What’s On My Mind This Friday

1.  The newest member of our family arrived yesterday!  If you follow me on instagram then you’ve already seen how unbelievably sweet he is!  I’m seriously head over heels for this cutie.  I’d like to formally introduce you to……Gandalf.

He’s a kisser.

After losing our beloved Prince this past December I was a little hesitant about getting another dog. 

We still had our sweet, old man Jake (14) who needed lots of extra loving and attention after his best buddy passed.   



After lots of thinking, praying and talking about whether or not we should get another dog we finally decided it was time.  And we’re all thrilled with Gandalf!  Jake seems to be amused by his new little buddy, and my kids are ridiculously excited to have a baby brother.  😉 

2.  Our screened porch is so close to being done!  I can’t wait to start decorating!  
3.  Did you watch the VMAs?  Ummmm……what exactly happened to Hannah Montana?  
4. Are you ready for fall?  I’m just asking because I may or may not have just decorated my mantel for the season, and I’m curious to know if you’re ready for me to share it here.  😉  Don’t worry I don’t have any pumpkins out ………yet.   
5.  If you’re looking for a great plum/wine shade of lipstick – try Clinique’s Plum Brandy.  It’s been around for years and I think it’s one of my all time favorite shades.  

Hope you all have a wonderful 3 day weekend!  I plan to stay home and get this puppy potty-trained – it’s easier to train a 2 year old y’all!

  • The new pup is precious! We just lost our 13 year old golden on Tuesday, so I feel your pain:( It has left a hole in our hearts. And our other dog (who is a senior dog, too) is slowly figuring out she isn't coming home…

  • Awww, seeing the old doggie pics made me sad. But happy a new friend has come to live with you. You couldn't pay me to get a puppy, EVER AGAIN. They are a LOT of work. But so sweet.
    Can't wait to see the porch!

  • Gandalf is adorable! Love the photo of him giving you a kiss. Dogs bring so much joy into a household. My guy, Lars, puts a huge smile on my face daily. Have fun with your new addition to your family and a nice holiday weekend.

  • The minute the leaves on our maple tree out front start to change colour, I'm starting to decorate for fall! I love love love fall! I can't wait to add some mums to the front planters and to add a touch of fall to interior of our home.
