Meet Charlie!

This pup has brought us so much joy over the past few weeks! He has also brought a lot of sleepless nights... But, when you look at that cute little furry face it is all worth it!


Interview with Charlie:

Name: Charlie Rumple
Nicknames: Charles Barkley, Chuck, Chuckie, Charle D (dog)
Breed: Maltese Shih tzu mix 
Age: About 8 weeks
Weight: Almost 3 lbs and growing! I should only get to about 10 lbs.
Teeth: just starting to grow in... I love chewing everything!


Favorite Food: Whatever is in my food dish. Right now there are hard pebbles. Mommy used to feed me soft food mixed with it, but since I have teeth now I only eat the hard food. I love eating!

Favorite Past Time: I'm learning to play fetch and I'm getting pretty good. Chewing on everything before my mom and dad stop me. Biting on mom and dad's pant legs when they walk through the house. Napping.

Favorite Toy: It's a toss up between my monkey and my cow... 

{please excuse our couch that need to be lint rolled badly!}



Thanks for your time, Charlie! 
You can go back to chewing on everything now...



I'm baaaack!

I'm baaaaack! 

I'm feeling refreshed after my little blog hiatus. I must say, I did miss it. So much has happened over the last few months and I'm so excited to share some recent happenings with you guys.

If you follow me on instagram, you may already be caught up on everything!

Here are a few snapshots of what I've been up to:

1 // Got myself a new little Kate Spade crossbody for Vday and I'm obsessed! It's the perfect everyday size and the leather is super soft!

2 // Went on a work trip to CO and ended the week skiing with Bill. So fun!

3 // Made a new recipe: Cilantro Lime Shrimp Tacos. So yummy! Recipe on the blog soon!

4 // We got a new dining room table from Pottery Barn! Our dining room area has been empty for a while. I'm so excited to start the decorating process in this room. We recently purchased a new rug and curtains. Next up are chairs and hopefully hanging a pretty light fixture above. I will share the before and after photos when it's complete!

5 // Attended one of my very good friend's wedding here in Columbus. I was able to help set up the tables and they turned out so gorgeous!! 

6 // We got a PUPPY!! Meet Charlie! He is a Maltese Shih tzu mix and was 8 weeks old when we got him. He is a cute little fur ball, but boy do I feel like we have an infant! this guy needs constant attention and wakes up in the middle of the night to be let out. We are currently crate training him, so hopefully all the sleepless nights will pay off in the near future! More on this pup to come :)

There it is in a nutshell folks! My life as of the past few months...

Coming up next week I will share more photos of the pup and some new additions to the house.


Taking a little break...

Hi friends!

I am taking a little hiatus from the blog for a little while. 
I have been feeling a little overwhelmed in my day-to-day and sometimes it helps just to pause and
 re-evaluate priorities.



Don't get me wrong, I love blogging and enjoy all the support from the blogging community. I just know sometimes there are more productive things I could be doing with my time... 
Like working out? Cleaning and decorating our house?

I also need to focus on organizing my life and making sure I am spending the appropriate time with my husband, friends and family.

Have you ever felt the need to take a little blogging break?

I am even contemplating taking a break from {gasp!} social media?

Thoughts?
