Weekend Wrap Up

Happy Friday! Depending on where you live, you may or may not be hunkering down for the first big winter storm of 2016. We certainly are preparing over here, and by preparing I mean going to the supermarket and buying lots of comfort food and carbs-which is sort of redundant...

The Shop This blog did a fun little round up of Eight Ideas To Survive a Winter Storm in Style-thanks for mentioning our zhush.com mugs!

If you've been following the blog or on Instagram or Facebook, then by now I"m sure you know we are proud new puppy owners! My husband and I are bleary eyed exhausted and it's more work than I'd anticipated-but luckily our little Cosmo has the sweetest disposition, not to mention his face! Thanks so much for all the great tips, comments and feedback!

I took the photo above on our way home from Vermont last weekend. My husband and I have admired this old home/tavern for years-when we saw it was on the market, I just had to take a photo and then look up the inside online. It's so charming, you can see it here.

A few more links of interest:

- My friend Bonnie has a fabulous travel blog with fun and interesting ideas and itineraries - there's also a lot of truly great info and tips for High School students and their parents with respect to visiting colleges across the country. Check out DayTripper 365 here.

- Speaking of travel-I'm the worst at packing. My friend (a great packer) recommended these little reminder pads-I can't wait to use them and finally NOT forget at least three significant items per trip.

- 10 Ways To Look 5 Years Younger. I'm a sucker for these types of things, but the advice was pretty solid.

-Shopping for cute dog accessories is my new favorite thing! Need this sweet little bed.

Stay safe and warm everyone!
