Jan, 10My ZZ Pops!
Hey all! Ron and I just got back from a mini vaca to visit my “pops” on the mountains (so that’s why I didn’t write over the weekend) and we had a great time. We took Frankie and Tucker too of course, while Brutus had some “cat” time at home. We cruised around on the Mule on Saturday and took a few mini hikes with the pups, then we took a moonlight ride on the Mule to do a little stargazing. It was soooo beautiful, because you don’t see the stars that clear here in the ‘burbs,’ ha ha ha. Here are a few pics of our adventure… enjoy!
My ZZ Pops!
It was a great weekend! Love, RobbieLee

Dec, 09Super Cute Nursery {Featured on Spearmint Baby}
I saw this Carter’s Modern Nursery on Spearmint Baby and just had to share it with all of you! I just love the color combination and the playfulness of it all. The great thing is that it can easily transition from a nursery to a little boys room! If you’re excited as I am, check out the rest of the amazing photos here!

Nov, 09There’s a new Private in town…
Cpl. Molly, the Marines Mascot of 7 years, is retiring and letting 7 month old Pvt. Belleau Wood step in.

This is a tradition that goes back to 1939 with an English bulldog named James Jolly Plum Duff. Belleau, this little “bundle of bounce,” was named after a World War I battle in France, and is already showing signs of that Marine Corps grit. ” ‘She’s really hardheaded on certain stuff,’ said Cpl. Shawn Dickens, her Marine handler. For instance, ‘sit’ is solid. ‘Stay,’ well, that’s another tale.” As for Molly, she will live her retirement in Texas with a Marine officer.
Happy Veterans’ Day to everyone and thank you to all of our brave troops for defending our country with pride. We love you all and hope you all come home soon! To my great friend, Sgt. Matthew Grogan, please be safe and we’ll see you for the Holidays!

Oct, 0920 things to do this Fall…
- Dust and vacuum those “forgotten” places like the ceiling, corners, along the baseboards, behind doors, light and fan fixtures, behind your desk and computer, etc.
- Re-organize that bookshelf you’ve been meaning to get to.
- Paint a room for an instant update!
- Pull out those dusty candles and turn off all of those lights for an Eco night in. It’s relaxing and it saves you money on your electricity bill.
- Change your air filter (every three months) to ensure that your air stays clean and your heater won’t short out on you this winter due to getting clogged up with dust bunnies.
- Bundle up and take a family walk for some quality time.
- Sort through that mail pile and separate into “file and keep” or recycle.
- Rearrange a room.
- Do you have a fireplace? If so, call that chimney sweep and prepare for the cold!
- Start planning that Thanksgiving menu.
- Go through your closets and drawers to donate unwanted items to those who need them. Coats and jackets would be great for this time of year!
- Who says that you can’t mix-n-match your sheet and bedding sets?! You’ll be spending more time indoors this season, so spice things up!
- Buy some flowers that are on discount at you next grocery run and display them on you dining room table to brighten your space up.
- Give yourself a mini mani and pedi when the kids are napping.
- Dust behind the washer and dryer to prevent fires caused by those little dust bunnies. This would also be a great time to get all of those loose socks and change that has fallen back there.
- Update those picture frames with more recent photos!
- Collect all of those wire hangers and return them to your dry cleaners for re-use or recycling. DID YOU KNOW: “It takes over 100 years for wire hangers to break down in landfills, according to Bob Kantor, CEO of Hanger Network.”
- Collect all of that loose change and put it into your child’s piggy bank!
- Grow you hair out this Fall and Winter then cut it and donate it to Locks of Love to make wigs for children with cancer.
- Make a cup of hot tea, coffee, or coco and site back with you favorite magazine or book. Relax.
