Our dogs are pretty spoiled. They get all the new treats and toys that they could ask for! Well really we are just reading their minds…they don’t actually ask for things. They’re not allowed in Petsmart because they would go nuts….

Well, The Fiancé got the bright idea to purchase this cool little accessory since we are avid dog walkers. It is so bad that Hurley knows the word WALK…and we have to spell it in normal conversation. Harper just runs upstairs...trying to avoid it at all costs. We walk almost every day and typically do longer walks on the weekend. We have found that during the hot summer months we HAVE to bring water for them. Duh-you think!! Typically we bring a Nalgene and pour it into our hands, but now we have this handy little gadget that you can find Here.

So I am in Raleigh, NC this week for work. It has been sometime since I have travelled for work, and it is a nice change of pace. Last night we went to the Durham Bulls baseball game. If you're a movie watcher ...Bull Durham - is an 80s classic movie shot about the Durham Bulls. The handsome Kevin Costner was in the movie.

Anyways- their stadium is pretty awesome and the game was pretty fun to watch. Their tickets are very reasonable in price and it seemed like a 'family affair' at the ball game, which was nice to see.  Affordable entertainment for the entire family.

The Bulls ended up losing 6-2.

Be Our Guest

Hello!!! Yes, I am still alive. I have just been too lazy to blog. With all of this wedding stuff and summer wrapping up...I have failed as a blogger. You'd think that I would have things to share since I am planning a wedding...well that will come.

Recently, I have found myself justifying making purchases because they are "for the wedding". I am usually pretty frugal but recently that has not been the case. I figured since we may have out of town guests for different wedding activities, I felt the need to update the bedding in the guest room. I have been stalking PB again...for this one duvet to go on sale. Alas - it went on sale last week and it arrived this week. Little did I remember that not only did I need to update the duvet, but I also need a new bed skirt and sheets. That will happen this weekend. When we moved into our house 3 years ago...I purchased a $24.99 bed in a bag from Target. It was a great find that got me through. But honestly, it was the worst looking thing ever. I am ready for the change.  I hope it is put to use...come on over - i'll even make you breakfast!

I suggested to The Fiancé that it is now time to paint the 2 guest rooms and bath. He said - yeah that would be a great project for our holiday break. Well, I was thinking more along the lines of in the next month - maybe a random weekend when we have nothing going on. He agreed! Yipppee. I cannot wait to get painting and transform the guest rooms into something FANTASTIC. Below is a picture of the bedding – and I sort of want to copy the aesthetic of the room. We shall see…
