A little pick-me-up. I haven’t been feeling too well, so my sweet honeybunches brought these home to cheer me up. Every time I look at them, I feel a little better! Have a lovely weekend everybody!!

Funny fur faces. Panda has a trigger where if you scratch the side of her face, she yawns/snarls. At first I thought she was actually upset but as it turns out it’s just some kind of reflex. It’s the only time you’ll ever see a snarl on Panda ;) Also – look how she made it onto the bed again. I don’t know how that happened *looks at floor sheepishly*. Maybe one day I’ll make it through an entire week without posting about Ms. Fuzzbucket (newest nickname). Happy Friday, everybody!

A little snowstorm. It’s weird to say this mid-February, because I’m normally itching for spring by now, but we’ve had so little snow this year that I’m enjoying this gorgeous snowfall. Right now every last little branch is being blanketed in white sparklies, and it’s beautiful. Time to build a fire and order in. Wobbly Panda video, for funsies. Have a wonderful, cozy weekend everybody!

Helping friends with their projects! The lovely and talented Nadyne was working on a video to showcase her fabulous, homey and very inviting home-salon Chez Snips so of course I didn’t hesitate. Even with a move to Hudson I still love heading over to Nadyne’s to get my hair cut – it’s like going to a friend’s house. A beautiful, adorable friend with amazing hair. Who proceeds to make YOUR hair amazing, fills you with laughter, and sends you on your way. Seriously, make an appointment.

You’ll also catch a cameo of my dear friend and beautiful mama Bess with brand-new sweet baby Edwin, PLUS a glimpse at the cover of the very first print issue of Pure Green Magazine!!

Nadyne directed me to look like a dork. Actually she didn’t, but perplexingly, that’s exactly how I look. Sorry Nadyne :) Congratulations on your beautiful video, I love it! Happy weekend everyone!

A little flexibility. Everyone gets to break the rules now and then – even giant fuzzfaces who aren’t normally allowed on the bed. Would you look at that is-this-really-happening face? We’ve created a monster. Happy Friday!! Hope you all get to sleep in this weekend.
