When I get up early to get work done I can always count on Mackie to wake up with me and keep me company. We’ve got a little routine.. she follows me out of bed, I let her out in the backyard for a few minutes and then she eats her breakfast while I drink my coffee. It’s our special morning quiet time before the rest of our house wakes up and chaos ensues.

I think what really gets her out of bed is her obsession with her shredded blend lamb and rice by Purnia Pro Plan. As I mentioned in my last post we’ve been feeding it to her for a few months and love how healthy it is for her. It has so many benefits formulated based on Mackie’s needs, I know we’re giving her exactly what she needs right now.

When I start to see our stash going down, I can easily order it with a few clicks on Amazon. So convenient for everyone!

Once I settle in at my computer Mackie follows me and snoozes by my feet. After awhile she gets an energy burst and goes outside again to run around and chase squirrels and birds or just lay in the sun. And then she gets tired and comes back for a little nap… repeating this over and over until her human sister gets up to play with her. She is truly thriving and living her best life – I think it’s thanks in part to Purina Pro Plan.

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile you know that Mackie, our 7-year-old French Bulldog, is our first baby. She’s as sweet as can be and puts up with a toddler who is still learning the meaning of the word “gentle” without being phased. We’ve been through a lot with Mackie. On her second Birthday she needed to have emergency spinal surgery which was a really scary experience. We got past it and you’d never know what she went through, but I’ve never gotten over the fear that it could happen again.

Because of this we’ve always babied her in any way we can. We take her diet very seriously and set out to find a food she’d love that was good for her. Enter Purina Pro Plan. It has guaranteed live probiotics that support digestive health. It’s high in protein, to meet her needs as a small but active dog. It’s rich with calcium, vitamin A and linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid for healthy skin and coat.

We’ve been feeding her the shredded blend lamb and rice formula for small breed dogs for awhile now. She loves it and we love that it’s giving her everything she needs. The best part (for us) is that we order it from Amazon so we don’t even need to leave our house. I don’t know who is more excited when the shipment arrives… Mackie or me. It’s safe to say we’ll be feeding this to her for a long time!

Happy Valentine’s Day from the cutest little besties. Crosby gets more obsessed with Mackie every day so it was only fitting to do a little love day shoot with the two of them. I remember last Valentine’s Day so clearly and can’t believe it’s already been a year. Crosby was only 11 months old and we went shopping and mailed out her Bday invitations. This year we made Valentines and are going out to breakfast for heart shaped bagels. So crazy that next year I’ll have another little Valentine.

(See my post from last year with the same balloons here)

Jeff and I typically don’t go overboard on Valentine’s Day. This year we’re actually celebrating tomorrow with a special 4D ultrasound and dinner. We tried the 4D’s with Crosby but I had anterior placenta so it was really hard to get a good shot. Fingers crossed we get one this time!

I got Crosby this dress before the holidays and she actually wore it one of the times she visited Santa. It’s out of stock now but I thought it was perfect for Valentine’s Day too!

I found a few other dresses I love with a similar vibe:

One of our favorite brands for clothes for Crosby is Masala Baby. This dress is so cute for spring/summer. Love the tassels.

This dress is so sweet and a great neutral. Thinking about getting it for family pictures next weekend.

This one is another sweet dress that’s the prettiest shade of blush.

This velvet dress has a similar vibe and it’s currently on sale.

Love anything that comes in a two-pack… how perfect are these dresses?

The prettiest party dress and such a great price!

Hope you have a great Valentine’s Day! Thank you so much for reading and following. XO

Today Crosby is one and I’m trying to wrap my head around how that happened. It’s been hands down the fastest and best year of my life, and I know each year is going to go by even quicker from here on out. We had a bit of a rough start because she was so tiny and didn’t really want to eat, but we got through it and now even that seems like a blur.

I am crazy obsessed with all things cozy and lounge-y right now. At 29 weeks pregnant I want to be as comfortable as possible at all times. Topping my list of current favorites is this blanket by Leesa. You may remember my mattress post with Leesa last spring, well I’ve partnered with them again to share this yummy blanket. Which has been the perfect companion on the chilly rainy days we’ve had lately. It’s super soft, but actually heavy enough to keep me warm… and for someone who shakes like a Chihuahua when they’re cold, that’s a huge win. It’s made from the same luxurious feeling fabric as their mattress cover and is double-sided for even more softness. It’s also Mackie approved, but that really doesn’t take too much….

Happy Holidays! I want to wish you all a wonderful weekend and a Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah, if you celebrate either one.
