Recipies, reviews and random rants from a mom of two!
Photo A Day Challenge Day 2: Shadow My shadow is turning eight this year. It's hard to believe we've had her that long. I remember the day we drove to Kansas City see if she was "the one." I had been pleading with my husband to get a third dog for quite some time. After pouting, begging and finally threatening to go to the Kansas Humane Society and adopt a dog, he … [Read more...]
This is my 10th attempt at starting this blog post. Each time I get about 3-4 sentences in, I change direction and hit the delete button. There are multitude of reasons why I keep doing that but I think I've finally figured it out the main reason. This trip wasn't just about dog sledding, though that was my motivation for taking the trip. This trip turned out to be … [Read more...]
Did you know that August 26th is National Dog Day and I'm talking about canines, not the kind we eat! Neither did I until a little Sparty told me. As a salute to our 4-legged friends, along with sharing the latest poster from Disney's Frankenweenie (which comes out in theaters October 5), I though I would tell you about my favorite 4-legged friends, Rex and … [Read more...]
I've never gone so far as to throw my dogs a birthday party (well, at least not one with party hats, invitations and gourmet dog food) but I do like to spoil and pamper them at the holidays. After all, they were my first *children* and since the arrival of our daughter, they don't nearly get the attention they used to. So this Easter we decided to spoil them for the … [Read more...]
After spending the afternoon with my daughter at the park, a failed attempt at napping (I'm batting about .150 right now) and cleaning the house, everyone in my family was looking forward to a relaxing Friday evening. When my husband asked what was on the agenda, I told him, "I'm feeding my zoo with Del Monte products." After a blank stare (his, not mine), I explained … [Read more...]

Your names will be entered in a drawing for a $20 Amazon Gift Code and a camera strap from our very own Emily at Nap Time Is My Time. I want to thank my co-hosts, Nap Time Is My Time, A Helicopter Mom and Sunshine and Sippy Cups and … [Read more...]
If Wrigley and Rex had a dog blog, it would sound similar but they'd have to add to it: I slept on her bed and she didn't even realize it! I let the little one dress me up and then steal her food when she isn't looking. It WAS the dog! ROFL... Went trash surfing today, found a oreo! Score!! Image Source: Speedbump.com … [Read more...]
My dogs love the snow. They chase each other, roll around, bark and play. If only they loved to wipe their paws off too. Check out these stunning pictures of animals in snow.

Guest Post by Emily T. Kitten & Iggy sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S…well, that’s not going to happen. Unfortunately, Kitten could care less about Iggy and they do not agree on much. But what they seem to agree on is the new cat litter I introduced them to, World’s Best Cat Litter. I have to say, I was skeptical. I have tried other environmentally friendly … [Read more...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Puppies vs. Babies for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. We've all done it. Stopped to ooh and ahh over a puppy or a baby. But have we really answered the question as to who is cuter? Puppies vs. Babies? As a mom, a playgroup leader and a former director of an OB/GYN practice, I'll probably lose … [Read more...]
