#tbt :: a puppy + a pupcake

Charlie's friend Ace just turned 2 and he was so generous to share his birthday pupcakes 

(i suspect when you have kids the dogs in this story change to children, no?)

Ace's mom (Kaylee) made amazing pupcakes; shredded carrots, peanut butter, milkbones - everything a puppy dreams of.

This montage of her demolishing this pupcake is probably the cutest thing ever:

All done! 

iphone pic roundup

I know you're sitting there thinking to yourself; 'man, i wonder what crappy iphone photos Amanda has been taking lately'. Don't worry, I'm here to oblige. 

This puppy gets soo tuckered at daycare that she can't even be bothered to put her tongue in her mouth when she passes out. 

The struggle is real.

During our stretch of warm weather, the puppy learned the joys of passing out in the sun.

So sorry for the food posts but Phil and I discovered something new at Von Hansons. For as much as we frequent that joint, it shouldn't be possible to find something new - but we did! 

Peppercorn rubbed beef skewers & Chipolte Chicken skewers (with zucchini, of course). We grilled it up, sat on the deck and enjoyed the weather!

The little lady celebrated her first 1/2 birthday. 

Pretty typical cuddle sesh. 

NEW MUMFORD. 

I'm going to be honest, I wasn't a big fan of Believe. One radio station compared it to Coldplay and then that's all. i could. hear! The Wolf is much better and (in my opinion) much more true to them. 

Guacamole + Cucumber Infused Vodka = All the makings for a bitchin' Friday night on the patio. 

There you have it. I'm glad I could grace you with my mediocre photos.

Until next time, folks.

Nicole's Briday Shower: My cousin Nicole is getting married at the end of November and I helped plan! I love planning showers. It was such a fun day with family! Can't wait for the wedding! #chiefsbigday

kiley & i

We had weekends away, selfies with the pup, lots of summer time beer and yard games, birthday & engagement celebrations.. the list goes on.

And now.. the fall.

clearly

....i have more christmas/birthday items to add to my list :)

My lovely co-worker Allison and I have too many of the same clothes, scarves and taste in everything! So, naturally when she showed me this iphone case, I had to have it too! It has convenient little card holders for credit cards/id and the color is so rich and beautiful. must. have!

This adorable little ring from Madewell (which is opening at Southdale this week!)

And, a shot out to my husband.. I'd take one of these for my next six birthdays & christmases. hint, hint.
