I have been keeping my eye out for a coffee table for some time now. We love our trunk, but kept finding that it was a little too small for practical use. After we added in our oriental rug, it was...
Well, week 3 of Revolt is almost over and I have to tell you that I am feeling great! I feel stronger, my clothes are looser, and I still am loving the workouts. After a little stomach bug...
As I mentioned in this post we recently received two sets of drawers from my late great uncle and aunts house. Both Fergal and I love the fact that we have something that has been passed down to us...
Since writing this post, I have been waiting to refinish the drawers until I could find affordable drawer pulls that would match our houses décor better than the original ones. While checking...
I am in week 2 of my 6 week Revolt Now Fitness challenge and still loving it. My weight loss has slowed, but I can tell that I am getting stronger. Climbing the 4 flights of stairs to my office...
As someone who dreams a lot this is a great message. So many times it is easy to give up and say that something is just a dream, but if you believe in yourself and push yourself then you can do it!...
It has been a while since I gave an update on Barnie and Cassie, so I thought I would post some new pictures! They are both doing great, and I can see that they are truly best friends at this...
Recently my parents got some new furniture for their house, and asked if we wanted one of the couches that they no longer needed. I jumped at the chance because I have always loved this particular...
With swimsuit season looming, I have been thinking a lot about my fitness routine (or lack there of). I got into really great shape for my wedding last year, but after that kind of let things go. I...
One of the projects I tackled in April was to make us some decorative curtains for the bedroom. We installed shades when we first moved in, but I never was crazy about how they looked all alone....
Hello! How are you? Long time no chat. I apologize for not checking in the last few weeks – turns out that writing a novel in a month is kind of a big undertaking and doesn’t leave much room for...
Every once in a while the urge to write hits me. I don’t mean writing blog entries, I mean writing stories. It is a dream of mine to be published someday, and sometimes the urge to just drop...
Easter was one of my favorite days of our trip to Ireland. We got up early to go to Easter mass (there were the cutest babies there!) and then headed over to my husband’s grandmothers house to see...
I have mentioned a few times that my husband and I stayed in a Castle during our recent trip to Ireland. The Castle I am referring to is a restored Castle on Lough Eske in Donegal. It is a truly...
Last year when we went to Ireland, I was slightly disappointed that we didn’t see any castles up close. This year we decided to stay in a castle overnight. While driving there we also decided to...
Over Easter my husband and I took a trip to Ireland to visit his family. We took a 5 day trip, and it couldn’t have been more fun. Last year when we went at about the same time, the weather was...
As I mentioned in this post, we received several items from my great Uncles house after he passed away. Both my husband and I are really excited that we can use furniture that was already in the...
Tuesday’s post featuring our new oriental rug reminded me about my complete confusion over the price of dog beds. When we got Barney, my husband and I reevaluated letting our pets up on the couch...
I love Disney. I am the perpetual child who still wants to beg to go to Disney every time the word “vacation” is thrown around. Last time I was in Disney (for our Honeymoon!) I noticed that there...
Recently my great uncle John passed away. It was a very sad time, but the silver lining was he died in his old age, in his bed (aka how I hope to go someday!). When we attended the funeral it was...
A few weeks ago I shared this new bulletin board that we hung in the mud room. This space has really become the dogs realm, so it seemed only appropriate to have them represented in the frames. It...
Lately I have been on the hunt for a new purse that was a little larger than my usual purse, but smaller than my work bag. I came across the Canadian brand Pixie Mood over the weekend, and have...
One of the biggest issues we have had since adopting our pups is that our big back yard wasn’t fenced in. We are pretty close to a main road, so it wasn’t feasible to let the dogs off leash in the...
There is nothing better than transforming a beat up/ old piece of furniture with a few coats of white paint. Items that previously were about to be thrown away can turn into fresh new pieces that...
This week the Mr. tried something new. He is an electrician, and he signed on to do the night shift for a few nights. He worked from 6pm – 1am on Sunday night and Monday night, then he had Tuesday...
I always smile a bit on Pi Day… (3.14)… since it reminds me of the parties we would have in math class growing up on this day. I never really excelled at math, but have always excelled at baking...
…and this is why I am always so busy! Wouldn’t change it though Picture from here
I do a lot of work after my 9-5 job. As most of my long term readers know, I work on Bluebird Bath & Beauty as well as my start up the Prancing Pup on off hours. With all of that in mind I realized...
I try not to talk about my dogs too much… since not everyone is a dog person… but sometimes I just have to brag about how cute they are. This weekend was all about the dogs – hiking and just...
24 was a really good year for me. So many amazing things happened and I couldn’t be more grateful. I remember last year thinking that there were so many things that were going to happen during the...
