I love the herringbone wood floor pattern in our flat. I always wanted a place with a pretty wood patterned floor and now I have one!

James is quite comfortable in our new flat in Vienna. We brought

When we lived in Orlando, FL we had the corded Dyson Animal. It was a great vacuum cleaner and it was well worth the money for our 1800 square foot house. But when we moved to Washington, DC we didn’t

On Saturday around noon Chris and I were both sitting at our computers when we heard a loud siren. It sounded like the siren you hear in old movies – something to let you know that things were about to

We made it to Vienna, Austria!

Our flat is in the 4th district – just south of the 1st district which is Central Vienna. We can walk to the center of town and it takes about 20 minutes. We can also

We are moving on to our next big adventure – in Austria!!!

We visited Vienna a few years ago and I fell in love with the city. I remember checking into our hotel and opening the windows and I heard

We have been living in Georgetown in Washington, DC for the last four years. It has been a dream! Seriously! When we lived in Orlando, FL I was always telling Chris, “Someday I want to have 500 square

We headed over to the Georgetown Apple Store and James went with us of course. He met a lot of new friends while Chris shopped for our World Travel Adapter Kits.

I actually met a family that was visiting

We bought James a crate for his big move. We wanted him to be comfortable with the crate so we put his bed inside and also his water bottle. We actually bought the water bottle about a month ago and

We haven’t been in a regular habit of posting on the blog since we moved to Washington, DC. But changes are coming! I asked Chris to update the look of the blog and he doesn’t mind that I sketch out

Oh my goodness – two of my favorite things in one candy bar! Milka chocolate is something I first tried in Austria and I fell in love with the taste. It is a Swiss German chocolate and it is even better

I love The Company Store. I learned about them years ago from my sorority sisters. Roommates in the sorority house planned matching bedding and room decorations and they usually ordered their bedding

Check out this house we found in Virginia – I told Chris it was a bipolar house!

It looks pretty much like every other home built in 1956 in Virginia:

But then you look at the addition on the

I love all things Poodle! I tend to find the most random Poodle objects on the internet. The latest find is this inflatable Poodle toy at Neiman Marcus. It would be a cute decoration in a child’s bedroom

James went to the Ophthalmologist. No, he doesn’t need glasses! But we think he still looks pretty cute in this pair of reading glasses!

James tends to have a bit of a drippy eye from time to

For years now I have spent an enormous amount of time on my phone deleting email. It’s a huge waste of my time and after trying to find a way to stop using email entirely I finally decided to just solve

I love all things “Poodle” so when I saw these Zombie Poodle dishes from Calamityware I had to post about them!

Can you spot the little Zombie Poodles?

Wow, this week has been interesting in Washington, DC. Tuesday was a long night for everyone. I tried to stay up to see the results. I originally decided to go to bed around 11pm. But then I couldn’t

Sunbrella is a great brand with fun summer products. So I can’t believe I am just now finding out that they make pool floats! I was out of town and the hotel pool had these Sunbrella pool floats.

The other day I was in our local TJ Maxx here in Georgetown. We are pretty lucky that DC has such a great TJ Maxx. The ones in Florida were painful for me – you had to dig if you wanted to find anything

When we lived in Florida, I hated TJ Maxx. The store was a mess and you had to dig to find anything worth finding. But here in Georgetown, the TJ Maxx is amazing! They have clothes, shoes, housewares,
