"Pillow Pals"

by 4 Comments

I’m linking up with Mrs. Monologues again for Fur Baby Friday After last weekend’s beautiful, warm weather ended in a dreary, windy, cold week, I think everyone in my house found themselves congregating near the sliding glass door in the kitchen, which gets hit by sunlight for almost the entire day. I found the two [...]

Spring and Beginings

by 7 Comments

Today being the first day of Spring, I ceremoniously opening all the windows and doors and letting the fresh air waft through our house. It’s pretty fantastic to bring in the season on a week of such good weather. One of the things I love about Spring is its promise of new beginnings. The promise of [...]

I’m still not finished writing up the big clinical trial recap, so I thought I’d join in a cute meme I saw on Amber’s blog. Last night, the pups were just as excited as we were to get back into our regular routine. Cheyenne was so happy to see us that she spent a lot [...]

Resolute

My resolutions for 2012 are pretty simple this year - Be a little kinder, laugh a little more, love a little more, stress a little less, take better care of my health (diabetes, pcos), and enjoy every moment.   I’m hoping that by following the K.I.S.S.

Ugly Sweater War

by 15 Comments

A few weeks ago I was challenged to a make-your-own ugly holiday sweater competition, with Jen (Live With Levi) and Summer (Banana Hammocks & Tutus). I have to admit that at first, I thought we were just looking for ugly sweaters and seeing who could find the worst one. But making an ugly sweater? SO [...]
