Mackenzie and I came home from the hospital yesterday. Both of us are doing well and very happy to be back in the real world. Well, I'm happy to be back and Mack is getting to know the place. Looking forward to spending some quality time together over the next two...
A day late but not a dollar short
Looks like we will be heading to the hospital any time now. So you won't be hearing much from me for a few days. But then there will be plenty to talk about when we come home with our new daughter! The doctor said he had no clue when she might show up but I guess the...
But I want to be the boss!!
Being isolated and cut off from American television here, I’ve never seen any of the Cesar Millan shows. So when I was approached to review his new DVD series called Mastering Leadership, I was quite excited. If you love Cesar or need help with your dog, check out my...
You’re my Bugaboo…stroller?
We received a cool little micro-fleece blanket made by the company Bugaboo recently, so I decided to go give their website and other products a closer look. In case you haven't heard of them, Bugaboo is a Dutch company which makes some rather funky, trendy, yet...
Essentials when you head to the hospital in labor
It's not here yet but the big day is quickly approaching, so I thought it might be a wise idea to talk a bit about packing bags for the hospital. Obviously everyone has items they'll want with them and this list may not be perfect for you...but hopefully it will get...

Anyone who has had a child or is expecting one knows that there is a seemingly endless amount of things you should have at home so you are prepared for the big day. Thank God we get 9 months to shop for all this stuff, cause it can be very overwhelming. Some may get a...
An apple a day
Where my dogs at? We've moved into November and weather is still cool and lovely. Could be a bit wetter, though. 🙂 And I hope everyone has managed to adjust to the time change now. We apparently moved our clocks back a week earlier than you U.S. dogs and I have to...
No flash photography, please
Barks to my dogs! The paparazzi showed up this week and started taking all sorts of incriminating photos of me. I don't know if there's some sort of reason why the humans need to snap pics all the time but it seems that they might have one of those new camera...
So she’ll sleep like a baby…
We've only got a few weeks left until Mackenzie arrives so putting her furniture together finally seemed like the right thing to do. Stefan did assure me that Warren Buffet let his kids sleep in a drawer of his dresser until they outgrew it and I assume they turned...
