What’s On My Mind This Friday

1. A bunch of you all asked about the dress I was wearing for our Kauai vacation family photos.  It’s that banana dress I talked about a few weeks ago.  And it’s on sale right now!

Kauai Vacation Family Photos

2.  We’re getting another dog!  As you know we lost our sweet Prince back in December of last year, and since that time we’ve been showering our other old man, Jake, with extra love and attention.

After a great deal of talking, thinking, researching and praying we’ve decided to add a new little guy to our family.  Thanks for all of your Instagram and Facebook suggestions on a name!  We’ve decided to call this little guy…….

Standard Schnauzer Puppy

Gandalf.  We’re total Lord of the Rings nerds; and when our sweet standard schnauzer is full grown he’ll have a beard just like Gandalf so it was sort of perfect!  Ha!   He’ll be here sometime in September.  I can’t wait!  Seriously, how cute is that face?!

3.  A friend sent me a link to this post a few weeks ago and it really hit home for me.  I’ve suddenly realized I myself am in what is referred to as “the sweet spot”.

4.  I just got home last Saturday from Kauai, and I’m already headed back to the airport this Sunday.  Say what?!

NYC

I’m headed to NYC for a blogger trip!  I’ll be hanging with the hAppy club, and I’m so thrilled!  You can follow all the fun on Instagram, and I’ll be sure to post all about it when I return.

5.  Don’t forget the Back to School Giveaway is open until Monday!  There’s still time to enter!

Have a great weekend!!

  • Thanks for sharing the sweet spot post. I'm so there. It got me all teary-eyed. Holding on tight to this moment. I can already feel my 12 year old veering off the sweet spot just a little bit. 🙁 I think I'll still get hugs and snuggles from him for another 2 years. And at least I've still got the little ones.;)

  • Awww…..cute name you chose for your new little guy! Have fun in NYC Carmel! Love that city. Always so fun to visit. If I buy that banana dress I want to be guaranteed to look as stunning as you. Enjoy your weekend!

  • Congrats on your new pup; enjoy! My sister & I delivered 2 6-week old miniature schnauzers to our younger sister and brother-in-law last week as a feeble thank you for incredible kindnesses. They, too, lost their last beloved pooch last December and we finally found a way to bring unbridled joy back into their lives! DOGS RULE!! Blessings, Barbara Z.

  • WOw, NYC…you are so lucky! And your vacation photos are amazing. I'm in Germany right now and feel like I'm missing out on all the great posts.
    Yay to the baby. Schnauzers are on the top of my list. Love them! We always had Schnauzer mix doggies 😉
