Well hello there! I know I've tried to promise a few times that once I got settled in the new job, I would get back to my five-day-a-week posting cycle. The truth is, I just don't have time. I love my new job. I love my furry family (husband included). Because of all the commitments that come with that, my hours are limited. I've toyed with the idea of leaving blogging all together but the real reason I stay, is because I like sharing what I do. I blog because I like to create. Do I like it … [Read more...]
keeping clean with pets – how to have a clean home with smelly animals
So as many of you know, we are that crazy family with 5 animals. Most "normal" people think we are insane and think our house must have an unbelievable stinky animal smell to it. In reality, if they were not barking (or meowing) like the unruly creatures that they are, most days, you couldn't tell we had pets. I say most days because animal hair if not vacuumed every day, multiplies in my house. And there are those days that I have no energy to vacuum so the hair stays BUT the smell is not … [Read more...]

Herringbone fun at Target. Dogs are the best. And so are cats. Doggy pushpins are a … [Read more...]
good thoughts for a fellow blogger – newlyweds on a budget
I'm coming right out to the point of this post - a fellow blogger and great bloggy friend of mine needs our help. Kari from Newlyweds on a Budget was hit by a car on Saturday while running. It was a hit and run and thankfully the drunk jerk ( I can't post the exact obscenities I'm using to describe him in my mind) who hit her was caught. She is going to make it but it will be an uphill battle. She has a broken femur, collar bone, elbow, knee and a fractured pelvis. All I ask is that you keep … [Read more...]
haven withdrawal
I don’t do well with crowds. I’m not a girl who has a ton of girl friends. And while talkative, I’m usually pretty shy. I was pretty nervous - okay more like seriously nervous - about attending Haven for all those reasons. I’m really glad that I went out of my comfort zone and was fortunate enough to have a chance to attend. I had an amazing time. A really, really amazing time. I was lazy with my camera and it never made it out of my bag so all I have are iPhone photos. Bad blogger! I was … [Read more...]
