Happy! Happy!

I'm not a huge Valentines person -

but I do love the sentiment.
And what's not to love about chocolate and flowers?

Today I'd like to say thank you to my family.
They have always blazed a brilliant path in love, committment and marriage.

How lucky I am to have learned from the best.

And for Husband -

I still feel as giddy and happy as I did at this very moment.

Thank you for that.

 xoxo

From Greige to White . . .

Poor little puppers.

All the sand and salt and gunk from the winter

has turned her puffy white coat to a stinky greige.

Here's her journey back.

I know it's so hard to stay clean in the winter

Life is not easy for an all white dog.

I don't care what you read.

I'm not happpy about this one bit.

What's wrong with being greige?

Maybe I can shake this soap off?!?

 Someone, please.

Send for help.

That's it I'm out of here.

Now this is living.

I don't think Tizzy and Husband baby me at all.

Why would you think that?

Wait.

Is that a hair dryer in your hands?

Can't we talk about this?

Your nuts.

I'm outta here.

I know.

I am looking cute.

It's the genes - what can I say?

I love bones.

It's been a stressful morning.

No more pictures.

I need a nap.

Happy Weekend!

Not to put too fine a line on it . . .

It's house hunting season for Tizzy N' Husband.

We're desperate to move out of our glamorous 600 square feet of fun.

Can hardly believe we've managed to stay married for the 6 years

we've called this nutshell home.

Please send prayers or smoke signals

keep your fingers crossed or do a little dance.

Just let us find something and purchase it.

Approximately 3 seconds before someone else decides they want it too.

(Unfortunately, our last effort was 3 second too late.)

Being a dreamer and a schemer I have about million 'tear sheets'

for that day when I do have a home to do up.
Here's what I'm thinking today.

Welcome!
For some reason I'm obsessed with iron railings.

Please have a seat in the living room

(sans columns - a bit too fancy for me)

Let me just run into the bar and grab you a drink

(A girl can dream, right?)

What's that delicious smell?

Let's pop into the kitchen to see what Husband is whipping up!

Frozen pepperoni pizza and brownies?!?!

How lucky are we!

That's just my favorite dish ever!

(and side note what I made for dinner on Tuesday)

I know just the place to really enjoy these culinary masterpieces

( Side side note - I especially like this dining room because

it seems like more than just a formal space for Thanksgiving dinner)

Let me just pop into the powder room to freshen up a bit.

What's that?!?
The Housewives are on.
Quick to the den!

Thanks for stopping by!

We can do it . . .

Just hold on.

Hold. on.



Just looking out . . .

I'm on a roll today, huh?

Do you ever find something that's too good not to share?

I usually call my sisters and then we all end up with one.

If I don't I am normally posed with the question,

"Why didn't you get one for me?"

So I found these -  on one of my FAVORITE blogs.

I've all ready sent them off to one of my besties as a birthday present.

And I have to admit I was totally patting myself on the back.

Job. well. done.

Since valentine's day is almost upon us.

I thought now might be the perfect time to share this real gem.

Do yourself a favor and let your man know to go ahead and get you anything from here.

Really, trully - ANYTHING!!

Or your a special gal - go do it for yourself.

Shop Furbish

And check out her blog.

As my mother would say -

It's the most to say the least.

Snow bound . . .

Since lots of people are house bound today I thought I'd pass along a new treasure.

High Gloss Magazine.

Just launched yesterday.

Inspiring interiors can help you walk around your house and rearrange it while your stuck inside it.

Makes sense, no?

If you miss the days of Domino Magazine - you will love this.

National Treasure for a Snow Emergency . . .

It's tough going in Chicago today

I'm not there but any weather event that nicknamed a snowpocalypse isn't good.
 In honor of that I thought you guys might need a little boost to get you going.

Don't know anyone who can do that better than Miss Tina Turner herself.

This might be my favorite song of all time.



Pop on your headphones, bundle up and get out there.

Is it just me or does anyone else see a lot of Beyonce's Single Ladies in these?

One more to pass along.
Next time I get a maraca in my hand I'm going to work it just like these back up singers.
Fair warning to all!

Good luck out there!
