Dog Mom Gift Guide

Christmas is coming up, and a lot of Dog Moms like myself love getting gifts that include our pet. I’ve rounded up some amazing Dog Mom gifts (mostly from local shops) that I think any Dog Mom would love! Custom Pet Portrait It’s no secret that I think Remus is the cutest pup ever, so a custom portrait of him is so nice. Charissa created this adorable painting of Remus, and I love displaying it in my living room. A custom portrait would be a great gift for Dog Moms, and I love that this one…

Dog Mom Shirt // Memorial Day / 4th of July Outfit

Memorial Day was last month, and I kept my outfit pretty casual. BUT, the 4th of July is next week, and I think a similar outfit would work really well. I also went with some themed makeup, and I wanted to share in case you were looking for some inspiration! I even included Remus in the festiveness (I’m always a little extra, in case you’re not aware). This shirt is so cute, and is so fitting for me. I will cancel (or not even make) plans to hang out with Remus. Look at him, can you…

Remus’ First Gotcha Day

A year ago, I made a life changing decision. I’ve never had the urge to be a mom, unless it was to a furry little creature with four legs and a tail. I’ve always known being a dog mom is my true calling. My friend Brooke knew I’d been thinking about getting a puppy, and she told me she knew of someone giving one away. They’d found him on the side of the road on New Year’s Eve, and had taken him in. I sent the lady a message, and…

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.

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…

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…

LLR Headless Horseman Leggings

I’ve loved the headless horseman as long as I could remember. “Sleepy Hollow” was the first “scary” movie I could watch without being terrified. When I went to New York with my parents in 2012, I begged them to drive through Sleepy Hollow, and it was amazing. The #1 item on my bucket list is to spend Halloween in Sleepy Hollow (I’m looking at you 2020). The point is, I love Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman. So, when I found out LuLaRoe had Headless Horseman leggings, I knew I had to…

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…

Life update and new blog look!

Hey y’all. I’ve been taking a little bit of a blogging break… yes, again. I wanted to do a quick little update for a little bit of an explanation. July held my one year blogaversary! Now, I haven’t posted anything on it yet. Because, I only purchased my domain in July. It took me until September to actually post. So I will be officially celebrating in September, because that’s when I feel things really started. This year… I redid my blog! In case you haven’t noticed, my blog has a new look! Along with that…
