Groove Book

Okay, I had to tell everyone about the coolest App I discovered a couple of months ago.  I'm kind of a memory junky.  I love pictures and scrapbooks of all kinds and have a stack of photo albums and a zillion framed pictures to prove it.  I print pictures ALL THE TIME which costs a pretty penny.  But for the most part, my iphone pictures have stayed on my phone which is sad considering my phone is my most handy and accessible camera for those spur of the moment photo opps.

Ronnie saw Groove Book on the Shark Tank in January right at about the time I started seeing it on Pinterest.  It sounded too good to be true:  $2.99/month for up to 100 4x6 prints bound in a cute book- THIS INCLUDES SHIPPING.  We took the risk and signed up and I couldn't be more pleased.  The prints were great quality (keeping in mind that these are low resolution cell pics that can often times be a tad blurry when you take them) and the price is unbeatable.  Trust me.

For those wondering how it works, all you do is

• Download the App
• Upload pictures from your cell phone
• And wait for your monthly close date!

A few days later, your book arrives!

The possibilities here are endless.  You can print last months pics, create a book for an event or trip, or print a theme book (all my puppy pics)!  Since all the pages have perforated edges, you can also tear them out for your own photo books or frames!  Another plus is once you create an account, you can access your account from other phones.  Ronnie did a book on his phone the month after I did mine on my phone.

We have been very impressed with Groove Book and are excited to continue receiving memories in the mail.

PS~ Let me know if you want a code to get your first month free!

Humble Hubby Brag

Just had to take a second to brag on my amazing husband.  He has conquered so many projects this week that I have probably lost count.  He has made phone calls, scheduled appointments, sat in meetings, worked on projects, and run errands all while continuing to clean up the house for me and take care of three little pups.  He is pretty awesome.  I dont know what I would do without him, especially on full weeks like this.  :)

Sulley and his Snow Spots

While the rest of the midwest is enjoying the "warm" weather (barely above freezing), Sulley seems to still be mourning the lack of snow.  He has spent all winter going outside in it and is willing to play a bit while Boomer and Mia try their hardest to avoid going out altogether   The snow has melted in the last few days and Sulley seems completely confused about where to do his "business" outside.  The poor thing doesn't seem to know what to do without a pile of snow to pee on.  As the patches of snow grew smaller and smaller, he diligently hunted them down in the far corners of the yard when he had to go.  Now, with no snow at all, he wonders aimlessly for a bit before reluctantly settling for soggy grass.  I think he will be the only one excited when the next polar vortex hits tonight and tomorrow.  ;)

This was on one of our -45 degree days when all the dogs had trouble with cold feet.  We passed the boots around all day.  

Big Dogs

Well, we seem to have adjusted to life in the dog house, though I had my doubts that we would get to this point.  Everyone seems to be a part of the "pack."  Play time can get a little rowdy with three little dogs especially now that the puppy can fully hold his own.  He gives Mia a run for her money when it comes to tug-o-war and chase.

Care Packages!

As many of you know, I have a love for snail mail.  There is nothing quite like getting a letter or package in your mailbox when you least expect it.  I just wanted to share a couple of the fun packages I sent out last month.  I had fun with them.
