Seasoned Oyster Crackers

It’s holiday season, and that means plenty of holiday parties. I’ve teamed up with other local bloggers to share holiday decor, recipes, style tips, and more. Be sure to check out the bottom of this post for links to the sites of the other participating parties! Today I’m sharing an easy recipe perfect for holiday parties. Some parties have food provided, but some ask that party attendees bring a dish. Seasoned oyster crackers are some of my favorite snacks, and they’re always a big hit at gatherings. They’re also great…

Evans Orchard with Remus 2017

A couple of weeks ago, Remus and I went to Evans Orchard. I go every year, and I was very excited to take him this year! We took a little walk through the apple trees. We matched in our fox shirts. I picked the cutest little pumpkin in the patch. We snuggled up in some plaid flannel. I think he enjoyed himself! It ended up being a little warmer than expected, but he loved running around and sniffing all the new smells! I definitely can’t wait to make this a yearly tradition.

Remus’ First Halloween

I’ve wanted a lot of things in life, but being a dog mom is probably at the very top of the list. Remus came into my life in January, and I love that little pup, no matter how naughty he is. This is probably the most exciting thing for me – having a puppy on Halloween. I’m sharing some photos from Remus’ first Halloween. Yes I went a little overboard, and yes he is a very spoiled pup. But it’s his first Halloween, and he deserves all the happiness…

Doggy bowties and bandanas

    I’ve collaborated with my friend Kyla to show off some super cute doggy bandanas and bowties. I asked her to make these for me for Remus, because of course he needs to be extra cute all the time, and I love having him festive for holidays (these particular ones are Halloween themed). She’s created a post showing how she made these, so be sure to check her site out here!     First is a ghost bowtie. I love that it just slides onto his collar. Remus looks so handsome and dapper. Since the…

Fox Makeup Tutorial

Two years ago, I was a fox for Halloween. I found some fox ears and a tail at Target, and I was really excited. The costume ended up being one of my favorites (I LOVE foxes), and I won best costume at the party I attended. I’ll talk details at the end of this post about the actual costume itself, but today I wanted to…

3 Easy Halloween Pet Costumes for Dogs

Halloween is quickly approaching (seriously, where did September and the first half of October go?!?), and it’s time to start panicking about last-minute costumes. Do you have a pooch you forgot you wanted to dress? I won’t share what Remus is officially going to be yet, but I coerced him with lots of treats and toys to help me show you 3 easy costumes for pups this year. The first is a pumpkin. I found this costume at Target (https://www.target.com/) at the Dollar Spot. I was there last week and this was…

Resting Witch Face Shirt + Tulle Skirt

*Some of these links may be affiliate links. You are not required to use these links when purchasing. I was not compensated in any way for this post. All opinions are my own. Halloween is almost here, even though it feels more like Summer than Fall here in Kentucky. But that means there’s still plenty of time to wear short sleeves, and I stumbled across the perfect Halloween shirt thanks to my friend Tif from Bright On A Budget. I’ve always been told that my resting face is, well, not very happy, and this Resting Witch…

Pumpkin Spice Coffee Creamer Recipe

I was sent this coffee by Shuffle Bean in exchange for a review. All opinions are my own. Fall is so close I can feel it. Pumpkin flavors are officially out in stores and coffee shops nationwide, and that makes me a very happy girl. Fall is my favorite, and I am very basic when it comes to my love of pumpkin. Pumpkin coffees can get expensive. It comes in K-cups, ground coffee, creamer, and many different coffee shop concoctions. I’ve teamed up with Shuffle Bean Coffee to bring you a recipe for a creamer you can…

Remus’ First Valentine’s Day

If you missed my Life Update post, I talked about changes to the blog. I lost most of my content. You can check out the post here to find out more details. That content included a Valentine’s Day shoot with Remus, and it’s the cutest thing ever. I wanted to share those sweet baby pictures of Remus again, for those who missed it the first time or wanted to see them again. Sorry not sorry for bragging on my little boy. There are also some photo shoots coming up soon – At Halloween and Christmas I…
