Today's Creations!

created early this morning

over a good cup of coffee, a bowl of cereal and good music

with my doggies at my feet keeping them warm.

the perfect morning!

but where did she go?

This morning I was folding laundry and cleaning the kitchen, drinking my coffee and checking my emails…the usual, when it’s early and the house is still quiet.

So I am going about my business when I realise, Clara is sleeping on her doggy chair and the cats are resting on my office chairs…but where is Mika?

So I start. I look high and low and everywhere in between, she’s nowhere to be found.

Bah! I figure she’ll eventually show up.

I am hanging the laundry to dry in the living room on the drying rack when I hear her snort (she is a short nose dog which means breathing and snoring are really loud!).
After following the sound of her snoring… I discovered that she had somehow figured out how to unzip her new doggy bed cover and had transformed it into a doggy tent or sleeping bag of some sort.

Ha! So smart and very human-like talent, to unzip a zipper!?
Now I have rezipped it every time and she keeps on unzipping it.

My dog knows how to work a zipper!
What strange human things do your dogs do to make you laugh?

lulu & coco

My wonderful friends Christine & Randy came for a visit from Ottawa to have dinner with us last night. They came bearing wonderful gifts for our baby jelly bean.

Her mother has recently opened a children’s clothing, bedding and accessory store in Ottawa named lulu&coco. Christine’s mother, Denise, is a very talented woman and since I can remember my friend always wore, growing up, the cutest ensembles all hand made by her mom. Now we can all be as lucky and spoil our children with well made, handmade, children’s clothing, accessories and bedding by supporting a local mother whom has opened her doors to the public.
Little Miss Jelly bean received a beautifully knit hat in the most wonderful blues and pinks with a gorgeous flower on it as well as two colourful and soft hand sewn receiving blankets. She will most definitely be coming home in one of those beauties and I can’t wait to put her in that hat.
Thanks Christine & Denise for these wonderful and thoughtful gifts made from the heart for our little girl!

So for any of you shopping in the area, or if you want to send her an email (perhaps she ships, not sure yet), go and visit her online store here or drop by.


*As a side note, there are these fabulous handmade washable diapers I have my eye on and have been put on my “to buy” list! for baby.*

Spoil the dogs!

Hopefully this doggy bed will prove special and be loved and not chewed!
Ah one can hope when spoiling her dogs with an oversized new doggy bed.
Why is it that dogs insist on chewing up blankets and doggy beds no matter how many times you say NO! ? but hey, no matter what they do or how many things they chew, I love them!

(seriously this bed is big enough to fit a great dane I am sure... or at least let my two beasts cuddle on it and they can each have their own side of the 'bed')

Baby Frank

Ok so as much as I hope this little one is a mommy’s girl, usually more often than not, the saying is right and in my case it has always been true… I am totally a daddy’s girl (which means Ricardo's chances of having a daddy's girl are looking good!).
I remember tagging along everywhere with my dad and it’s not because I am all grown up that that has changed.
My dad and I have always gone for a drive when life gets hectic or just to spend some time together and this past Sunday was no different.
It was a nice sunny day and we decided, let’s take a drive… that took us across the border and into Target. Let me first say while I know I should be supporting my own (Zellers), Target just beats Zellers’ butt by a thousand miles.
Here are some of the finds I just couldn’t pass up on!

seriously ...paul frank pj onesie with polka dot ruffles on the butt

too good to pass up on
