About Julie

My name is Julie and I am a full-time blogger, new mama, fitness enthusiast (certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor) and food fanatic (mostly healthy... but also not-so-healthy) living in North Carolina with my husband, dog and baby boy. Thank you for visiting Peanut Butter Fingers! I hope you enjoy little glimpses into my life and have fun trying the sweaty workouts I frequently share and making some of my favorite recipes along the way!

JUNO Clean 10 Cleansing Balm

Friday is here and, along with it, some H-O-T weather. Our big kids will be playing soccer tonight in 85-degree sunshine and likely sweatin’ up a storm. Is the weather all over the place where you are? We had 50-degree days on Monday and Tuesday and then BAM. Such is spring in Charlotte, I guess….

Pepper

Hey guys. How are you? Really, I’d like to know. I’m doing okay all things considered and had some decent days sprinkled into some more challenging days.

What Has Helped Us Most

Rhett and Pepper

I cannot quite wrap my head around the fact that we are coming up on a week without Pepper. Just a week ago, we thought we had a decade plus left with our fluffy little girl. One week ago, I thought I had hundreds more walks and snuggle sessions with Pepper to look forward to…

“Something Must Be Special About That Dog”

March 14, 2026 by Julie 27 Comments

Pepper on the grass

Pepper. Pep-Pep. Peppy. Pepper-Depper. Peps. Peppy-Deppy. Our fluffy, bouncy, happy, licky, loving, teeny girl. “Something Must Be Special About That Dog” After I shared the news of Pepper’s passing, I received a message from one of you that said, “I remember when you got Pepper, I thought something must be very special about that dog…

Losing Pepper

Losing Pepper

I’m sitting down to write this blog post with tears that won’t stop falling, the biggest pit in my stomach and a sense of disbelief I cannot overcome right now. Pepper passed away yesterday and I am reeling and struggling in a way I cannot put into words. She was my girl. Our girl. Our…
