Happy hot dog season! At our house we love a good grilled hot dog, preferably a little burnt. Jake likes his plain (like most foods) or maybe some cheese. I like to top mine with a little ketchup, a sliced tomato and sometimes a few onions to add a nice crunch. Although I am open to trying more of a gourmet hot dog like the Hawaiian-Style Dog that is topped with mango salsa. What’s your favorite way to top a dog?

Melanie from You Are My Fave had her beautiful baby boy back in April. A few days ago she posted the little guy’s birth announcement. They are just precious. Take a look.
Jake and I had a successful weekend. We slept late on Saturday and spent the afternoon unpacking a few neglected boxes and hanging up some of our art around the house. We had to run a few errands around town so we stopped by Goodwill to see if there was anything good. We found two awesome things! The first was this old yellow chair. As soon as I saw it I knew it was perfect. Of course it was dirty and needed a little love but when we got home we cleaned it up and it now looks much better. I really like the mustard yellow but the fabric is pretty warn so we plan on reupholstering it soon. Jake also found some Star Wars toys to add to the collection he has set up at work. That night we grilled and played some games with friends, then ended the day watching Pixar’s new movie Brave. Of course Pixar never dispoints. It was a great movie.
I always see cake pans in all kinds of fun shapes, but I never buy them since space in our kitchen cabinets is like gold: rare and hard to find. Quirky’s Ribbon Bake Any Shape Pan solves that problem. Yep, it does exactly what it sounds like it does; it bakes any shape! Right now it is still in the development stages but I can sure see that in my kitchen’s future. Move over cookie sheets and cake pans, we have a new kid on the block!
I hope you’re inspired to grab some friends, some yummy ice cream and enjoy summer’s sunny days.

Here’s a little humor for hump-day. Designer Gary Nicholson created a series of posters using typographic puns to humor fellow designers. I think it worked.

This is one of those design concepts that is so simple it’s brilliant. It’s so cool how they incorporate the surrounding textures and colors into the design. Brilliant, just brilliant.
Just wanted to introduce everyone to the (soon to be) latest addition to our pack: Pixel Gutenberg Bartlett. We picked him out on Saturday, and now have to wait probably the longest three weeks of our lives before we can bring him home. We picked up some toys and a bed for him on Saturday.
It was really difficult to pick him out of the two litters available. They were all brought out to us in a laundry basket, and every single one of them was pretty much the cutest thing I’ve ever seen in my life! After looking at them all and picking up a few of them, this little guy stole my heart. I picked him up, and he just felt right. Jamie actually couldn’t decide on one because they were all so cute, so she was happy that he stood out to me. And to top it all off, he was born on our wedding anniversary–so we’ll never forget his birthday! It’s like we were meant to be together.
Be prepared for a bombardment of cuteness coming to our blog starting in three weeks.
I’ve never bought loose tea before, but I image that it compares to whole bean coffee vs. the pre ground stuff; fresher and just all around better. Maybe one of these days I’ll give it a try, and when that days comes I’ll definitely want this stylish bag bobbing around from Eva Solo in my mug.
I also write for Dearest Nature. You can read my post here for this week.
Good morning readers! Today I am over at Yellow Bird Yellow Beard. Janee and her husband are in the process of moving and she asked if I would write a guest post while she is away. Of course I was happy to help out. Head over there to read my post and while you’re at it take a look around her wonderful blog!
