Happy Birthday "BIG D"!

I haven't posted in 5 days... for a GOOD REASON... my Hubby's Big D's birthday was yesterday and outside of an amazing sales week/appointments with customers and LIFE, my main focus was shopping, planning, and designing his day to be as special as possible. It's is getting harder and harder to make things special and unique because we have everything and we have been together since we've been 15 1/2.  I'm doing the best I can to continue making his birthdays as amazing as he is.    

Girls Just Want To Have Dunn!

Have I mentioned that I love Rae Dunn? Below are a few of the pieces that I have collected or been gifted over the last 1.5 years. The true Rae Dunn collectors RISE EARLY and stand at Marhsall's, HomeGoods, and TJ Maxx to rush in a swoop all of the latest and greatest pieces.  I do not feel the need to do that.  I just buy them as I find them and I am ok if I don't have every piece.  In fact, I prefer to only have pieces that I really love.  My girlfriend Emily purchased the below shirt for me after learning of my love for Rae Dunn. She started out making fun of me that I have words all over my home, but after I bought her puppies a dog bowl set... she then became attached too! The shirt is just perfect.  She said, "I was torn between this shirt and one that said, "SHIRT"." I almost died in laughter.  

Sadie and Simon's Christmas

I've shared these thoughts just recently, but everyone that I purchase gifts for is considered in great lengths. EVEN OUR DOGS! 

Our dogs are truly treated like "royalty" and that is exactly why I HAD to buy that (above) $40.00 Rae Dunn dog bed as soon as I spotted it.  This was an item that I have been on the hunt for.   know, white dog bed, seems crazy, but they've had it for a good three weeks now and it's still very white.  My dogs are CLEAN!

Sadie and Simon always get a Christmas stocking filled with new toys and new treats. Sadie is always so A.D.D. on Christmas morning. She has to be RIGHT in the middle of us and paces the living room floors, so this year I tried a LARGE, candy cane rawhide shaped bone.  It was a HUGE blessing because it kept her fully entertained AND STILL for 45 minutes.  

See what I mean?? Every time we opened a gift, we started to throw our wrapping paper and boxes in the same spot and Sadie NEVER moved.  She received a royalty bed, but chose to be in the midst of it all.  If you are looking for a true family dog... a Rhodesian Ridgeback would be it.

And I always buy Simon new clothing.  He's not really a fan of clothing, but in the Winter, it's sorta critical for him. I bought two hoodies.  One said "Fierce", the other said, "Hangry".  I decided to only keep one. The word "fierce" fit him better.

Oh I could eat him up with a spoon.  He's so adorable.

 They also received a new water bowl by Rae Dunn!

To say they are spoiled is an understatement, but these dogs give me the MOST unconditional love ever and I feel so incredible lucky to have them! Besides, if you're going to have a dog, be the best dog owner you can be. Seriously!
