Happy Planner Flip Through | Scrapbook Sunday and #BestLifePets

04•02•17

Hello, everyone! Welcome to my first ever Happy Planner flip through!

So, last weekend I found myself with a small pocket of time and decided to film a flip-through of my Happy Planner project. I’ve never done anything like this before, though I’ve watched TONS of other people’s flip-throughs.

Despite all the craziness of the past few weeks, I’ve tried to work on this project in bits and pieces here and there because it’s fun and relaxing. I’m someone who always needs a creative outlet, a side project to keep my mind and hands busy.

Plus, knowing that our time with our pets is so precious and so limited, I want to capture all those little moments that are easy to lose in everyday chaos.

Also, Jodi, the incredible design genius behind Kol’s Notes, has been busy creating super adorable sticker sets, and she’s working on some other fun printables. This is just the type of project that’s fun to do… there’s no right or wrong. You don’t need any special skills or supplies. That’s what I tried to share in my planner flip-through video. Even the pages that aren’t super pretty are still capturing moments that will mean something to me in years to come.

You can watch here, or head on over to YouTube if it’s not loading below:

As we head into April, it’s of course time for some spring cleaning. That’s the theme for the month, too! 🙂

Do you guys remember way-back-when I did that huge pet product sample and supply clean-out? I gave away TONS of fun goodies. Well, it’s time for that again! And it’s such a perfect fit for the April theme (in fact, you saw a peek of the plan in the flip-through vid above…) so stay tuned for that.

Otherwise, I hope you’re having a lovely weekend. Thanks for watching, and I can’t wait to see what YOU create for #BestLifePets. Leave your links in the comments below so I can check it out.

In the meantime, please take a sec to visit Jodi’s sweet and adorable post about how to celebrate Gotcha Days and birthdays (+ free stickers)!

Happy Sunday, y’all!

May BarkBox review and chance for a freebie toy #PupreciationWeek

05•26•15

April showers bring… a free squeaky flower bouquet toy from BarkBox!

Wait.

That’s not how it goes.

But, it’s correct! BarkBox is hosting a Follower Appreciation Week!!!

Here’s the stock caption they sent with the info: “Thank you for every supportive comment, every thoughtful ‘like’, and everything you do to make this a true community. To me, you’re sweeter than the first flower after a month of showers. Head over to BarkBox.com and treat your sweet self to 10% OFF any new BarkBox subscription. AND I want to send you flowers. 😛 There are only 500 BarkShop Flower Bouquets for me to pull from when you use my code to fetch your BarkBox, so hurry over before all the good ones get plucked!”

So, until May 28, you can get a free toy thrown in with a BarkBox subscription. Since I’m a BarkBox affiliate, I also have a 10% off discount code you can use. Click here: Using this code automatically gets you that bouquet since it’s only available to affiliates. (Though it’s limited to 500 freebies, so you have to move quickly…)

Curious about BarkBox? Check out our May unboxing video below. Hint: It looks longer than it is because there’s some funny footage I had to add at the end of Lucas testing out one of the May treats. Seriously – EVERY treat from that bag is like that. So funny and so bizarre!

There ya have it! Overall, not the best month ever but not bad either. If you’ve been thinking about BarkBox, now’s a great time since you get the discount and the free toy. If you have questions about the subscription or want more info or glimpses into past boxes, please leave a comment! I am driving to BlogPaws (yippeee!) today so won’t be checking any messages while I’m on the road. It may be later tonight when I reply, but I will reply – promise!

Have a great day, everyone!

Are your dogs obsessed with bugs?

07•01•10

Emmett and Lucas are obsessed with insects of all kinds. They chase down moths and lightening bugs. They watch caterpillars crawl across the patio and sniff the little ladybugs that crawl through our garden. They gobble up spiders – which totally freaks me out because I am irrationally terrified of spiders. But their favorite activity is fly hunting.

The flies have been really bad the past couple weeks. I don’t spray anything to get rid of them, but Lucas has taken it upon himself to rid our home of those pesky flies. Periodically, I hear him launch up, scramble around, sometimes crash into a window or wall, and snap flies out of the air. He doesn’t eat them, though. Once dead, he spits their carcasses out on the floor for me to step on/sweep up.

Do your dogs do things like this??

Anyway, last night, Lucas slammed into the window while in pursuit of a fly. Somehow he knocked the fly down the air vent. Their reaction was so funny – and so prolonged – that I was able to grab my phone and film their reactions to the poor fly who was buzzing his last buzzes in our vent.

(So I don’t know why these aren’t showing a screen shot, but if you click play, they do play.)
