We watched one of the most beautiful documentaries ever! Not just because the cinematography was soooooo incredible, but because the actual nature that was filmed was absolutely breathtaking. I’m not kidding… I found myself in tears several times in mere awe of our underwold’s beauty, very moving. Disney’s OCEANS is definitely a must see!

I woke up to breakfast in bed with heart shaped pancakes – oodles of thanks to my sweet husband! No, that is NOT meat. It’s yummy soy sausage 😉 .
Our dear friends Carol & Charlie made us a beautiful basket. Including home made, heart shaped dog biscuits for the pups. How did we get so lucky?
Here’s the front of the card I gave Steven – too funny! Hope everyone had a great Vday 🙂 .
Another new family member? You got it! Meet our golden-doodle pup, Montgomery. We call him Monty for short. Mona loves him, as do we!
The time was right for us to welcome a new member into our family. Meet our golden retriever puppy, MonAmie. (Mon Amie = My Friend in French!)
We call her Mona for short.

1. Latisse – Eyelash Enhancer
I’ve been using this for a year now and couldn’t be happier with the results! Every bride should buy this product for their ‘big day’. It’s a great way to enhance your look. It will run you about $100 a bottle by RX only, but there are several other options available today. Special tip: Use a small painters brush to apply (the bottle will last you 3+ Months!).

2. Clarisonic – Facial Brush
I have always liked using a facial brush to clean my face. This one does a great job of cleaning out your pores and exfoliating. The body brush is really nice for your legs too. $200
3. HairDresser – Scott (Erik of Norway)
I had to make Scott one of my favs for the year. He is an amazing stylist – ‘the’ best! He styles celebs when they are in town, goes to NYC for fashion week, etc. He is amazing! I’ve never had so many compliments on my hair than from the day I started going to Scott. Even at $100 a haircut – I can honestly say it has been worth every penny! I have a $25 coupon for 1 lucky lady who wants to treat themselves to a new look – jet me an email. Hurry, it expires 12/31/10!
4. HD Microfinish Powder – Make Up Forever
Look no further for the perfect powder! I received this product as a freebie from Sephora and was absolutely blown away by the results. It is an absolute for anyone getting their picture taken – even guys. It totally evens out skin tone and really feels amazing on your skin – like silk (probably because it’s made from 100% silica!). The word “WOW” will definitely come to mind when you try this product. So give it a whirl for $30.
5. Insta-Dri Nail Polish – Sally Hansen
I’m always on the look out for the perfect nude nail polish. This one in ‘beige blast’ is my new fav. With one stroke (comes with a super wide brush), one coat, you are done! It’s AWESOME! For around $5 at any drugstore, it can’t be beat.
6. Jimmy John’s – Veggie Sub
Oh my gosh, if you haven’t tried this sandwich – run out and get one now! Steven and I are hooked. Especially since I recently became a vegetarian. (But hold the mayo for me!) Great taste, great price, great service – SUPER FAST!

Many of you that know us personally, know how much our dog, Dollie, meant to us. She was a very significant part of our lives. We called her our ‘dogter’, because she really was our baby. So it is with a VERY heavy heart that we had to say good bye to our sweet girl on Sunday. She was very sick. Steven and I are both devastated by her loss, but we know that with time and thoughts of the wonderful joys she brought into our lives, these deep wounds will heal. Thanks to all of those that not only loved her over the years, but also extended their warm thoughts, and support during this very difficult time.
These photos were taken just last week when we were testing our new lighting system in the garage. As always, Dollie followed us where ever we went.
Other Dollie blog posts HERE and even samples of her swimming HERE. We are putting together an album design and look forward to sharing it soon.
We love you Dollie – forever.

I’m super proud to announce my little sister’s graduation from dental hygiene school! It’s so awesome to see this next chapter of her life unfold. Goooooooooooo LIZ!
Notice the book Mom gave her! Also be sure to take note of the button Mom is wearing – it’s Lizzie’s grade school picture (Mom made them when we were kids)! Too cute!
