Happy Dog Day! I could not resist celebrating this day with all of you and use it as an excuse to show off my furbaby and hope that you’ll share yours too! This is Gigi, Rob and my 10 year old Miniature Pinscher mix that we rescued from a shelter when she was three. While […]
Welcome to our new series Blissful Days! We’re going to give you an excuse to pop open that bottle of champagne on a Tuesday night or indulge in dessert while on your “diet”. Today, we are going to celebrate Pecan Pie Day! This is a great first celebration since Judi makes a mean Pecan Pie […]
