Good-bye 2014!

Good-bye 2014! I will not miss you. It wasn't a bad year but it was a strange one. Looking back, I felt like I was in a fog all year. But at the same time I gained a lot of clarity around some life questions.

About a year ago around this time, D and I talked about 2014 being the year where all the ingredients we had picked to go into the 'cake' we were making was finally ready to be baked. And in 2014, we would be baking the cake.  Looking back now I think the analogy was about right. And I think in 2015, the cake will be ready to be taken out of the oven....we will just have to remember the #1 beagle life lesson ;)

in the moment

I like reading the last few pages of a book before I get there, I look up spoilers for movies and tv shows, getting my tarot cards read, I like knowing what's ahead. I like being able to make the best of opportunities and also brace myself for the low points.

Lately thought I've been feeling a bit stuck.  I'm trying to live in the moment, train and use some patience and it's hard! How do all you spiritual live day by day peeps do it?!?!!

summer love ♥ puppy love ♥ life with dogs

Summer love, beautiful day, happy.

Hau‘oli ♥

We just got back from an amazing family (minus the bbs) vacation! For me the vacation is one I will never forget. It also helped me with this next transition in my life. I've come back feeling renewed and re-energized for what's to come next.

Feeling, hau‘oli (peaceful, happy).

lazy sunday ♥ puppy love ♥ life with dogs

I ♥ lazy Sundays. We spent the day choosing photos to actually print (omg!) and put into frames (what!?) and hang on the wall (what a concept!!!).

Here's me taking a break with Hammie. He didn't like having to follow me around the house as I tried to figure out where to hang things. He prefers it much more when I'm his pillow.

obsessions lately

My mind has been racing lately. And, there are two things that I've been obsessed with that have helped calmed the million thoughts running through my head:


1. Candy Crush

2. Buying an assortment of dresses! I just can't get enough!

As I write this post I realize the photo of me in my new red dress oddly looks like the candy crush girl! LOL.

How do you deal with stress and over-thinking things?

puppies and cupcakes ♥ puppy love ♥ life with dogs

We had a lovely Valentine's Day. We usually don't celebrate but Dave surprised me with a box of yummy cupcakes! We had cupcakes for dessert at our wedding so this was extra sweet.

Here are a few pics from yesterday. Puppies and cupcakes, who could ask for more?!!!

workout time ♥ puppy love ♥ life with dogs

Dave and I are starting up our workout regime again. Hampton and ZuZu have become accustomed to our unusual activity (I wonder what they really think we are doing?). This comic pretty much sums up the routine.

Today I caught a funny pic of Hampton as he was 'taking it to the next level',  do you think he was trying to tell us something was starting to smell a little funny (ahem, Daddy?):

Here's a pic of ZuZu while we do sit ups. She's so cute. Sit ups = belly rubs in her mind.

We had a longer than usual workout today and it ran into Hampton's dinner time. Here's a pic of him as he was pacing upstairs waiting for us to finish.

Hampton refused to come back down and sent ZuZu to give us sad face and remind us what time it was.

I have to admit I had no problem ending the session a few minutes early...I can't let my bb's starve can I?

feeling overwhelmed!

It's time to re-vamp our website. I have also been meaning to start blogging again and posting more of our photos and comics on our website but feeling stuck on where to start. Especially with all the social media apps etc etc out there, it feels a bit overwhelming.

I've mostly been using facebook and a teeny bit of twitter but like everyone else I'm getting bored of facebook. Not sure if I'm too late for pinterest, I love instagram but only have a personal private profile, I'm still not sure about Google + (are people using it now?) and what do I do with whatever else is out there? aaaahhhhh!!!!! :)

I guess I should just start with this website. I admit I've been neglecting it because it's so easy to just post on facebook. But I don't want facebook to take place of what we originally started here and I don't want all our stuff stored on Zuckerpoo's site.

I shouldn't let laziness and wanting to revamp the website be a reason to stop blogging. One step at a time, ok that's what I'll do...re-start blogging and posting back on our site, while working on the re-vamp. Thanks for listening... :)
