Gift Guide - For the Dogs!

I know so many of us have little "fur babies" and who doesn't want to spoil that already pampered pooch a little extra this holiday season. There are gazillions of companies that specialize in amazing pet products here are a few of our faves:

Lands End Reversible down vest 

They have oodles or pet clothes, beds and accessories for pups of all sizes

Buttercup Dog Bed

Hubs found one of these in a boutique pet store the other day and our little man (who loves to "nest") would adore this super soft cozy bed and the festive stripe is so cute!

Zukes Dog Treats

You only have to say "cookie" or open the bag and our little 4 pounder will come flying down the stairs. I have never met a dog who doesn't looove Zukes treats!

BarkBox

Just like birchbox but for the dogs!! How fun to treat your pooch to a monthly delivery complete with tasty treats and fun toys and products!

All products approved by my little pup!!

How are you spoiling your pup this Christmas??

Most Wonderful Time of the Year!!

To say we were a bit under the weather last week is a huge understatement! Hubs actually came home early from work since I was so ill only to fall ill himself - we were a pitiful sight. But We are back in action, the house has been thoroughly sanitized and disinfected and our Halls are Decked!! I love to sit and relax in the evening next to the tree:)
I finally ordered Ms Peanuts big girl car seat, which although makes me a little sad, I am really excited for!

We went with the Britax Marathon 70 for its safety ratings and It should arrive today
We are gearing up for a busy week with Christmas Tree lighting celebrations and a big trip to Bizarre Bazaar for some serious Christmas shopping in Richmond on Thursday!!! 

I'm hoping to put this together this week to add a festive "scent" to our already very festive home.

I could hug a stranger this time of year it makes me so happy!

Icky Sicky

Ms Peanut and I are seriously under the weather today, fevers and all! I am praying we are better in time for her first Turkey Day!

We have got the humidifier pumping

Hallmark Christmas movies on the tube

And lots of hot tea!

I hope we have our appetites in time for Sweet Potatoes & Stuffing!!!

What a Weekend!

We packed up Friday afternoon and headed to the beach for one last weekend until next season-Boohooo:( Thanksgiving is just around the corner but the temps at the beach made it feel more like Springtime! My parents were down and we all worked hard to close down the beach house, but we certainly made time for lunches and dinners out, some shopping and even a stroll down the boardwalk!

Until 2013 Beach...

Love, Us:)

Ms. Peanut grew so much this season it is hard to even imagine what she will be like for our first trip of 2013!

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Happy Election Day!

I am voting for these guys for president (s)

Yup..Ben & Jerry:)

I don't usually need a reason to celebrate with ice cream but Ben & Jerry have made this one too easy!! My Fave ice cream ever (for years now!), in Sundae form!! Offered through the end of the year in celebration of the election!!

Hope everyone has a great day:)

Hot Hands

I have always been a bit of a nut about washing my hands (not in a crazy way- Im just big on cleanliness!) The weather has changed dramatically and with lower temps but the same amount of dirty diapers, my hands are in serious need of pampering! Cracked knuckles are just plain ugly so here are my fave ways to combat dry hands this fall and winter!

My Mom puts this in my "Easter Basket" yearly and its just as delicious as the body versions, and wonderful to have on the go

Lavender & Honey...Sweet and relaxing, I have a mini tube in my diaper bag:)

Old Faithful!! This is honest to goodness the only product that makes everything better:) I slather this on before bed and wake up with soft hands (works wonders on heels too!)

Happy Friday!
