Our new farmhouse has a wood stove in the house which we are super excited about. I was supposed to be researching how to replace the bricks inside the stove when I found these super cute wood stove steamers. They have steamers in cast iron and so many different styles and shapes you can get yours here or here. I most definitely will need one of these! Please note this post contains links to affiliates. I make a small commission on the…
We spent valentines day with my husbands family painting. We went to painting with a twist here in Greece NY. Our artist/host Heather did a wonderful job of guiding all of us through our painting. The structure of the painting was the same as everyone else’s but we all added our own personality to our own piece. The painting that we chose was two mason jars on a table with flowers coming out of them. I say flowers because originally…
I absolutely love this dog toy! Crinkits not only satisfy my dogs irrational need to kill water bottles but they are very durable. Gus has had the same Cricket for about a year and still loves it. Crinkit also floats which makes it super fun for water loving dogs. This toy comes in several colors including pink, orange and blue. This toy also comes pre stuffed with a water bottle meaning its fun chewing time for your pup the…
You find all kinds of wonderful families in unlikely places. I was lucky enough to be able to buy a horse about a year and half ago. I never would have imagined that this horse would lead me to a wonderful family I never knew I could have. This is my barn family! Many of us go to the barn for many reasons, including exercise, therapy, stress relief, and companionship. I go to the barn for all of…

I wanted to get her a special name tag, well really special everything (embroidered towels, collars and special toys) I didn’t go overboard at all. I found a store on etsy that had the most adorable name tags! I ordered one for Olive and will be ordering ones for Gus and sheba today as well. The tag is…
I am always in search of the perfect dog toy. I look for sturdy well built toys that won’t destroy my house. Its always a plus if they are food puzzles. While christmas shopping I found this wonderful toy! The Odin is a interlocking Dog Treat Toy that is also dishwasher safe. My labrador loved rolling rolling this toy around and being rewarded for her efforts. My border collie chose the more intelligent route…. hold it and yell…
We have had our smoker for about 4 months. We love our smoker so far and have done 2 turkeys, 2 separated meals of salmon, at least 4 rabbits and some chicken. The smoker is easy to use and monitor as well as large and spacious for those larger items. Master Built Smoker made their shelves removable and adjustable so you can easily fit an 18 pound turkey with chicken or a whole rabbit in at one time. The only…
As a dog trainer and wife of a veterinarian I always strive to find high quality treat that are not only affordable but palatable. I have been using Stewart Freeze Dried Liver treats for some time now. We got our border collie last year and he is a very picky eater. He enjoys working for liver treats and rarely gets bored with them during training. I also love how they come in many different sizes so I can use them…
