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...
Do Dogs Dream?
My Question and Answer yesterday sparked some interest with readers on another subject "Do Dogs Dream" and so I thought I'd put together another Q & A! I've always believed that animals dream just like we do. I've also believed that a dreaming dog should be left alone to wake up on his own. Who wants to be woken out of a dead sleep for nothing!!! Right? Animals are just like people and although we don't bite people when they wake us up, this is how a dog might show that they are...
Holiday Gift Ideas Part 3
I had plans to send out one post of Holiday Gift Ideas and ended up with three posts. I woke up this morning thinking of more ideas and just had to put a list together for you. Christmas has become less personal over the years and I wanted to put some ideas together that are more personal and with more of a homemade crafty feel. I’m also including some gift ideas that Thomas and I have been given and have given that we really loved. I really hope that I have helped give you some ideas if...
Holiday Gift Ideas Part 2
I hope you enjoyed my previous post on Holiday Gift Ideas and wanted to share more with you. It all depends on how much you want to spend and how elaborate you want to go, but here are some gift basket ideas that might appeal to you. And we must not forget to give the gift receipts just incase your friends and family need to return anything! I never get offended when someone returns my gift. I want them to enjoy it and if they don’t like it, I want them to get something that they will...
Holiday Gift Ideas
The stores are in full throttle on promoting all their sales and I’m finally checking off an action item of putting together a post of gift ideas. I was even more inspired after having lunch with a friend who was trying to decide what to get someone in her family and decided that Saturday I wanted to put together some ideas for you all. I started my day with a plan of getting a post out this morning but that got derailed when Thomas wanted steak salads for lunch and I bought CHICKEN...
Simple Decor For A Half Bath
We are one week closer to Christmas! Can you believe it?!! Is everyone decorated and ready to go? I have everything done except my table scapes which I plan to do tomorrow night. Over the next few weeks, I plan on showing you more of the house and I thought this couldn't be a better time to show you our half bath on the first floor. This room was a plain boring off white room with no decor when we bought the house. I finally got this room done and then it was time to decorate for the...
