Ruby goes camping

So this was the scene when I walked in our bedroom tonight

It made me laugh! She is all tucked in her little blanket tent. Ha! My silly pooches. (oh and ignore the fact that I didn’t make the bed today. Michael was still in bed when I left for work, so he can take the blame).

Happy Camping from our pups to you!

This is not staged

Mya our Puggle has loads of personality. I think the Beagle in her makes her really smart. I just came in the bedroom and found her like this:

Gone Kroger-ing

Random post, but I am excited and had to share. We went grocery shopping at Kroger tonight (we haven’t been in over a month) and saved $63.74!!!!

Isn’t that amazing! We used coupons and sales to get the most for our money. We bought mostly fruits, vegetables, lean meats and canned items (tomatoes, corn, beans, etc). We also got paper towels, laundry detergent, various toiletries, dog treats and 99% that stuff we used coupons on. I hate grocery shopping but I love getting stuff on sale.
So now who wants to come over for dinner??
XOXO,
E

P.S.

Just lay still

I’m pretty sure Gunner thinks if he lays really still we won’t notice his 50 pound body in our bed. Nice try buddy, but the bed is not big enough. He’s cute trying though.

Simple pleasures

Who doesn’t love sitting in the sun?! We let Mya and Gunner out to play in the sun room. When I checked on them a little while later this is what I found. Silly Puggle!

Words to live by

This is on our chalkboard in the dining room. We write little messages to each other on it. Michael wrote this one and I love it. Thanks baby!!

Lazy dog

I think Gunner needs to get a job! He’s turning into a lazy bum.

Back to work!

Last weekend we started working on the back bedroom. Yay! Michael took off all the trim and casing and starting working on smoothing out the walls. We should be ready to prime and paint this weekend. I’ve decided on the color: Peacock Feather by Benjamin Moore. It’s a pretty aqua blue color. I have the Poppy picture by Georgia O’Keeffe that I want to get framed and put in this room. From West Elm, I bought this yellow (citron) & white striped bedding, yellow is such a happy color, but I can never find a place for it in our house. So this is an exciting step for me. For a headboard I’m thinking something rustic like a barn door. We’ve been looking around at antique shops and I’ve also found several tutorials online to make one if I can’t find exactly what I’m looking for. To play off the rustic headboard I would like to find a round distressed wooden mirror.  For the lighting, it will need to glam up the room, so I’m thinking a cute but not too gaudy chandelier.  We’ve decided either a nice orange wing back chair, or a distressed brown leather chair would look good too. A small night table, painted gray and a gray rug will tie everything together.

Here is a little visual I put together. Everything is subject to change except the bedding and the wall color.

Hopefully I will have some after photos to share soon!

XOXO,

Erin

Did someone say walk?

Yep, another dog post. The weather was so nice this weekend, well for a December in Indiana. Yesterday we decided to get out of the house and enjoy the nice wintery day. The dogs LOVE walks!! They all run around the house like crazies and then sit by the door with anticipation. I snapped a few iPhone pictures before we walked out the door. Gunner was already out running on the sun porch, so that’s why he is MIA.
