Today two of my favorite pups passed away. Chris’s parents had two older dachshunds that were both not doing very well. Farewell, Bob and Dug. You will forever be missed.
Dug is the larger short haired wiener dog (Darth Vader), and Bob is the one wit crazy grey hair (Chewbacca). Cooper is a BABY in this video. He plays Hans Solo.
Cory (Chris’s brother) made this video about 5 years ago.
If you follow me on instagram or twitter, there is a good chance that you have seen my new favorite coffee mug!
Café Press reached out to me a while ago to see if I was interested in reviewing one of their products. I happily obliged and immediately started scouring their website to see what I would love to test out. As an avid coffee drinker, I was thrilled to find this guy
.
The mug itself is 15oz. with a steel inner-sleeve and snap-tight lid. I use it with our keurig and it fits 12oz. of coffee with just the right amount of milk. I usually brew my coffee right before leaving for work at around 7am- I can honestly say that the coffee stays hot for a hours! On the rare occasion that I don’t drain my cup by 8:30 or so, this guy keeps my coffee toasty.
I would highly recommend this mug as a gift for teachers (there are lots of different mug styles) or even friends and family. One thing that is neat about café press, is that they can do a lot of personalized gifts. Maybe someday I will make a The Wannabe Foodie t-shirt..! What do you guys think?
*Note: I received this mug to review for free via Café Press. As always, the opinions expressed here are completely my own*
For your Sunday morning.
We all have favorite T.V couples, right?
My favorite T.V couple by far is Nick and Jess from New Girl.
And then there was this weeks episode….
My god. Schmidt cracks me up so much!
What did you guys think of the last episode!? Who is your favorite T.V couple?
Great news everyone! You DON’T need to drive a DeLorean to time travel!
There are quite a few programs and apps out there that are just awesome. Some of my favorite programs have dealt with the issue of time. Timehop in particular, is one of my favorite apps to look at in the morning! The app gathers things that you posted on a variety of locations (facebook, twitter, instagram, etc). and puts everything together in one place, based by date.
It is so fun to wake up and see that you totally kicked butt and ran a new distance the year before, or finished your last final exam. It is also really fun seeing pictures of my Buddy show up from years ago. I can only imagine how great this app would be if you had kids! You can also follow friends who use the app, or share pictures or quotes if you want.
Another one of my favorite “time tools” is OhLife (oh life). OhLife is awesome for people who WISH that they could keep a journal. I have tried so many times setting up a journal. But I am horrible at taking the time to actually write in it! Ohlife does the following….
You can then login in the OhLife page and look back at previous replies that you have written. You can even add a picture! Simply attach the image when you reply to the OhLife email. You can write as little or as much as you would like. I totally recommend OhLife to people who like the idea of journaling, but only have the time to reply to an email.
Another fun tip-
When using Instagram create your own unique hashtag. Doing this makes it SO much easier to find specific pictures. If you notice when I take a picture of Buddy, I use the hashtag #thebuddydiaries. I can then click on the hashtag and go back and see every photo that I have taken of him. If my brother or Chris takes a picture of Buddy, they use it too. It makes looking back a whole lot easier! Any helps me realize that I take FAR to many pictures of my dog.
Feel free to check out pictures of buddy by looking up #thebuddydiaries OR Cooper at #cooperthewonderwiener
