  • Rayne Whole Food Dog Treat Review & Giveaway

  • It's been over four months now we've fed our boys exclusively Rayne Whole Food and I am still shocked at the massive improvement we've seen in Hermann's health and general demeanour. Both boys have noticeably softer coats, their stool is solid and healthy, and for Hermann - all skin issues have gone. All. GONE. And he's dropped close to 15 pounds! (does Rayne make a dog-mom formula I wonder? LO[...]
  • Vintage addition to main floor powder room

  • We were recently given what the generous gift giver thought was an antique bicycle pump. After some research online, I discovered it was a vintage garden sprayer. My guess is that you would connect a hose from your water basin and then pump the water out through the holes at the end. Kind of a like an old school super soaker. We both think it's quite lovely looking and so I put my brain to figu[...]
  • my dirty little secret...

  • When people say, "you've got such a beautiful home!" I smile, say thank you, and frankly...agree - I love our home, and it is beautiful (to me, which is what counts right?). But I have a bit of secret.... On most normal days there are dozens of dog toys strewn about (I picked up five in the kitchen alone this morning...), the chairs in the dining room and the stools in the kitchen are servin[...]
  • Jazzleberry Jam Living Room!

  • Remember when I said I was thinking of painting our living room Jazzleberry Jam pink? well...I DID IT! It's pretty fabulous. And by pretty fabulous, I mean it's SUPER pretty and SUPER fabulous:) ! To appreciate the fabulousness, here is the boring 'sell my house beige' living room before.... ...and then the fun began:) I put the furniture back the way it was, but took the oppor[...]
  • Fabulous Fall Photos

  • my view from the saddle on an evening hike with my boys my boys:) I love this shot! The fog that morning was beautiful. Every Thanksgiving weekend Fall Fair comes to our town. Cotton candy while on the Ferris wheel is pretty much non-negotiable for me:) Ummm...this isn't so much about the quality of the photo, but more the fact that Fall means #PSL...and that's awesome.
  • My weekend in photos

  • This past weekend was lovely. It was also a long one. That makes it particularly lovely. The weekend started with this stunning rainbow. You could see the whole arc, the entire beautiful rainbow going from one side of our town to the other. This photo doesn't do it justice at all. But I do love the old barn. I love old barns. On Saturday afternoon I was lucky enough to join the h[...]
  • The Boys

  • If you know me IRL, you will know where this post is headed. "The Boys" as they are known, are our two dogs, Hermann-Maier and Eddie-Vedder. Both named after greatness. If you don't know who one or either are, google them - it will only help your next game of Trivial Pursuit. To say we have hundreds of photos of the boys would make me a liar. We have thousands. I kid you not. Ah, the beau[...]
  • Project Staircase (also why I love blogs)

  • Last winter I painted the hallway. And by hallway I mean the entire first floor main entrance, the staircase up to the second floor, and the entire second floor hallway. Basically, every ‘common’ area that isn’t a room. I’ll share some pics of that project later, because it was quite the process. I’m a bit pressed for time this week because I leave for Japan on Saturday! JAPAN! So excited. More to[...]
  • A little bit about me

  • My name is Heather. I like heels, dressing up, sweatpants, my rubber boots, getting my hair done, doing DIY projects, cooking, eating, taking photos, and painting. I am woman of many talents and interests. This list doesn’t even begin to cover it. This blog may, it may not. I think of my barbecue as an extension of my kitchen. Note the MY. By day I work in Public Relations. I have[...]
