The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

Happy Saturday, everyone! 😊

Bella and I had a pretty chill day—well, as chill as it gets when the wind is practically trying to sweep you off your feet! 🌬️💨 We actually slept in until almost 7 AM (which is late for Bella, lol 🐶), and then we headed out for our morning walk. Let me tell you, it was super duper windy! I’m pretty sure there were a couple of moments when Bella and I were nearly airborne! 😆 But even with the crazy gusts, we got to enjoy yet another breathtaking view of the moon. 🌕✨ It’s been putting on a show all week, and I finally managed to get a somewhat decent shot of it this morning! 📸 It’s not easy capturing its beauty in the dark, but I did my best and had to share it with you all.

The rest of the day was a mix of relaxation and adulting—because, unfortunately, groceries don’t buy themselves 🛒 and laundry refuses to wash itself (rude, right? 😂). If only I could train Bella to handle housework! 🐾🧺 Now that would be a game-changer. But between errands, I made time for a cozy combo of Netflix 🎥 and my current book 📖, which was much needed after a long week.

🍽️ Dinner Experiment: Success-ish!
Tonight, I decided to try something new! I bought some frozen salmon fillets 🐟 to try for the first time. I baked them in the oven with a Dijon mustard and garlic rub and paired them with roasted Brussels sprouts. 🥦🔥 I’ll be honest—I’m not the biggest fish fan, so I was a little unsure. But it actually turned out pretty good! The Dijon was a bit strong for my taste, so I might tweak the seasoning next time. 🤔 Any suggestions for a milder rub? I’m open to ideas!

For the rest of the night, we’re keeping things low-key. 🛋️💤 After a rough week, I’m soaking up all the relaxation I can get! Hope you all have a wonderful weekend—stay cozy, stay warm, and if it’s windy where you are, hold on tight! 💨💕
