Happy New Year! It has been quite a year. Mostly it’s been amazing- every year has its ups and downs of course- but on the whole I am entirely thankful for all the sparkly wonderfulness and the many chances I have had to learn a little bit more about myself, my family*, and the complex [...]

Um. Okay. This is NOT the look and feel I was going for when I put up the holly, jolly, FREAKING CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS: John may have murmured an “I told you so” but I think what he MEANT to lovingly croon was, “Wow, Shauna that is truly a pain in the butt, how-can-I-help-you-have-you-lost-weight-would-you-like-your-drink-straight-up-or-on-the-rocks?” Best [...]

Yeah to Petstages and their Toss & Shake toy! John’s parents got us this toy for Mickey for Christmas and Kayloo appropriated it for herself and it kept her occupied ALL CHRISTMAS MORNING. I am not kidding you. She sat there and she played with it which meant she spent less time shredding wrapping paper [...]

Holy crap! Look at how sweet they look AND I DIDN’T POSE THEM LIKE THIS OR ANYTHING. … 5 seconds later they were back to their normal selves: … 10 seconds later Mickey was lovingly dragging Kayloo across the living room floor by her collar. Kayloo outweighs Mickey by a good 30 lbs. I enjoyed [...]

In my family it is a time-honoured tradition to go for a huge brunch on the Sunday before Christmas. Right outside the place John and I went for our festive food there were these GIANT PRESENTS. I just wanted to share this photo with you because they are just so… cheery! I hope you’re getting [...]

This shot was from the Cujo photoshoot. If Mickey had a little Devil speaking to him this is what he would look like (I imagine Mickey’s Devil to be male, they’d be like two boys playing hooky, throwing stink bombs and putting salamanders in little girls sandals). Mickey’s bratty little angel would wear a cockeyed [...]

That’s right. Please DO NOT go and get your cute little kid a cute little dog and put a bright shiny bow around the pups oh-so-adorable neck. Cuz you know what? Little Tobi or Fluffy or whatever is decidedly LESS CUTE WHEN THEY ARE CRAPPING ON YOUR CARPET. Top 5 reasons why you should NOT [...]

Even sharing this gnawed on Christmas card with you now, I know it’s a little weak. It’s a card. The corner is gone. YOU CAN STILL TELL IT’S A WREATH. It’s like my dogs aren’t even trying anymore. I mean, how to compare to cushion fluff everywhere (like here) or busting the World’s Perfect Sandals [...]

This is a picture from Christmas 2008 (here is another one). Mickey was about 7 months old in this picture. Ah, how time flies. Speaking of how time flies: Soooo… it occurred to me today that I only have ONE MORE FREAKING WEEKEND before Christmas. WHEN DID THAT HAPPEN EXACTLY? Is anyone else ready? I’m [...]
