Puppy Love aka a million pictures of our pups

Sick Days, Slow Cookers and Sideshows

Taking a sick day and it's rainy out so I'm gonna try my hand at some slowcooker turkey chili... Never tried the recipe before but I'll post some pictures and the recipe once it's all made.

Packed up the Ebay orders so if you got something it's on its way to you as we speak.

 Got some fun things in the mail this week! First was a birthday card from one of my best friends Chelsea. Made me cry a little lol I miss her guts. lol at who she addressed the letter too...

 I also got some fun jewelry in  from the gorgeous Kristen Leanne who owns Sideshow by the Sea . I will be shooting some new headers for the blog soon and you might just see either of these in the images!

 Hoping the sun will come out tomorrow and I will feel better so we can have a nice little dog park adventure with Nate and the pups! Rain rain go away!

Hope everyones weekend is off to a good start!

Birthdays and BBQ!

So this week I celebrated my 27th birthday and I have never felt so blessed. It started off with overnights at work for the new spring concept flip. I work with such awesome people who got me cupcakes and sang me happy birthday late at night! And Germaine's mom made me her spring rolls that I am addicted too! You guys can't grasp how epic her vietnamese spring rolls are!

The next day me and Nate slept in and enjoyed a nice relaxing day to ourselves cause we don't get to do either of those often these days! It was much needed. I made homemade salsa which is one of my weeknesses!

Here's a picture and my recipe!

-3 large tomatoes chopped
-1/2 a white onion chopped
-1/2 a head of fresh cilantro chopped
-1 lime juiced
-salt to taste

Thats it let it sit for about half a day and it is the most delish fresh salsa! I love it!

Today we had a fun and busy day. We went on a little Bulk Barn spree, which to me is like heaven! We got a redic amount of candy and snacks along with some awesome new baking goodies for me! Including dog bone cookie cutters so I can start making my pups homemade treats! A cross cake pan which pretty much made my day, a great new anchor 2 cup liquid measuring cup and some really cute cupcake covers!

We got home and had fun with my new camera taking pictures of the cutest dogs you know miss Dolly and little Lem!

Then we headed off to my FAVORITE restaurant for dinner The SmoQue Shack . We are legit addicted to this place which just opened up in town this fall if you haven't been yet it is a must! Nate got steak, and I had brisket, we both had their AMAAZING mac & cheese and I had their creamy coleslaw ( I am a coleslaw addict and this is one of my favorites!). They have a BBQ ceaser which is to die for too! We haven't had anything there we didn't like

After we went to EQ3 and scored an amazing new couch on spring clearence! We got this model but in a light grey.

And lastly as if our day couldn't get any better we  decided on an awesome new apartment that we are moving into May 1st! Lots of packing painting and decorating in my near future and I love EVERY second of it! I already have two design inspirations for our new place. The first is for our new living room and the second is just the colour scheme insipration for our new kitchen dining space (for which I am on the hunt for a table and chairs cause we don't have any)

CANNOT WAIT!

So on an end note, this has actually been the best birthday I can even remember. Me and Nate have a great year ahead of us and I couldn't be more excited! Great way to kick off our 27th year! I am so blessed to have such great friends, an amazing husband and the best parents on earth!

New Pup and Wedding adventures!

Alright so as I am sure you all know we added a new member to our family and his name is Lemmy! Him and Dolly are the best of friends now after two weeks of adapting. They give each other kisses and when I wake up in the middle of the night I catch them cuddling it's pretty cute! It's also really nice for Dolly to have a play pal so that we don't have to toss around her bar 4 hours a day lol. They play and sleep play and sleep it's a cute little routine that I am glad they both seem to be stoked on. So on that note here are a million photos of my babies.

Picture of Lemmy from the lady we bought him from when he was 4 weeks!

Last weekend we went to our good friends wedding and it was a great day! My morning was busy as I did her mothers hair and make-up for the wedding then did my moms hair and gave my dad a trim all before heading home to get ready myself. But it was all worth it! The venue was so perfect for them and the food was great! Later on in the night they had a make your own poutine station anddd a cookies and milk station too! Lots of awesome homemade touches that made for a really memorable night! Their first dance was to Grow Old With You that Adam Sandler sang in the wedding singer too awesome! Alright enough witht he ramblings here are a bunch of pictures from the wedding!

It was a great night and everything Heather and Scott deserved! So happy for them!

Sorry I have been semi m.i.a. I am taking a course and have been studying lots to get a big girl job lol. Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Canadian Pooch!

I bought Dolly a Canadian Pooch Polar Project jacket today! She wasn't taking well to the canadian winter and was refusing to go on walks and even sometimes to stay out long enough to even go pee! She seems like a happy camper now we went on a great walk once she had it on!

I got her the first style but the hooded one is also great!

Click HERE to see the companies website! It is the warmest and best quality dog jacket I have come across well worth what we paid for it! I have been looking since before the holidays but was only coming across flimsy overpriced crap that you could tell was going to fall apart before winters end.
