Life Lately: Family, Fashion, Food and Fitness
And just like that, we have entered into 2019. Where did the time go?! I feel like the holidays whizzed right by, so what could be better than a little brain dump on life lately around here? Let's jump in! (Oh, and there is a little giveaway in here too!) On the homefront: -We just celebrated Izzy's 8th birthday before the holidays. It's so crazy to believe that we adopted this little lady when she was just a couple months old. Her original name was Minnie Mouse (those big black Read More
Combating the winter stir craziness…for dogs.
This post was sponsored by Milk-Bone as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own. This winter just seems to go on and on, am I right?! January felt like it had 75 days in it, and February is shaping up to be the same with the harsh winds, snow and sub-zero wind chills. Ugh! It seems like we are all going a bit stir crazy at this point- Izzy included. It's too cold to take her for walks or play time outside most days, so we've Read More
A Boy and His Dog: Teaching Responsibility to Toddlers
Dogs are family, and deserve to be treated as such. And nothing says "I love you" more than something made with love and care like Milo’s Kitchen home-style dog treats from Meijer.

Happy Birthday, Izzy!

I can’t believe it was five years ago when we found our little Irish Troodle at the shelter and knew we had to have her. (Her name was actually Minnie when we first met her—I’m thinking it’s because of those big, black ears!) Anyways, she has been such a joy to have in our family and we really couldn’t Read More
Bugsy Box Review (and $10 discount!)
In case you haven’t met her on the blog yet, this is Izzy. She’s a energetic, super loving 3 year old that we think is an Irish Troodle. Anyways, we love spoiling our fur baby and when the folks at Bugsy’s Box offered a chance to review one of their boxes, I couldn’t say no—I mean look at that face! Previously, we’ve tried PetBox and Barkbox, and they didn’t disappoint, so I was curious to see how the Bugsy Box compared when I did a review. Each Bugsy's Box includes 5 to 7 items which Read More

BarkBox Review
Let me just take a moment to say...Happy Snow Day to meee! That's right, I have a snow day. The entire county seems to have shut down in anticipation for this monster snow storm coming through Chicago, but we haven't seen much snow. Yet. Anyways, the snow day gave me an opportunity to go through my first BarkBox with Izzy! When I saw a Groupon for it, I jumped on it! So what is it? On the 15th of every month, BarkBox ships a bounty of high-end dog products to your dog's doorstep. Tailored Read More
