December 26, 2017 10 Comments

Y’all. I’ve taken the next step into dog motherhood. Riply now has her very own Instagram account (@riplyvsaliens)! Yes, that’s Riply vs Aliens 😝 Needless to say, I’ve become even more obsessed with my dog than ever before. I’m very thankful for Zach for his support but also for his occasional reminders to chill TFO. Hah! But that does not stop me from doing another dog post! Check out this recipe for homemade Grain-Free Bacon Dog Treats. Plus, sharing some of Riply’s favorite things – stuff that she loves, and has been real handy for us as…paw-rents. Sorry, couldn’t help it.

Warm Up Winter with Hot Toddy Cupcakes

December 17, 2017 No Comments

Today I’m bringing together two of my favorite things – whiskey and cupcakes! During these winter months, nothing warms me up better than a hot toddy. It’s a warm cocktail of whiskey, honey, and lemon juice (sometimes made with tea.) It’s delicious and warms the soul. I presonally also think it’s a great home remedy for sore throats and colds. 😉

These Hot Toddy Cupcakes may not have the exact same effect but they’ll definitely satisfy a sweet tooth!

No Bags, No Boxes, No Problem

November 25, 2017 No Comments

I love gift giving and gift wrapping. Pretty boxes, bags, paper, string…the works. I even have a set of drawers dedicated to that stuff (though how many of you are really surprised by that?) 😉 What’s fun to me about gift wrapping is that you get the chance mix things up a bit.

A week ago, a few friends in my building were throwing a surprise baby shower for a fellow dog mom. I bought some clothes and socks that were on the couple’s registry but realized that everything was white and grey. I wanted to dress it up a little. So I decided to do something a little different with my gift wrapping. Instead of a box or a bag, I decide to make a Baby Shower Gift Bouquet!
