Frozen Applesauce Cinnamon Oat Treat
Happy “Friday Treats Friday” everyone! I’m so excited that October is here! I just picked Jake and Maggie up from the groomers and as they sit quietly in the back seat, I’m talking to them about what fall themed treats I’m going to make them this month! I know they are going to go home and fall fast asleep with dreams of cinnamon and pumpkin swirls dancing in their heads! I’ve dedicated October to everything fall on the blog so stay tuned for dog related posts, DIYs, and treats for us...
Ways To Save On Pet Expenses
Happy Monday everyone!! We got a delivery on Saturday from SmartyPaws Vitamins for the dogs, see previous post (HERE) and I said to Thomas, between their insurance (HERE), organic food, organic treats, vitamins and probiotics, I need to sit down and calculate what we are spending per month. Yes, I have a rough estimate but the exact cost, I need to add it all up. We get 3 deliveries every month not including their food and grooming appointments. It is rare that I use coupons unless I get...

Now let's get back to this delicious treat I've made for Jake and Maggie! My thought behind this recipe is simple, healthy,...
How To Create A Vignette
Happy Wednesday everyone! Today I’m giving you the last part of my three part series of my guest bedroom, combining the old with the new (HERE) and spare bedroom, how to decorate with mismatched furniture (HERE) and the Jack and Jill bathroom that connects both rooms. This bathroom was all about using what I had from previous houses (WV and MO), a few shopping trips, and creating vignettes while also keeping all the color schemes cohesive. When we moved back from Missouri, we left basically...

How To Design A Bedroom Using Mismatched Furniture
Happy Wednesday everyone!! I was faced with a task of coordinating a room full of mismatched furniture and I'm finally done with decorating our spare bedroom! What held me up so long? I had to pick out a ceiling fan! It was on my list but I just never got around to it until now. Thomas being the handyman that he is, put it up for me. When we bought the house, the room had a tiny flush mount 2 bulb light that I HATED. I didn't want to go crazy by spending a ton of money since it's a...
Can Dogs Eat Gelatin?
Happy Monday everyone! I normally create a new homemade treat to post on Fridays but today I'm going to show you something really neat...watermelon flavored ice cream mix for dogs made by Pooch Creamery!

DIY Fall Wreath
Happy Wednesday everyone!! I recently posted my fall wreath on Instagram (@twoadorablelabs) and thought I’d share the DIY with you. I don’t think I’ve ever done a DIY so I’ll try to be as thorough as I can. I haven’t forgotten about my promise to start posting videos. I now have all of my equipment and should have done a video on my 2020 fall wreath but honestly, it is much harder than it looks. I’ve been practicing and let’s just say…I need more practice. But, I promise, I’ll get that...
A Checklist For Dog Owners Expecting Pups
Happy Labor Day everyone! I recently had a conversation with a dog owner whose female dog is pregnant and expecting puppies very soon. She wanted to know if there was a supplement to give her dog incase she could not produce milk after her delivery and asked about a birthing box or whelping box. She had bought one but wanted know if her dog would naturally go to it during delivery or if she should show it to her before hand. I called my vet who gave me some great information. Typically, a...
