When you get so immersed with work and family life, you sometimes forget that you need to make your bedroom into a relaxing and stressed free environment by equipping it with stylish yet functional bedroom furniture that will make coming home a more rewarding experience.

You must make your personal sanctuary a reflection of who you are to give you the ambiance and look that you like and the best way to do this is to express who you are through the various bedroom furniture made readily available to you on the internet. One way to start on making your personal space stylishly you is to invest your hard earned cash where it truly counts, instead of buying those fashionable yet expensive pieces you could opt for some solid furniture made of wood when it comes to your bed. This is more practical and will make your bedroom look classy and it will last for several years and never going out of fashion or style, giving you value for your money.

When you have a partner to share the bedroom with, then it is important that you get to agree on the color schemes and design creating harmony within your room and not chaos and confusion. When you are lucky enough to have a wonderful view outside your bedroom window, it is god to position your bed so it faces the window, you’ll not only be greeted by a wonderful sight upon waking up, it is also said to bring luck.

It is also nice to put decorative pieces that make you happy and optimistic, like framed pictures of loved ones or flowers in a chic vase. You could also set the mood inside by experimenting with luxurious fabrics as well as good lighting conditions will go a long way to giving you the look you want.

I don’t want to leave the house. Not in an I’m depressed, can’t get out of bed way…just more of a I’m so happy with my new puppy I don’t want to leave him!! So needless to say, the job search has been put on hold. Just for a couple of days… For any other new dog owners out there, I put this How to Together:

Puppy Proofing Your Home

Simillar to when your infant becomes a toddler and starts to crawl and discover his/her territory, so does a puppy when it gets to a certain age. In your home, you probably have installed guards for your cabinet doors and other baby-proofing gadgets.  There are also some things that you can do to puppy-proof your home and make it safe for your little bundle of canine joy to explore and play. Some simple things you can do in your home to make it safer for your puppy include:

1.Cleaners and poisonous chemicals must be kept in a locking cupboard in either the kitchen or a bathroom.
2.Clean up any antifreeze or other garage spills right away to ensure that the puppy won’t lick the area.
3.Pick up anything small enough for a puppy to swallow off the  floor.
4.Eliminate newspapers, books, and magazines from the reach of the puppy chewing them.
5.Conceal all utility wires and cables.
6. Put away shoes, socks and other similar items that tempt your puppy to make a meal out of them.s
7.Trashcans and wastebins should be kept out of sight under the sink or in a cupboard.
8.Vacuum your carpets often to pick up things that may interest your pet.
9.Stow away items such as pens, pencils and other arts/crafts and sewing materials.
10.Leave your cigarettes someplace that the dog can’t access.

The backyard is also part of your home.  If you would like your pup to be protected, you will keep the yard maintained, free of garbage, and free of gaps and holes in the fence.  Do you use lawn treatments that contain chemicals?  If so, be sure that your puppy is constrained to that part of the lawn while the chemicals are drying or being absorbed. Do you have a garden?  If your pup plays in the garden, he could be subjected to the chemicals in pesticides, fertilizers and the like.  Your choices are to use environmentally friendly non-toxic products or teach your puppy to keep away from the garden.  Does your house have a swimming pool?  Yet again, chemicals need to be vigilantly put away.  A fence around your swimming pool will prevent your puppy from getting there unsupervised.

Believe it or not, another consideration for keeping your puppy protected in your new home concerns the people who will be interacting with your dog.  It is your duty to enlighten people, whether guests or family, on what activites are safe for your puppy.  It is especially critical with children, as children can get overly physical.  Specific foods are a big concern with puppies and it is your duty to ensure that people do not feed your dog foods that could injure it, like chocolate and certain bones.

And naturally, you ought to keep a first aid kit nearby and in addition the phone numbers of your veterinarian and the nearest emergency animal clinic in case an accident, illness, or injury should happen.  By following these easy strategies, you and your pooch ought to be able to enjoy a wonderful and safe relationship.

Today was trying…I have been struggling to find a good job here and it just seemed like today, everything was against me. I had an interview today for a cool local company, just doing some admin work and was actually pretty excited about the interview. Got dressed, looked fresh, prepared and set out to conquer. Then I got to the interview and realized that it was a total predatory company with one of those ridiculous pyramid schemes. Such a waste of time and energy, I’d have rather slept later.

Decided to try and find a Pinkberry to cheer myself up or something like it. Found that it is not open yet. Decide to call it quits on today and get so turned around and lost going home that I drive down a one way street! Ugh. Finally made it home.

The beau was already home and was acting all weird. And then I saw this…

His name is Davy (in honor of Davy Crockett and our recent move to TX). He is a 6 week old blue pit. I don’t care about anything else that happened today. I just really hope he doesn’t eventually eat the cats. I cannot wait to go get him all new puppy stuff tomorrow. Definitely going for a spiked dog collar.

Hi!! Welcome to my blog! I’m Katherine (Kat) and I cannot wait to get this thing up and running. I created this blog to allow my friends and family to be able to stay close and keep them updated on my antics.

I recently moved across the country to be with my true love and we are starting a brand spankin’ new chapter of our lives!!

Still looking for a “real” job and working as a barista in local coffee shop (Austin Java). A bit fanatical about animals…I clearly love cats and also dogs. I am somewhat interested in opening a shop, something similar to a pet bakery boutique…but don’t have all the plans drawn out just yet. Love to stay at home at watch movies or go out and see live music. It is strange being so far from home, but I am sure I will manage! So I hope you follow along as I get acclimated to my surroundings.

You will surely hear lots about our pets and me getting lost in a new town!
