It's been a few days since that monstrous box arrived with Mackenzie's new high chair in it. Compared to everything else on the market right now, we think we got a great deal. We paid 60 euros for this one at Tchibo and it compares to other chairs starting at 100...
Shipping cartons that are just right for a Newfie
Today was a big day of deliveries here - some for business and some for pleasure. One of them included Mackenzie's new high chair which I'll be talking about more very soon. What I found really interesting about the various packages is how efficiently some of them...

Too hot to handle
Morning dog friends, I need some help. My mom is totally confused about what is up with me these days. The humans suspect I'm in heat but I barely leave any blood so that's the least easy way for them to confirm. They're also not too good at identifying swollen vs....
Making your own baby food – the KISS method
For those who have never heard of (or forgotten) what the K.I.S.S. method is, it means: Keep It Simple Stupid. Since the day we started feeding "solids" to Mackenzie, it was apparent that she wouldn't be settling for jarred baby food very long. The only boxed thing...
Presents all around for Mackenzie – the christening continues
I know it was a month ago already (WHAT?!?!) but I've been busy. So please forgive the lateness of this post...oh, and thee are still two more parts to the christening weekend to come. Maybe I will get those done before June is over... As the parent of a young child,...
Maybe blondes do have more fun…
Hey dog friends! Sorry I haven't been around much. We've been traveling and had visitors...and I couldn't get mom to sit down for dictation. You have no idea how hard it is to type on her laptop with these huge paws!! I haven't gotten to play with too many of my...
Let them eat cake – the after christening pre-party
We had Mackenzie christened on May 1st and following the main event was a WHOLE LOT of food. Almost every event with the family involves lots of good food, especially in Bavaria. After Mack caught a few winks on the way back to Oma's and Opa's house, she was ready to...
Bless you little one
On May 1st, Mackenzie Skye Anne was christened. We had the ceremony in Bavaria in the same church where Stefan and I had our church wedding ceremony almost 7 years ago. This beautiful church is in a small town called Metten which is very close to where Stefan's...
Extreme sheepherding – now those are some well trained animals!
Hey pupsters! Hope you're having a stellar week. And if not, maybe this little video will bring a smile to your face! Apparently some sheepherders in Wales who call themselves the Baa-Studs have far too much time on their hands. I can only imagine that the sheep and...
Food, glorious food
The week that Mackenzie turned 4 months old, we decided to start giving her a few solid foods to see how she liked them. I intended to share some photos of the first eating sessions shortly there after, but here we are almost at the 5 month mark and I haven't gotten...
