This is a (belated) Valentine's Day call to celebrate the best examples of love in our lives: our dogs! Spoil those fur babies with homemade Valentine's Dog Treats!
it is with an extremely heavy heart that I share of Honey’s passing. Always one for a chase, Honey escaped her yard, and tragically, she was hit by a car and didn’t make it. To say there is a Honey-sized hole in our hearts is an understatement. It's hard to make sense of death, to grasp the surrealness of it, but honoring Honey through his memorial fundraiser, and seeing the overwhelming support thus far, has helped me to feel warmth and connection in spite of such loss.
This week, on Earth Day, my baby turned seven! She has become a literary number, a good luck number, a Biblical number. This week, the love of my dog reminds me that time, all time, even socially-distanced time, is extremely precious and not to be taken for granted.
Though I didn't make the trip to Punxsutawney this year, I did celebrate Groundhog Day in spirit. Punxsutawney Phil can be a controversial character when he sees his shadow and predicts more winter. I happen to like the snowy months (don't hate me), so I'm fine with that furball either way. However, if there's one friend of mine who would really like Phil (for the wrong reasons), it's my Julep girl.
Happy New Year's Eve from this bubbles-loving, crazy dog lady! In the words of this cheeky bottle, here's to "celebrations long and short."
With each passing year, I try to whittle away at my perfectionism, or at least guide it to where it is best directed (remember? lower the expectations!). Christmas morning is not one of those places. Though I want a touch of decadence, and I want to create a morning to remember and a breakfast to savor, that experience should not come at the expense of sequestering myself in the kitchen.
Nature and puppies- does it get any better? Nope! See both with a visit to idyllic Kretschmann Family Organic Farm and an introduction to little Molly, the adorable farm dog with a big future ahead of her.
A great excuse to go apple picking, this simple, sugar-free Crock-Pot Applesauce fills your house with the warm scents of fall.
