Puppy Tricks and My Shoe Philosophy!

Hey guys!

I actually had to go to two different pet stores to find shells big enough for Crabby- I guess he (she?) is a jumbo hermit crab!  Since my second stop took me to Petco I loaded up on puppy cookies at their cookie bar.  It's fun- they have lots of different kinds of cookies in bins and you scoop out what you want into a bag.  It's just like going to the candy store as a kid.  The cookies are even sold by weight like I remember!  I got cream filled cookies, oatmeal, and berry biscotti for Big Boy and cinnamon teddy bears, cheese rings, and animal crackers for Trouble.  Most of their cookies smell good enough to eat, but I've never been sure if they're meant for sharing with people or not!

Friday Outfit of the Day!

Good morning, guys!

Today is going to be a nice, relaxing day at home.  Even though I'm not going to school every day, I tend to work a lot during the summer both planning for the new year that will start in the fall and also this summer working online.  However, after a long, involved week I've declared today a day off from work of any kind.  I'm thinking that I'll give myself a pedicure, make a Lavash pizza for lunch, and maybe watch a movie curled up on the couch with my puppies.  Sounds great!  Here's what I'm wearing for my day off:

What's For Dinner? Latest Favorites from my Cookbook Collection

Hey guys,

I love to cook and I have to admit that I am completely obsessed with cookbooks!  I own more than 20 of them. There are certain categories that I am attracted to: vintage, girly, and healthy.  I tend to go through phases where I am near-obsessed with a certain cookbook.  Here are some of my recent obsessions:

My Make-Up Must Haves!

Hey guys!

After my very serious last post, I decided to share something a lot more fun: make-up!  I've been wearing make-up since I was 13 and I really enjoy it.  Like a lot of girls, I've got a few things that I buy over and over that make up the cornerstone of my make-up routine.  When I'm working during the school year, I pretty much wear the same make-up every day.  I think it makes me look put-together and professional.  Nothing too crazy or wild, since I'm playing at being a grownup when I'm at work. 

A Scary Experience

Hey guys!

So I've been going for a morning walk with Big Boy just about every day so far this summer.  It's nice to do before the heat starts creeping up again and is a great start to the day for both of us.  However, yesterday morning something very scary happened when we were headed home at the end of our walk.

New Summer Accessories!

Good morning, guys!

On a trip to Target for a few odds and ends this weekend, I took a spin through their clothing and shoe sections and picked up a few great pieces to round out my summer wardrobe.  Target is always a great place to find inexpensive, trendy items.  I usually take a quick turn through their clothing and accessories section every time I'm there.  Usually, I stick to the clearance racks, but they had some good sales going on and I treated myself to three things that I think I'll get a lot of mileage out of this summer paired with some of my more classic pieces.  I definitely prefer to mix-and-match classic staples with a trendy piece or two.  That way I can avoid "overdoing" a particular look.
