I am taking a brief hiatus the remainder of this week because my beloved dog, Dakota, passed away last week and my heart is still not fully recovered from the loss of my oldest fur baby. He was 16 years old. Death, no matter if it is human or animal, is hard. I cried when Dakota passed away, simply because he was not only a family pet, but he was my baby, my little man, my Koter-boat.

Who says dogs and cats can’t get along! My dad has four […]
My Week in Pins

I may go a few days between “pinning” things to my Pinterest profile, and then I’ll pin three or four hours everyday for a week straight! My husband will see me using my iPad and ask, “Whatcha doin’?” to which I’ll reply, “Pinning!” So I decided to start a new “category” on my blog and call it “My Week in Pins.” […]
