How To Create An Elegant Christmas Table
I have been very organized this year with decorating and buying gifts. I even set two holidays tables and can't wait for you to see all the pictures I've included in this post of our dining room table! The only thing I have to do now is grocery shop and cook Christmas dinner! Well, actually we are having a brunch with my parents, sister and brother-in-law! Later, Thomas and I enjoy the tree being on, Christmas movies, Jake and Maggie playing with their new Christmas toys, and a plate of...
How To Create A Casual Holiday Table
Who is finished wrapping and decorating for Christmas??? I am!!!!!! You know I love tablescapes so I decided to put two different looks together this year. These are the pictures of our kitchen table of a more casual look which I’m so excited to show you. I will blog about our dining room table with a formal look on Saturday. I bought these Pioneer Woman Holiday dishes at Walmart two years ago. This year I found the table runner, red wine glasses, and snowmen at Home Goods and the...
Strawberry, Banana, Oat Dog Treats
Today was one of those days that being home and not having to go anywhere felt wonderful. We got a heavy snow that came down and made the roads treacherous. Fortunately, I had gone to the store yesterday so we had enough food! I made us steak salads and made the dogs new treats that I’ll call Strawberry, Banana, Oat Dog Treats!! Thomas is on vacation and the four of us had a relaxing day together. (I did wrap a few of his presents). As of right now, I’m working on a blog post and we are...
Health Risks Of Sleeping With Your Pet
How many of you sleep with your dog? Thomas and I sleep with Jake and Maggie every night and honestly, I love it!!! Jake and Maggie have two different sleeping styles with Maggie curling up into a ball at the bottom of the bed and Jake literally sharing a pillow with me and snoring in my ear. I’ve been asked many times how I can sleep like that. Now, there are times I do have broken sleep but the number of nights that I’ve drifted off into a deep sleep and slept till morning is countless. When...
Pogis Grooming Wipes For Your Pet
This is a re-post with updated information, review, and links: I posted about these Pogis Grooming Wipes back in 2019 and have been using them ever since. I love that they are so effective in cleaning the dogs, helping to keep pollens from causing excessive licking, and are all natural. These would make great stocking stuffers for any dog lover and their fur babies! Still in need of a gift? You can find these at Chewy.com, Amazon.com, and I've even found them at Home Goods and TJMaxx!...
Puppy Paws Coffee Company
The weekend is almost over and we are winding down on our "to do" list. Thomas got some Christmas shopping done this morning while I set both the kitchen and dining room tables with out holiday dishes from Pioneer Woman and 222 Fifth. I'll be blogging those pictures this week. We got some deliveries on Friday and Saturday one being from Puppy Paws Coffee and Company. The coffee is sooo delicious and we have been enjoy a cup each morning! Puppy Paws Coffee comes in whole bean and ground...
Strawberry Flavored Dog Treats
This is a re-post (with more information) from awhile back but I thought it would be a perfect dog treat for Valentine's Day! Do you celebrate Valentine's Day with your pet(s)? We always have and will again this year with a new dog treat and Charcuterie Board! Stay tuned for a new tablescape and a new treat recipe! Jake And Maggie got new bows from The Pampered Pooches (use code 2labs for 10%) off! But I'll be sure to include photos of them wearing their new designs! I had a list of dog...
Eli Is Available For Adoption
I've partnered again with the Beaver County Humane Society and had the pleasure of meeting a very sweet Pit Bull Terrier this week named Eli. Eli is a brown and white neutered male and at only 2 years old, he is very calm. This sweet boy posed for many pictures and allowed me to move around him snapping photos at every angle. Scroll down to see this beautiful boy and read his bio below. As you can see, he is treat oriented and loves his handler Lexi. ELI Kennel # LD04 AID: #A030318 I...
Noise Anxiety In Dogs
This is an update and re-post. July 4th is this weekend and the loud booms of the fireworks and explosion of colors not only affects dogs but all animals. It's best to be prepared for your pet so they don't suffer. I was prompted to do more research on Noise Anxiety In Dogs because I am the dog mom who wants to coddle and console the dogs every time they get afraid. Thomas is the dog dad who says…let them go because they will think something is wrong and keep being afraid. I researched the...
Candle Making At Yankee Candle
I’ve been saying for a very long time that I want to learn how to make candles and well…I finally did it! Woo hoo! The Mall at Robinson in Robinson, PA has a Yankee Candle store set up where you can go to, choose your favorite scent or scents and make your own custom candle. I’ve had this action item on my bucket list for a long time and now have created a Chocolate, Whipped Cream, Caramel candle called “Maggie Rose Jake Thomas” that Thomas and I are going to burn Friday night. Why Friday...
