. They were two peas in a pod and I am quite certain Zoe was sitting waiting patiently for him on the other side. #austinthepapillon #zoethemutt
