Ever since I came to live in my forever home, in August 2013, I have had tons of fun with my mom and dad, Wendi and Bobby. They have taken me places, allowed me to try new things and basically spoiled me. Being a terrier-beagle mix from the Humane Society, I must say I never dreamed of such fun. But the most recent adventure I had wasn’t with Mom and Dad. It was with my Aunt Randi and Uncle Shaun (whom I love to pieces!). When Mom and Dad went away to their blogging conference earlier in … [Read more...]

Isabella’s Reign as Princess Finally Begins
When my niece, Ashley, asked me if I would want to be with her during the delivery of her third child, I was like "Yes! I was going to ask you if I could come." Now don't think me weird, but since I have never given birth, I thought it would be cool to see this miracle happen.

I didn't ask any questions, other than what time it was showing. Turns out the reason for it was in celebration of its 35th … [Read more...]
Lombardi’s: America’s First Pizzeria is a Great Place to get a Pie
When a co-worker who once worked in New York City recommended I go to Lombardi's for pizza while in Manhattan, I had no clue it was the first pizzeria in America. I knew Emily would not steer me in the wrong direction when it comes to pizza, but I was pleasantly surprised to learn about the spot it has in the history of pizza in America. As I have written before, I grew up outside Boston, where they make what is called a New York-style pizza. Well, the New York pizza is based on the … [Read more...]
Five Things to do in The Big Apple
We planned our trip to New York City for about a year, give or take a month or two. Through this time frame we would ask friends what they would suggest we do when we were there. We got lots of great ideas, too many to fit into the short five day stay. So now that I am a "pro" at touring the Big Apple, I thought I'd let you know the things I tell someone who was about to visit NYC. Go to a Broadway Show: Whether you like musicals or not, there are tons of options available in the … [Read more...]
