PUG PHONE

If having my dog's face on a custom iPhone case is wrong,
I don't want to be right.

And to think, I almost ordered a plain green one.

NEON SOUL

I finally realized what's missing in my life. An oxford shoe with a neon sole.

LAND & SKY

The perfect backdrop.

HEREFORD

These Hereford cows are the absolute cutest.
Their legs are so stout and their horns are so humble.
They do not know much about sharing, though.

HOME ON THE RANGE

I love Kansas highways.

STAIRWAY TO BALLOON HEAVEN

I love stairs, I love balloons, and I love things in large quantities. Put them together, and you have one the most magical staircases I have ever seen. I also love that the balloons are grey - how very chic and unexpected.

VIRGINIA IS FOR CLOVERS

With a curious little pug running around, I planted grass along the edge of our patio in lieu of shrubs and flowers this Spring. While I am quite proud of our small patch of green in the city, I am frustrated with the few yellow "dog spots" that have recently appeared. After a quick Google search, it is clear that CLOVER is the answer! If only I had known this two months ago!


Benefits of Clover:

• Nitrogen fixating
• High drought tolerance
• Green year round
  
• Pet urine resistant
  
• Grows in bad soil
  
• Fertilizes surrounding plants
• No record of it being toxic to dogs

PINING FOR THE FJORDS

It's been my dream for quite a while to live somewhere in Finnish Lapland. But Norway is a close second. You really can't blame that Norwegian Blue Parrot for pining.

I think I love this map just as much as I love the photographs.
