PUPPIES!!

Okay, so I must confess, I have an obsession with puppies! Not all puppies though. I like baby beagles, labs, and huskies.....and those kinds of dogs. I don't like fluffy fur balls which in turn makes me a short haired fan. So my love for puppies, not dogs, but puppies has softened Dustin quite a bit. We passed the pet store today so of course I made Dustin stop. We went in and found a baby pek-a-chi, which is a mix of a Pekingse and a Chiwawa. Now we dont like either one of these dogs but we loved this little puppy. And by the time we left, which was almost an hour later, Dustin was wondering if we should move apartments so that we could buy this dog. I never thought those words would come out of his mouth. He did not grow up with dogs and is not a dog fan, but we both loved this short haired, 1 pound puppy. I have included a picture of what she kinda looked like! And for the purpose of this blog, we will call her Roxy.

Cardboard Spice Rack

For the last year and a half of our marriage, Dustin and I are always frustrated when we go to find a certain spice for cooking. They are always hard to reach, for me, and usually in a jumbled mess. So we decided a week ago that we would go on a search for a spice rack. One that would keep us organized. So we started our research online and found them to be expensive and not exactly what we needed. We needed one that had cubbies and would fit in our tiny cabinet. So then one night, while I am talking to my family online, I see Dustin pull out cardboard, duct tape and a swiss army knife. 30 minutes later he has constructed an entire tier of cardboard cubbies. I was so interested in where this was going that I signed off with my family and decided I would help. So 2 hours later, we had 3 different sections of 4 tiered cubbies for our spices. We are so proud of our custom designed spice rack. Though it is a little wobble and simply held together by duct tape, we now have an organized (and reachable might I add) way to store our spices.
