We said goodbye to Bebop Pugman yesterday and we are feeling his absence heavily today. Bebop was such a good pug and such a trooper through this life where it wasn’t always easy for him. He taught us all to “just be” and he will be missed terribly. We love you Bubba I hope you’re …
We are so fortunate to get to live in an area in Southern California where there are actually four seasons. And for this LA girl – who until about two and a half years ago only knew one long and hot/warm-ish season with occasional rain – it is not only incredible and beautiful to experience …
Kiss Me, I’m Irish! Growing up with the last name Shanahan led to many questions about my heritage, mostly in the form of “Oh, Irish are ya?” after hearing my name or introducing myself… to which, of course, I would smile and respond yes, I am Irish. But never being to Ireland, and beyond a …
I LOVE when young artists get noticed for their terrific work. And even more, I love when they are family! Self-described as a “Satirical Cyber Feminist” my cousin Casey Kauffmann is a young and emerging artist who recently started an Instagrarm series/project called @UncannySFValley comprised of digital art based on her fascination with how people …
Follow me on Instagram to see these in real time. Come back here every Sunday for all the details. Hope You Had a Wonderful 4th of July Weekend! We had so much fun I had to take yesterday off to recuperate! With a house full of family and friends and cake pops, everyone was in …
Lovecats, I don’t usually share these kind of posts here, but my cousin Kelley really needs your help! She’s been in a custody war with her ex husband, an abuser, who will not stop taking her to court in order to {ruin her life, in my opinion}, but also to gain back custody of their …
by Patty Joy The other day my daughter and I were driving and we passed one of my favorite boutiques in Studio City. And so, with no hesitation at all, we stopped to walk along the boulevard and do a little window-shopping. All of a sudden my daughter shrieked with joy at the sight of …
Even though my mom had planned on coming up for a visit next weekend, since I’ve been having such a rough time lately, she dropped everything and drove up this weekend to spend time with me. And I needed it so much. There’s something really reassuring about knowing someone will literally change all their plans …
I’ve been working with Crocs for a few years now, and in lieu of throwing one big summer party, wherein I get to give away free shoes to my friends and family like I did last year, I thought since we live a little bit further now, we’d have quality weekend visits with just a …
If you follow me on Instagram… or even Twitter or facebook, you may have seen the photos I posted on Saturday night after a little run-in with A HUGE BROWN BEAR right in our driveway, dining in our trash like he had a reservation. The night’s special: Fish Pasta. But let me start from the …
May 2013 bring the best to us all… May every moment of this new year bring us love and happiness and prosperity and hope that we can enjoy our many blessings in this life, each and every day. Let this be the year of smiles and happy tears! * FACEBOOK * TWITTER * BLOGLOVIN’ *
We have a really fun neighborhood full of great people and tons of kiddos, who happen to remember that we always give out full-sized candy bars on Halloween AND we let them choose whatever they want. This year was no different really, except for the addition of Miss Delilah George, who was meant to go …
Let me just start off by saying, for the millionth time, that I am impressed every time a new pair of Crocs shoes arrive at my doorstep. Not only are they well made, ridiculously light-weight, comfortable, AND affordable, they are stylish as well. My husband literally has not taken them off since he slipped on …
My brother and sis-in-law FINALLY found out the sex of their baby yesterday …and just as my title screams, IT’S A GIRL!!!! …and even though Morgan’s belly has been growing steadily, it all seems a bit more real now …and every time I think about it I get a little lump in my throat. My …
