The Adventures of Julie and Bella 2025

Today was one of my favorite days of the whole year—Dunkin Punkin Day! 🎃☕ The rain couldn’t stop me from heading out to Dunkin this morning for my very first Pumpkin Spice coffee of the season. And to make it even sweeter, I scored a package of Pumpkin Spice coffee at Aldi so I can enjoy that fall flavor at home too.

I know, it’s still summer—I’m not rushing the calendar—but I truly love all things Fall. 🍁 The weather today even gave off cozy fall vibes, which made it the perfect excuse to spend the day inside crafting, reading, and snuggling.

I worked on a few new Fall and Halloween-themed creations and even started some ornaments. I know what you’re thinking—it’s too early for ornaments! But when you’re making them to sell, you’ve got to start early. ✨

And because it was the perfect kind of day, I decided to bake some sugar-free pumpkin spice bread. The aroma filling the house was absolutely mouthwatering, and yes… I may have snuck a warm slice (or two) fresh from the oven. Yum! 😋

The only downside to today has been my sweet Bella. 💕 Her tummy has been bothering her, and we’ve been outside at least six times so far. She just wants to eat grass to settle her stomach, and she even turned her nose up at chicken—which means something is really bugging her belly. My poor baby! 🐾

If you could, please send some positive energy for her (and for this worried momma’s heart 💗). There’s nothing worse than when our fur babies don’t feel well.
