Snowy Sunday

83/365: Woke up to this:

...and my heart melted.  And then, as we made our way downstairs, Charlie discovered it had snowed.

He loves the snow.

I can't say that I hold the same love. But, I do like seeing him so happy. Enjoy your Sunday, friends! I am excited to have some lunch with my dad today. Traveling isn't always fun (although the hubs and I are working on making it more enjoyable), but seeing family is the best. Do you have any travel tips for long drives in the car? Our usual commute is three hours, but next week we will be making a seven hour trip (14 total!). So far, we like asking each other random questions and sometimes learning something new about one another. Seven hours of questions sounds a bit more like a punishment than an enjoyable car ride. ;)

Project 365 Update (AKA Pictures Of My Dog)

76/365: Watching Adam leave on a run. :)

77/365: Went to my first book reading and met the lovely Jenny Lawson (The Bloggess)! She is absolutely hysterical (and SO kind!!).  I'm really enjoying her book, Let's Pretend This Never Happened.

78/365: My husband built this awesome hockey-gear-holder. It usually terrifies me when I go down into the basement. 

79/365: I love my dog.

80/365: I love his curiosity. It's. The. Cutest.

81/365: Here's some love for the nanny-dog, too. He also melts my heart.

82/365: Listening to goofy rap music on road trips home.

I think I may be a tad obsessed with my dog.  ;) His unconditional love is the best.  I hope you're all enjoying your weekend!

62-75 of Project 365...Whew!

62/365: Rainbow Basset. Love my job!

63/365: Yum.

64/365: Finally brought my new (old) bike home. Come on warm weather!!

65/365: Took an evening walk on the Big Four Bridge. Definitely excited to do this again and again. 

65/365: Warm weather = The Flea Off Market, cats in the windows, and one pooped pup.

66/365: My nanny kiddos got a new cereal...and I can eat it! :)

67/365: A sweet moment with all of my babies asleep together.

68/365: Straight hair and a newish hat.

69/365: Tacos with homemade spanish rice. (Not so) fun fact: I ate tacos 3 days in a row this week. Kind of over it (even though they were delicious).

70/365: "Rainbow Hair" (according to my kiddos). :)

71/365: Today I bought a mixer! What a sweet find from our favorite, Tickled Pink! (Yes, I've been cleaning the heck out of it to prevent any gluten issues.)

72/365: Charlie always sits on the kitchen mat when he comes in from the backyard. This was not something we taught him. He's so smart. Trying to make this "trick" work to our advantage. :)

73/365: It's almost beer making time in the Shaw house.

74/365: Spring is coming!! Arnold Palmers on the front porch and flowers in my yard. I'm a happy girl.

75/365: Making some fun changes around the house. :)

Have you ever done a 365 photo project before? I'm finding it quite difficult to keep up. My inspiration has actually taken a break from it herself. Of course, she has other blogging stuff that she's working on constantly. So, I guess it's understandable. :) Wondering though if I wanna call it quits on this or not. I enjoy sharing bits from my daily life, but I find myself pushing back other posts I want to make and then not posting at all. Decisions, decisions.  

Fun Around Louisville

57/365: Dreary days off and awesome Winter Wednesday concerts put on by WFPK. Check out the band here.

 

58/365: Nosey puppy.

59/365: Spontaneous date nights with the hubs. We had delicious tacos here. We welcomed this new store to the neighborhood (will someone please make me a replica of this AMAZING E.T.?! I need it for my collection!). Photo booth photo taken by Magnolia Photo Booth Company.

60/365: I bought a bicycle! I have been drooling over this bike for a couple of weeks and on Saturday Adam took me to Old Bikes Belong to claim it as mine. So in love! Ready for sunshine and bike rides around Cherokee Park!

61/365: I made a new friend. Meet Barney.

Now, I'm ready to enjoy a week off from grad school (read: getting a head start on assignments due next week), open our home to family and friends, and watch my husband play some hockey. What does your upcoming week look like? Have a good Monday!

New Things

53/365: Saturday morning was very relaxing. It consisted of laying around with an adorable basset hound and enjoying a caramel latte from Heine Brothers. All in between studying, of course.

Heine Brothers always has some fun artwork hanging in a little gallery area. I love this print. It just so happens that my V-Day card from Adam (somebody blogged!!) is of the same print.54/365: On Sunday we took our pup on a drive. He gets giddy about going on car rides. It's adorable.Then, we tried a new church. Gluten Free communion? I think it could be a good fit. ;)

55/365: This amazing camera now sits on the mantel in our living room. It belonged to my great grandfather. I wish I knew more than that. It's beautiful and I'm honored to have it. I'm looking forward to learning more.

56/365: We tried a new coffee! There are so many different coffee choices around Louisville and I want to try them all. Our latest sampling came from a place called Sunergos Coffee. It did not disappoint. I'm excited to go back and try more.

Any coffee/espresso drink recommendations out there? I usually enjoy a soy caramel latte, but I'm open to trying new things. What's your favorite?

Busy Bee

Oh man. Remember my last blog post? The one about me having difficulty managing my time
Yeah, still an issue. I'm working at improving. At least I am able to turn my homework in on time. Unfortunately, that means I'm not blogging when I want to. And, I have a huge test to study for this weekend. So, I don't foresee myself managing other aspects of my life too well in the near future. Alas, there's gotta be an upside. Eventually I'll just get it, right? Anyway, here is what I've been up to in-between quizzes, projects, receiving bad grades, resubmitting assignments hopeful for an improved score, and being the best nanny I can be.

43/365: Sometimes, I just want a burger. It is a rare occurrence (poor Adam). However, we've had them twice since I've last blogged! Yum! Oh, also on a GF bun, of course. Sorry, I can't remember who makes them. But, I purchased them from Whole Foods. And they were delish!

44/365: Watching the snow on a much needed lunch break with Adam. I'm going to keep linking back to his blog in hopes that he will write some more. :)

45/365: A sweet Valentine's Day in Louisville with my hubs. It's our 6th V-Day together!

46/365: My usual studying distraction.

47/365: My V-Day flowers from Adam. <3

48/365: Cute basset salt and pepper shakers from Yesternook! What a thoughtful gift. Fun fact: I own 2 sets of basset salt and pepper shakers. Please contain your shock. I know this is hard to believe.

49/365: Coffee break. Also, roses are looking sad. Or, they really want some coffee. Probably the latter.

50/365: Received a thoughtful gift in the mail! Have I mentioned I love the Detroit Red Wings? Because I do. 

51/365: Adventures in Slow Cooker (GF) Stuffed Peppers! YUM!

52/365: More coffee. More distractions.

Happy Friday, folks! Here's to a relaxing weekend. Full of studying. At least there's coffee.  :)

Also, do any of you have formatting problems with Blogger? I find myself having a hell of a time deleting big gaps between photos and text, text randomly switching from left to center, un-linked to linked, etc. It's such a hassle!
