My Cat Had Gastrointestinal Lymphoma: Saying Goodbye to Adah

By
On June 6, 2026, I lost my cat Adah. I'm still in shock, still crying on and off, and honestly still reaching for her out of habit. She was 8 years old and had been by my side for 7 of them. Writing this is hard, but I know it's something I need to do, because if you're searching for information about feline gastrointestinal lymphoma or trying to figure out what comes next after losing your cat, I want you to know you're not alone. I've been right where you are. Adah wasn't just a cat to me; she was like a daughter. She was the one who helped me survive losing my Maltese dog back in February 2019. I got her at the end of March that same year. She was actually my first cat ever. And somehow, without me even realizing it, she became the center of my world. I had no idea that choosing her would be one of the best decisions of my life or that letting her go would be one of the hardest. ⚡ Key Takeaways 🐱 Feline GI lymphoma is the most common c...

Meaningful Easter Books for Children [Storybook Bible]

By

Easter is just around the corner, and if you're like me, you're probably thinking about what to put in those Easter baskets! Candy is always a hit, of course, but I also like to include gifts that have a little more lasting value. This year, I've found two wonderful book sets that I think are perfect for sharing the true meaning of Easter with the little ones in our lives: The Jesus Storybook Bible and My Little Library of God's Great Love.

The Jesus Storybook Bible and My Little Library of God's Great Love - side view

These books, all by the talented Sally Lloyd-Jones and award-winning illustrator Jago, have resonated with many. They have a way of making even the most familiar Bible stories feel fresh and exciting for kids. What I really appreciate is how they consistently point to Jesus and God's incredible love for us. And with Easter being all about that amazing love and Jesus' sacrifice, these books feel especially fitting for this time of year.

Disclosure: I received these items free in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are 100% my own.

Hop into Easter with Heartfelt Stories

The Jesus Storybook Bible has been a go-to for families for over a decade, and it's easy to see why. It doesn't just retell Bible stories; it shows how every single story, from the Old Testament to the New Testament, whispers Jesus' name. It helps kids understand that Jesus isn't just a character in one part of the Bible, but the center of God's entire story of salvation—and of their own stories too!

Discover the Easter Story Within

If you’re looking for the heart of Easter in this book, turn to pages 306-313. Here, the story of Jesus' death and resurrection is told in a way that's both gentle and powerful for young hearts. It focuses on God's never-stopping, never-giving-up love, which is the core message of Easter. Imagine placing this book in an Easter basket, opened to these significant pages. It’s a beautiful way to share the true joy of Easter morning.

More Than Just Stories

What sets this Bible apart, in my opinion, is Sally Lloyd-Jones' beautiful writing. It’s engaging and easy for kids to understand, yet it’s also rich with meaning for adults reading along. The illustrations by Jago are simply captivating, bringing the Scriptures to life on every page. It’s a book that kids will want to read again and again, learning more about God's love each time. It's truly a gift that keeps on giving, making it an ideal addition to any Easter basket for children up to the 6th grade.

My Little Library of God's Great Love - side view

A Little Library Overflowing with Love

For the littlest ones in your life, My Little Library of God’s Great Love is an absolute treasure. This isn't just one book; it's a set of four sturdy board books: Loved (based on the Lord's Prayer), Found (inspired by Psalm 23), Near (reflecting on Psalm 139), and Known (also from Psalm 139).

Four Ways to Share God's Love

What I love about this set is how it breaks down big concepts—God's love, his presence, his care—into simple, digestible messages for babies and toddlers. Each book focuses on a different aspect of God's love, using lyrical text and beautiful illustrations that are perfect for little hands and eyes.

Imagine these four little books nestled in an Easter basket. It’s more than just a gift; it’s an introduction to the comforting truth that they are deeply loved by God. Whether it’s the reassurance of being Found like a lost sheep or the comforting nearness of God described in Near, these books offer gentle reminders of faith that even the youngest children can grasp.

Perfect for Little Hands

These board books are designed with babies and infants (ages 0-4) in mind. They are the perfect size for small hands to hold, and the durable pages can withstand enthusiastic turning. The messages are inspiring, reminding kids of God’s constant love and blessings. This set makes a wonderful gift for a new baby, a baptism, a first communion, a birthday, or just as a special read-aloud during the Easter season.

Make This Easter Meaningful

This Easter, why not add something truly special to those baskets? The Jesus Storybook Bible and My Little Library of God’s Great Love are more than just books; they are gateways to understanding God's incredible love story. They are gifts that can help children connect with the heart of Easter in a meaningful and engaging way.

I truly believe these books are wonderful tools for parents, grandparents, and anyone who wants to share the most important message of all with children: they are loved, always and forever. You can find these beautiful books and bring them home for Easter by visiting Amazon. Trust me, these are gifts that will be treasured long after the Easter eggs are gone.

50 Exciting Mods to Enhance Your Sims 3 Experience

Remember the good old days of The Sims 3? That game was a total game-changer when it hit the scene back in 2009 — and it's still one of my favorite games of all time! It took everything we loved about The Sims 2 and cranked it up to eleven. Let's take a quick trip down memory lane and see why The Sims 3 still holds a special place in our hearts, even with The Sims 4 out there. The Sims 3: Why It's Still Awesome Picture this: You're controlling your Sim at home, and suddenly you decide you want to visit the park across town. In The Sims 2, you'd have to sit through a long loading screen. But in The Sims 3? Bam! You just walk or ride right over. No waiting, no fuss. That open-world concept was mind-blowing at the time, and honestly, it's still pretty cool today ( yes, I still play occassionally ). The Sims 3 also lets us get super creative with our Sims' looks. Remember spending hours tweaking every little detail of your Sim's face? And don't even get...

200+ Must-Have Mods for The Sims 2 (Ultimate List)

The Sims 2, while a classic, can feel a bit dated compared to newer games. However, with the right mods and custom content (CC), you can breathe new life into your game and make it even more enjoyable. I've compiled a list of must-have mods and a few CC items, many of which I personally use and love. They add so much variety and personality, and many even fix pesky bugs. So, let's get modding! © A Little Bit Of Me Important Notes:  Some of the graphics and UI enhancement mods are not needed for the 2025 Sims 2 Legacy Collection since this version  is already optimized for modern hardware as detailed here . Clean UI and Starship UI (mentioned below)  already include multiple UI improvements ( e.g., custom loading screens, widescreen CAS, and improved family tree ), so you won't need to install additional mods for those things. The TS2 Starter Pack ( a completely free version of The Sims 2 available on Github )  already comes with numerous graphics and UI optim...

The 12 Eureka Moments Every Couple Needs for a Lasting Connection

I've been married to my husband for twenty years now. We hit our big anniversary this past November. Even after two decades together, I can tell you that marriage isn't always easy. We've got five pets and five outdoor cats who visit almost every day, so our house is full, but sometimes our communication feels like it's hit a wall. I'm sure you know the feeling where you just keep having the same old argument over and over. It's like being stuck in a loop, and you can't find the exit. Note: This is an original image; AI was only used to "clean" up a small part of the image. I recently got my hands on a copy of Dr. Emerson Eggerichs' new book, Lightbulb Moments in Marriage . You might know him from his famous book Love and Respect. I was really excited to check this one out because I love a good book that's pretty to look at. This one has a clean, white cover with bright yellow highlights that really pop. It's not just a nice-looking b...

He Calls You By Name: Scripture Made Personal for You

There's something about seeing your name in print next to a Scripture verse that stops you right in your tracks. I've read the Bible my whole life, but I'll be honest: it's easy to skim over familiar verses like they're just beautiful words on a page. When I got my personalized copy of the He Calls You By Name devotional, though, something clicked differently. Suddenly, that same verse felt like it was written just for me, because my name was literally right there in it. This isn't your typical devotional book. He Calls You By Name (also known as HCYBN) is a unique, personalized experience that weaves your name through over 100 passages of Scripture, turning well-known verses into something that feels deeply intimate. I couldn't wait to share my honest thoughts on it, because this is the kind of thing that can genuinely change how you connect with God's Word.
