Meet Henry

Henry's first photo shoot

 We have a very special new addition to the family - an 11-week old schnoodle (schnauzer-poodle mix) named Henry! We picked him up on Friday and it's been delicious chaos ever since. I forgot how much work a puppy can be, so it's been constant care and attention - plus outdoor potty training and middle of the night whining ever since!

We really wanted a buddy for our dog Gus, who has some anxiety issues. He's starting to adjust as of today, but definitely went through a jealous phase on Saturday and Sunday! He's used to being an only pooch :)

It was also my bday yesterday so there were all kinds of wonderful things going on - dinner out with my hubby and a family birthday party. So great! I'm happily exhausted today and back to work...but I can't wait to rush home and see my little Henry!

 Sweetie pie!

How was your weekend friends?

Style Peek: sweater coat + white t + skinny jeans

Hey everyone! I'm back after being down and out with an awful sinus cold. I missed a ton of work and was stuck in bed for 5 days. Yikes. So glad it's getting out of my system! You kind of forget how yucky it is to be sick until you actuall are....hope you're all staying strong and healthy this January!

So, truth and honesty time - I gain weight very quickly and after a very indulgent holiday, I'm feeling it. Both in my clothes and in my self-confidence. A terrible side effect of this is bad purchasing decisions - meant to help me feel better about myself. Do you ever do that? Ugh. Why do we torture ourselves?? So I'm putting it out there to help get myself back on the wagon. This is an Anthro sweater coat I found on super sale while on my December trip to Calgary. I love it, even though sometimes I feel like it's flattering on me and sometimes I know it's not :) It's so cozy to cuddle in. My sweater security blanket - so to speak!

Have a lovely week everyone! Are you feeling the January pinch like me? How do you get back on track?

Style Peek: striped t + black cardi + skinny jeans

How was your weekend? Besides being busy with dinners (Splurge on Friday and family on Saturday), Jack was sick sick sick! I keep feeling like I'm getting it but never do, so we just kept it pretty low key for the rest of the time. I recently added a third yoga class to my weekly schedule, on Sunday afternoons, and it's been a great way to finish off the weekend and keep my back feeling strong!

This casual striped T was another holiday sale purchase from the Gap, only 6 bucks! Striped T's have really become my favourite kind of basic T. With a simple cardi, skinny jeans and a cute piece of jewelly - they really can go from weekend to office. We've settled into a bit of a deep freeze here in Winnipeg so layers are a huge must!
