How To Find Pet Insurance
It’s been an amazing year and I’m so looking forward to what 2020 will bring! I was so excited when the mail came the other day and we received Jake and Maggie’s TDI certifications. Jake and Maggie are on their way to doing great things and helping many people. All current TDI Associate Members and their dogs are covered by their Primary Volunteer Liability Insurance policy and Secondary Volunteer Accident Insurance. With Jake and Maggie being AKC registered, I get 5% off on insurance...
Meaningful Ways To Celebrate New Year’s Day
This is a re-post with photos taken throughout 2022 and updated blog posts at the bottom. We've reached The 24 Days Before Christmas which means New Year's Eve and New Year's Day is next up! What goals did you make for yourself? Do you make resolutions? I'm wishing you all a wonderful holiday, holidays, and a wonderful 2023. I have to admit that when I was younger, it didn’t much matter to me if I celebrated New Year’s Day or not. As I’ve gotten older, I started looking forward to...

I am so excited to tell you the good news…drum roll… Jake and Maggie are officially TDI certified and received their certifications from Therapy Dog International.

The next on our agenda is acquiring volunteer hours and getting them qualified for the PitPaws Program at the Pittsburgh Airport. I made...
Merry Christmas
One more day until Christmas Eve! Thomas and I have done our grocery shopping and now we are baking! I won't be blogging for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I know everyone is busy and will be tired from the holidays but I wanted to send some older posts your way. These recipes turned out great and we had so much fun making them! Cheese Raviolis, Ooey Gooey Butter Cake, and Sugar Cookies for us and treats for the dogs! https://twoadorablelabs.com/three-cheese-ravioli/...
Gift Wrapping Ideas + How To Make A Bow Videos
This is a re-post with updated information and links. Happy Monday everyone! We are day 12 into The 24 Days Before Christmas and I’m finishing up my post on How To Make A Bow Using Two Ribbons. Per my last post “How To Make A Bow” with instructions and video, I wanted to include the second phase of videos in this previous post I did a few years ago on Gift Wrapping Ideas. I though it would be fun to incorporate how to make a bow with two different sizes and patterns. I love ribbon and when I...
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.

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!...
