There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.

This is my precious little puppy named Pumpkin back in November when she was 7 weeks old. I love her so much. We previously had a german sheperd for 12 years that passed away. My heart was sore for several years and I didn’t buy another dog because the pain of losing our sheperd (Sadie) was still too fresh in my heart and mind. Finally though, my daughter kept begging and begging. (So did my husband for that matter !) So for my daughters 16th birthday, we bought her Pumpkin.What was I waiting for ? This puppy brings me so much joy ! She is always doing something silly to make me laugh.

 I Believe…
That just because two people argue, doesn’t mean they don’t love each other. And just because they don’t argue, doesn’t mean they do love each other.

 I found Cathy through a work at home mom blog that I regularly read and found it to be a treasure worth sharing ! Cathy sells personalized handmade ornaments (perfect for this time of year !) -and they are the cutest little things. One of her biggest sellers, a personalized pea pod ornament, was far too much for me to resist ! I absolutely had to have one because not only was it cute, but it also brought back fond memories from when my son Timmy was dressed as a pea pod for his 2nd halloween. He had a little dark green suit that had these lighter green foam balls velcroed to the front of it. It was topped off with a little hat that had a stem on top. He looked so adorable and you couldn’t help but laugh because it was just plain funny. Wow….that was a long time ago. My son is now 15 years old…haha !

Check out Cathy’s ornaments and grab a few for your tree this year. She has a big variety of personaized ornaments including ones for new baby, newlyweds, naughty girls (check out the panty ornament !) and can also make personalized pins as well.

Cathy’s Personalized Ornaments

Paul Newman, one of the last of the great 20th-century movie stars, died Friday at his home in Westport, Conn. He was 83. The cause was cancer, said Jeff Sanderson of Chasen & Company, Mr. Newman’s publicists.

He acted in more than 65 movies over more than 50 years, drawing on a physical grace, unassuming intelligence and good humor that made it all seem effortless. But the movies and the occasional stage role were never enough for him. He became a successful racecar driver, winning several Sports Car Club of America national driving titles. He even competed at Daytona in 1995 as a 70th birthday present to himself. In 1982, as a lark, he decided to sell a salad dressing he had created and bottled for friends at Christmas. Thus was born the Newman’s Own brand, an enterprise he started with his friend A.E. Hotchner, the writer. More than 25 years later the brand has expanded to include, among other foods, lemonade, popcorn, spaghetti sauce, pretzels, organic Fig Newmans and wine. (His daughter Nell Newman runs the company’s organic arm.) All its profits, of more than $200 million, have been donated to charity, the company says.

Several years before the establishment of Newman’s Own, on Nov. 28, 1978, Scott Newman, the oldest of Mr. Newman’s six children and his only son, died at 28 of an overdose of alcohol and pills. His father’s monument to him was the Scott Newman Center, created to publicize the dangers of drugs and alcohol. It is headed by Susan Newman, the oldest of his five daughters.
