Progression of an Irish Wolfhound

While putting off my math homework today

I went through some pictures on the computer of my sweet baby Maggie

Well....  She was a baby here:

I fell in love with her from this pic, look at the little outline of a heart on her chest!

Not so much anymore.  It's hard to believe it was only a year ago that she was this tiny.  

Now she is a genuine, dyed-in-the-wool monster of a dog...

with the gentle heart of an angel.

(Sounds cheesy and hokey, I know

But it's so true)

I decided to throw together a quick little photo montage of the progression of our Sweet Magma to show you just how much a year has changed her....

Enjoy!

G2D2 -- DOES NOT COMPUTE! Kids Robot Costume

During the School year Tristan (my eight year-old) goes to Choir after school every Wednesday at the local Methodist church

I love it.  He learns awesome stuff and he gets to sing and dance and be creative.

Well every year at the end of each semester of school they have a big performance

And this spring was the first time Tristan ever had more that 1 line and we were so excited

DIY Cushion Lid Soda Crate Magazine Holder

For Christmas this last year my mom gave me my gifts in this really rad old 7up soda crate

I knew with that much character I couldn't just let it go to waste holding some junk in the shed

So, after much Googling, Pinteresting and deliberation I decided on an awesome use for it!

We have had this hideously ugly magazine holder in our bathroom for years

I got it for free like so many other things we have in our house that I absolutely hate now.

And I have been in super purging mode lately.

So I needed a replacement before I could ditch it.
